Archaeon in Tzeentch!

[Icetea]

Hi team! Question!

I’ve seen a couple of competitive lists with Archaeon and Kairos and a couple of horrors. 
 

im not sure how to play this list against horde heavy armies? Like nurgle spamming 2 groups of 30 plague bearers or 2 groups of 30 savage orruks with 3 up save. 
 

I see this army as being very thin with low damage output. 
At the same time, it looks like a lotta fun as I love Kairos and Archaeon!

any help would be amazing.

@Icetea It's consistently done well in quite a few tournaments the last few months. Here's a couple examples of games from The Honest Wargamer from a few weeks back:

The damage isn't really bad, not much different than 9-12 Flamers in my opinion. Archaon can quite easily wipe out hordes or stick around while you cap objectives.. Kairos + Portal is obviously quite good at sniping heroes and\or pulling things closer for Archaon to charge, especially T1. I would say to watch those vods of the games and you'll have a good impression of how it works.

Check out Bulldoghammer on YouTube as their main Tzeentch player runs Archaon and they do explain why they do the moves they do so it provides a good insight (they actually inspired me to pick up a Tzeentch list!)
