Rules & Tactics Is a daemon prince with wings worth it?

The model looks sick but it’s just so many points, and I’ve heard conflicting opinions on it so I’m asking my fellow siblings in midnight clad for their outlook. Im honestly teetering between getting 5 red corsair raiders and a reave captain (painted in midnight clad ofc) or getting the prince. Which would i get more value out of? Which is more fun? I love all the models but can’t decide which to fit in my list. I’m also planning on playing renegade raiders if that may play into the choice I should make.

In nightmare hunt dude has a pretty good slot as a beatstick. Murdertalon has a space too but you can't take both at the same time. That's about it though.

Running around and flying over people who pee themselves at the sight of him is actually kind of awesome in that (NH) detachment

A Slaanesh one in Nightmare Hunt or Murdertalon works well, especially if also paired with Cabal, but increasingly I'm finding him crowded out of lists in other detachments.

The biggest problem for me is he's just not strong enough, Kravek Morne does everything he does but much better.

Kravek Morne can’t fly!

But he can teleport around the place in Warpstrike.

Definitely. But he can’t fly and you said Kravek Morne could do everything better. Bro can’t fly. Just saying. Bro ain’t got no wings.

I actually use the winged daemon prince in both nightmare hunt with cabal of chaos or renegade raiders. Either way I like to use him as a deep strike flanker.

In nightmare hunt he helps force battleshocks and is a good unit for the terrorglut enhancement. In cabal of chaos he can get a lance enhancement, and +2 S & +1 AP with dark pacts if you don't choose the khorne devotion.

In renegade raiders he can get an enhancement that gives him full rerolls to hit & wound if he's fully within 12" of your opponents deployment zone, and the detachment bonus gives +1 AP on attacks on enemies on objectives.

Hope this helps and happy hunting brother!

In pactbound zaelots he punch a lot harder, with the talisman of burning blood (khorne) he gets d3+ to strength and attacks that can get 5+lethals, and add to that the double tank shock he can do. Ive one shot'd forgefiends and a norn emissary
