    @Lord Krungharr RIP the plague priest... had an extra 1" range, faster movement, wouldn't waste a command point and could do a reroll all wounds once per game... oh and 40pts cheaper... I rekon the power of the train battalion is the fact you don't have to clump up the cannons and you can tow them all over the place in any direction, even retreating if necessary to bait units towards you. Personally i like to keep the cannons together because they are a bigger threat when surrounded by fireglaive chaff and x2 daemonsmiths. I find the extra expense of the iron daemon tax and the extra 120 isn't worth it. I do have an addiction to 1 maxed out K'Daai unit each time i build an AoS list so i usually have to ditch the battalion to fit it in. And just to be clear, i don't participate in any tournaments. I play with mates in my backyard. We do however always go hardmode and are cheesy as ******. We only play with filthy lists...

    @Lord Krungharr remember if the daemonsmith dies they loose the buff. He has to be on the battlefield as per the wording. I still think the train battalion fits your army very well. 34" threat range of the 3 magmas when you tow them sounds like heaps of fun. I'm not sold on your hero selection. The Castelan and standard never really work for me. Have you thought about a 2nd Taurak with -1 to hit or even x2 extra daemonsmiths and shackels? A chaos sorcerer lord could buff 1 skullcracker reroll 1 saves and also cast reroll 1 for save, wound, hit on the other skullcracker. Have you had a chance to test them out? Still looks like a fun list and hard as nails to take on.

    The Icon of Dominion bearer is a model in your unit. He is treated like any regular model in the unit. While it is alive, he grants the bravery buff to the unit. Same with the musician while it is alive. The Battle Standard Bearer is a character that has a different set of rules and effects multiple units. It can also have artifacts and benefit from look out sir. It is an individual model, not bound to any unit.

    My 2k list has 20 less fireglaives. Replaced by a skull cracker. I find the extra punch/counter charge element/target saturation the skullcracker adds is immense. 3" reach is also a great bonus if behind a unit. It works real well with the big K'Daai unit, chaos sorcerer lord and general. I also do something a little different with my fireglaives. I keep them in units of 10. With lots of small units we can take advantage of our battle trait more often and you can chaff up the board. So 5 units of 10. I always get outdeployed but try to setup knowing you will not get the first turn. With cunning positioning you can have x2 mini castles with x2 fireglaive units, a daemonsmith and a magma cannon as a slow moving section of your army. The last fireglaive unit can be deployed somewhere as a sacrifice for reserve units. Then all the fast stuff together as a hammer blow. Edit: for geminids you can drop the skullcracker and add another Taurak and Geminids.

    @Gwendar the chaos sorcerer lord also has his oracular visions 10" buff so you may be lucky to be in range. I usually put it on the general to increase his survivability. Cool thing about shackles is you can cast it from turn 1 and it just stays there until dispelled. It does then open up casting mystic shield/fireball/arcane bolt/realm spell with the caster that isn't casting the essential buffs. Can't think of a better way to spend 20pts.

    @Gwendar @Lord KrungharrWith 2 Daemonsmiths they can't both be casting ash storm so an endless spell in the list will definitely be able to be cast. ChaosSorcerer lord would just be casting daemoninc power over and over again, same with 1 of your daemonsmiths on Ash Storm duty. This leave the third caster... Shackles works wonders with Ash Storm and Burning Skies battle trait. They help us try to control the movement of our opponents. Usually the pressure they push on our enemy is worse then the actual damage or debuff. Slowing down a flank is great for extra shots from magma cannons and fireglaives. Just don't throw shackles where you are sending your K'daai. Geminids is the other stand out endless spell that helps debuff the enemy. Good range so the daemonsmiths don't need to move much to make them effective. They turn our K'Daai into beast mode if you can get -1 hit from Geminids, -1 hit from Ash Storm and the Chaos Sorcerer reroll 1's for hit, wound and save.... They are all actually easy to get off in one turn but as soon as your opponent has been on the receiving end of a buffed unit of 12 K'Daai with a debuffed unit they will make sure this combo is never successful.... The bright side is they will forget about all your fireglaives and magma cannons for at least a turn or two.

    I always run a big block of 12 fireborn with a an allied chaos sorcerer lord on steed. He always casts daemonic vigor on them granting reroll 1's for save, hit and wound. They roll with my taurak general (grotesque and armour of barry the cruel) for inspiring presence if they take too much damage. They can run and charge on the same turn so 1 cp will guarantee a 6" run if you really need to get there fast. They also have a 3" range. This is huge. They can hide behind a unit of fireglaives and become a real threat if anyone charges. 3" range also means they will usually all get into combat... When you have the reroll 1's up and you swamp an objective with the taurak and skull crusher, everything will die... if you throw in the reroll 1's to save, the 5+ unmodified save becomes much better. Throw in ash storm to help the affair... 12 also gives you points saving over x2 units of 6...

    I think we are stuck with him... it says "the leader is called a xxxx" rather than how the standard and musician are worded as optional.... didn't flag that until now
