Below you will find quick-play army lists for the Wormhole Daemons from the Grimdark Future universe.
Note: as v2.50 is in constant development the following might not be accurate.
Daemons of Lust (750pts)
This is a v2.50 army list you can build using the Start Collecting! Daemons of Slaanesh box from Games Workshops, or any other models of your choice. A bonus of these Daemon lists is they can be freely played in either Grimdark Future or either Age of Fantasy game, as all units included here are the same between both settings, with the exception of Psychic(X) being Wizard(X) in Fantasy.
A simple starting list that exhibits the incredible speed representative of the Lust Daemons. The Champion of Lust is mounted on a Razor-Flail Chariot and with both Psychic and Mark of Lust, they can serve to be a strong psychic turret, if a bit vulnerable by being so large. The Lust Warriors and Lust Beast Riders are both very nimble and able to cover ground quickly, with the Lust Warriors' Banner of Lust giving them a bit of extra mobility with Strider.
| ++ Daemons of Lust [745pts] ++ |

Lust Beast Riders [5] Q4+ D4+ | 180pts | Daemon, Impact(1), Very Fast, 1x Command Group(Fear)
Special Rules Banner of Lust - This model and its unit count as having the Strider special rule. Daemon - This model may be deployed as if it had the Ambush or the Scout rule (pick one). Speed Boost - This model counts as Very Fast instead of Fast. Symbol of Lust(X) - Once per activation, before attacking, roll X dice.

Daemons of War (1250pts)
This is a v2.50 army list you can build using the Combat Patrol: Chaos Daemons box from Games Workshops, or any other models of your choice. A bonus of these Daemon lists is they can be freely played in either Grimdark Future or either Age of Fantasy game, as all units included here are the same between both settings, with the exception of Psychic(X) being Wizard(X) in Fantasy.
A simple starting list for War Daemons. The Champion of War is your only form of shooting with the Symbol of War, but they're thankfully protected by joining a pack of Blood Warriors while benefiting from Gift of War. The Blood Hounds run at the forefront, harassing any light troops with their spiked collars while having Resistance to block out any psychic powers.
| ++ Daemons of War [1230pts] ++ |
|---|

Champion of War [1] Q4+ D4+ | 95pts | Daemon, Furious, Hero, Tough(3), Symbol of War(1), Gift of War

Special Rules Banner of War - This model and its unit count as having the Impact(1) special rule. Daemon - This model may be deployed as if it had the Ambush or the Scout rule (pick one). Gift of War - The hero and its unit get +1 to hit rolls when fighting in melee. Resistance - This model gets +2 to its rolls when blocking enemy spells. Symbol of War(1) - Once per activation, before attacking, roll X dice. For each 4+ one enemy unit within 18” takes 3 hits with AP(2). |
Many Daemons (750pts)
This is a v2.50 army list you can build using the Forces of the Abyss Mega Army box from Mantic Games, or any other models of your choice. A bonus of these Daemon lists is they can be freely played in either Grimdark Future or either Age of Fantasy game, as all units included here are the same between both settings, with the exception of Psychic(X) being Wizard(X) in Fantasy.
A simple start. One representative of each faction (so technically not Competitive-ruleset compliant, but that won't matter for your first games). One unit for a bit of ranged harassment, the swarm for some hard-to-kill roadblocking, Blood Warriors to deal with well-armored units, and Lust Warriors to deploy in a bit safer place with their 16" charge to deal with lightly armored enemies. Don't worry about being 5 points short of 750, it won't make or break the game for you. Just think about positioning, as your units armor is not the greatest, and they'll get picked off fairly easily if you misplay.
| ++ Many Daemons [745pts] ++ |
|---|
| Change Warriors [10] Q4+ D4+ | 105pts | Daemon, Stealth
Plague Swarms [3] Q6+ D6+ | 115pts | Daemon, Regeneration, Strider, Tough(3)
Blood Warriors [10] Q4+ D4+ | 110pts | Daemon, Furious
Lust Warriors [10] Q4+ D4+ | 105pts | Daemon, Fast
Special Rules Daemon - This model may be deployed as if it had the Ambush or the Scout rule (pick one). |
Many Daemons (1000pts)
This is a v2.50 army list you can build using the Forces of the Abyss Mega Army box from Mantic Games, or any other models of your choice. A bonus of these Daemon lists is they can be freely played in either Grimdark Future or either Age of Fantasy game, as all units included here are the same between both settings, with the exception of Psychic(X) being Wizard(X) in Fantasy.
Representatives from each faction, all with their own purpose - As before, Plague Swarms act as hardy roadblocks, but this time, the Change Warriors have a pair of Psychic models granting two spellcasts to that activation. While they do have a ranged attack, its only really useful for harassment, and its still primarily a melee unit. Lust Warriors have been exchanged for Lust Furies - a Fast, Flying missile unit that throws many dice, still fulfilling the anti-infantry purpose but much more fragile than before - but that doesn't matter if their job is done anyways. The War representatives go all-in on the anti-tank capability, with a Hero who gets 3 attacks with an AP4 Deadly(3) weapon on the charge, while everyone else gets 2 attacks at AP4. Should clear up pretty much any vehicle or Elite infantry you run in to.

Many Daemons (1500pts)
This is a v2.50 army list you can build using the Forces of the Abyss Mega Army box from Mantic Games, or any other models of your choice. A bonus of these Daemon lists is they can be freely played in either Grimdark Future or either Age of Fantasy game, as all units included here are the same between both settings, with the exception of Psychic(X) being Wizard(X) in Fantasy.

While they do have a ranged attack, its only really useful for harassment, and its still primarily a melee unit. Their Hero provides a powerful anti-hero/special weapon carrier sniping ability that doesn't even require line of sight like spells do, although it does only have a 50% chance of actually going off. Lust Warriors and Lust Furies are a Fast missile unit that throw many dice, fulfilling the anti-infantry purpose but being somewhat fragile - but that doesn't matter if their job is done anyways. The War representatives go all-in on the anti-tank capability, with a Hero buffing everyone to hit on rolls of 3+ with Gift of War, while everyone else gets 2 attacks at AP4. Should clear up pretty much any vehicle or Elite infantry you run in to.
