I still think Crons are better overall as they cover more of the stuff you need to win. Still - blargh. I won't be playing them. Their rules and cost don't entice me. But for those wanting more Xenos - this is your year! I am just waiting on Orks for right now haha.
What I sent to the Alamo people for my list.
HQ: Keeper of Secrets, Greater Gifts X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Caster, Locus of Conjuration
HQ: Herald of Tzeentch, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Caster
Troops: Plague Bearers X 10
Troops: Plague Bearers X 10
Troops: Pink Horrors X 20, Iridescent Horror
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Pretty basic and simple. It might work. Obviously I have the Book trick and the Portal. Will see if it ends up being ok. Blargh indeed!
I don't think the Horror blob will work - as I could easily dump them and get something else. It is really just thoughts and I think the dog bomb might work with some tricks involved. Will see.
This is the list that I think I should play - if you wanted just a straight forward Daemon Bomb Smash MC 4000!
HQ: Keeper of Secrets, Greater Gift, Exalted Gift, Lvl 3 Psyker
HQ: Lord of Change, Greater Gift X 2, Lesser Gift, Lvl 3 Psyker
Troops: Pink Horrors X 10, Iridescent Horror

Heavy: Daemon Prince, MoS, Armor, Wings, Greater Gift X 2, Lvl 3 Psyker
Basic and simple. Fun stuff indeed.
Played a game with my Alamo list. It did alright - I got owned the first few turns and was able to bring it back when my Daemon opponent didn't get an Iron Arm off and I had one on a flying MoS prince who enfeebled the jerk once. Instant death whips are pretty good I hear?
You need the level 3's to help get Iron Arm when you need it - and Hallucination as well. It just gives you more chances. Fun stuff indeed.
The Wargames Con painted army is coming along - you should see the Dragon in a few days. Woohoo! It is a conversion and it should be a nice center piece for the raffle army.
With that - let's look at some models.
More Dark Angels!
30 Jerks! Set up in small batches of 10 to allow for the winner to have 3 troop choices if they want.
Converted Chaos Lord - the Plague Marines will have the similar evil star fish gut explosion like this guy.
His sword arm was bunk - so I added this. If you are playing Sorcerer's you should be using Force Staves. Much better choice then a sword.
Got bored and drew this and colored it after doing Plastic Dudesmen last week. Bubba wants his bottle!
Alright - with that in mind the paint list at the end as well.
Me
Plastic Dudesmen - Got a script - time to draw
Some Art commissions as well - banners etc.
Wargames Con - Dragon - need to build
7 Plague Marines - Need to build
Figure out my Lord of Change
Jens
Hammerhead - Need to build
Luis
2 More Termies - Primed!
1 Drop Pod - Need to build and finish
more termies?
That is it for now - I am sure there will be others as usual.

I tried your second list in a game against an Eldar player (neither of us knew eachother's armies).
He won first turn, so I placed my DP's out of line of sight from his really nasty walkers, but they he just redeployed them.
He had destroyed 1 of my demon princes and left 1 at 1 W by the end of his shooting.
How could I have countered that? Also, it didn't help that I got 0 spells off on my turn. =/
Terrain is very important for that style of nonsense. And it will be gone in a few weeks hehe - with a new codex coming for Eldar.
Really just plan for it and hide out - and if you have to you can go to ground with the mc to protect and not give up first blood if need be.
But it is a hard one and expect it from a lot of armies.
