Some quick notes (I don’t know swedish comp).
The stone mantle is good for low point games for a daemonsmith, to help survive the sorceres curse on miscast (because a daemonsmith will often be the general). I wouldn’t bring it to a bsb, a ward save would be way better for these guys. They might end up in challenges (to keep the bsb re-roll), so it’s important for him to survive.
I don’t find fireglaives deliver well enough for 5 points a piece. I use the in small units, to protect a daemonsmith helping warmachines. With 10 of 11 shots they can take out eagles, fast cavalry etc. And they can help in close combat making a flank charge for support.
Sword n board is so much cheaper, and the parry save will keep them in the game far longer. And with s4 and razor banner they still do a lot of damage.
K’daai fireborn are great against some armies - very bad against others. I love the miniatures however and I like to bring them. But always in a minimum of 6 and a perhaps 8. The unstable rule really forces them to win and hit the right target. With 6, you’ll have a lot of support attacks and a rank bonus. Especially the rank bonus can be the game changer for these goes.
For my warmachine guarding daemonsmith I always go lore of fire. Because the fireball will let the daemonsmith deal out damage becauseeven though he is very far back on the battlefield. Lore of Death is powerfull but has very limited range.
An always find room for the Ironcurse Icon!
