Demons of pride

[g]

Anybody found a space in their Demon lists for the Demons of pride. Really like the figures so keep using them.
Unfortunately I think that they are overpriced for what they can do. Anybody got any suggestions on how to use them??

ive played 2 games with this list

Army Points: 199/200
Domination: 15
CMD Points: 9

Asaliah / 60
Dammed of pride / 42
Grand dammed of pride / 0
Succubus / 29
Grand dammed of wrath / 26
Succubus / 29
Dammed of sloth / 13


i found the dammed of pride very useful especially mid game when things were beginning to get wounded. quite often a key enemy model will get into a position to use a sneaky order/spell etc and having the attraction/6 order the dammed of pride can suck him into close combat with big bro and more often than not big bro comes out on top. its risky but mid game is usually when asaliashs healing order is used to any damage the big pride takes is normally healed. the little prides aura is also very handy to boost CBT. try to get him in the same range as something with charisma for a +2CBT bonus.

for the points your only really paying 21AP each which isnt too bad when you consider your getting a decent heavy hitter who is can challenge people and keep the chosen model out of the game til one or both dies. the little pride is resonably tough with 9 hit points and PR 1 and dodge ability and is a good buffer and is tactically very good to have around. attraction 6 used at the right moment can swing a battle i promise you.

That's very few models, which is kind of a risk in scenarios that call for tactical domination (or whatever it is called in English - the one where you control objectives by having more models there). Me and another Finnish Demon player came up with this exact same list independently of one another:

Asaliah
Damnè de L'Orgueil
Grand Damnè de L'Orgueil
Ambassadeur Infernal
Grand Damné de la Colère
Damné de la Paresse
Damné de la Paresse
Damné de la Paresse

I can see the point in having both Succubi and the Lesser Damned of Pride in the same list, as the small dude's CBT bonus is cumulative with the Charisma bonus from the Succubus. Still, if one is going for straight out effectiveness, Ambassador is really hard to beat. Countering Vae Victis and especially Vae Soli is just incredible.

As for the Damneds of Pride, that challenge ability is downright incredible and wisely used can win games almost by itself. If you can catch someone like Layla with the Greater Damned - well, that's just really bad news for the Saracens.

Oh crud. Not only are my "regular" opponents the aforementioned 2 demon players, they both are now sporting the same list... and I just happen to play saracens.

Oh well, who said life in hell was supposed to be easy...

If all your opponents play the same list then it should be easy to make a list to take them all on.

That would naturally be the logical answer, but I have my doubts..

Here's a sort of "shock list" with the disposition

Tsilla

  Succ. Is. A.Inf   DO
Golem    GDO    GDC

199pts,9CMD,16dom

They are quite close to each other in order to gain +1+1CBT from the succube and the "little proud"
If someone menaces Isaia he will be protected on one side by the succubus and on the other by the DO who can easily use his attraction order. The two heavy hitters on the side also have Reach 2" to avoid incursions and the Infernal Ambassador can help everybody with terror and bodyguard
Haven't tried it yet, it's just anidea I was workin' on
