Christ, a Tendrils Daemon Prince, because thats not a one trick pony. Seriousally, it's a 4 Wound Model (might even be 3, I can't remember) who flies and causes terror while casting spells.

However, it doens't break ranks, has a rubbish save/toughness, isn't fantastic in combat and did I mention it's save/toughness?

Yeah, please god stay away for your own sake.

I think MoT is better because of the better save and the +1 to cast. That being said, there are some nice Nurgle spells and I guess you could argue that MoN does help some for survivablity.

Why not go for some more agressive items for magic. Like Blood of Tzeentch or Book of Secrets.

Looks good. Enchanted Shield might better here to keep the Puppet alive.

I'm starting to think that MoT is not so great here except with the Blasted Standard.

I like the core set-up, excluding the lack of a second unit of Marauders. I like to think that the Chaos Warriors are the main core units that you are trying to keep to get in CQC, with the Marauders aiding in easier battles, and Warhounds holding flanks, screening the Warriors, and threatening the enemy flanks. With this in mind, I would try to maybe drop the Biting Blade Sorcerer and toss in a unit of Marauders. This would allow you to hold a line of masses of units, giving the other Sorcerer and the Daemon Prince some extra leeway (shoot the massive troops headed their way vs. shoot the specialized leaders). Also, more bodies can aid in maneuverability around a field of battle and even help in capturing and holding objectives (they hit the Maraders, get hit from behind by some Knights/Warriors). You could maybe even just have naked Knights, allowing for a harder decision for the enemy in deciding a unit to chose (Knights or Core).

How have those Flails been working on your marauders? I've changed one squad of mine from flails to LA and Shields because I was tired of them droping like flies when someone looked at them funny. They've been doing pretty well with LA+Shields. They can actually take some charges.
