How can I improve it?
I would remove the furies and/or the hounds. These points are better used elsewhere. Hounds are great but need larger unit of them (see #3)
This are my suggestions to you. Your local meta game should be taken into account and I don't know what it is in your area.
#1 - Make the Nurgle block larger get it closer to 25. Bearers don't win combat they hold until you send in reinforcements.
#2 - Add another flamer or two for a min of 4 flamers. 6 in one unit is fantastic
#3 - Add another 2-3 hounds to the unit. less than 5 hounds is useless in my experience and 1 or 2 will die before they get into combat.
#4 - Replace Plaguebearers with 26 Pink horrors and turn Nurgle herald into Khorne herald bsb w/ AoK and soul seeker if you have points left.
#5 - Keep both Fiends they are gold. Don't protect them, let them die for the greater good.
#6 - Flamers are gold also. Don't protect but don't let them get charged either. Flame anything and everything.
Cheers for the feedback mate, couple of things, though
#1 - Nurgle block is there for the Watchtower scenario, it is my least favourite scenario and I typically have to play it 3-4 times in a tourney.
#2 - I had kept them at 3 to mitigate the 25% panic test, before realising i'm taking Daemons (duh!) I'll have a look into it
#3 - I'm hopinh that the Furies and the Hounds will be my fire magnets allowing my 3 key units (PB, BL, Flamers) to close the gap fairly unmolested.
#4 - Again Plaguebearers for watchtower, although Daemonettes might be considered if I drop the Furies and Hounds.
#5 - Done, I love me some sacrifical chaff
#6 - I've had flamers in combat a couple of times and the look on people's face when they hit at S5 - priceless.
What Lore would you Recommend on the HoT? Was thinking Life?
