1st Warriors of Chaos 2k

Hey guys,

Don't see Fantasy getting the same amount of love here, so hope to change that.

Am putting together a list for a league we are going to be having and thinking of the following.



Warriors of Chaos 2k Army List

Lords and Heroes
Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Disc of Tzeentch
Level 4 Wizard, Mark of Tzeentch, Infernal Puppet, Talisman of Preservation, Charmed Shield, Third Eye of Tzeentch, Bloodcurdling Roar, Biting Blade
- 445 pts

Exalted Hero BSB on Daemonic Mount
Mark of Tzeentch, Talisman of Endurance, Dragonhelm, Halberd
- 239 pts

Core
16 Chaos Warriors
Mark of Tzeentch, Musician, Standard Bearer, Standard of Discipline, Hand weapons and Shields
- 309 pts

- 294 pts

15 Chaos Marauders

- 70 pts

15 Chaos Marauders
Mark of Slaanesh
- 70 pts

5 Chaos Warhounds
- 30 pts

5 Chaos Warhounds
- 30 pts

9 Chaos Knights
Mark of Tzeentch, Standard Bearer, Blasted Standard
- 440 pts

3 Dragon Ogres
Great weapons
- 231 pts

Dragon Ogre Shaggoth
Great weapon
- 285 pts

Total: 1998 pts

The idea is for the Sorc Lord to fly around taking out targets of opportunity and maybe warmachine hunting.

Exalted Hero will go with the anvil unit of knights. Will use Dragon Ogres and Shaggoth as the hammer units on the flanks, protected by the hounds and Slaaneshi marauders (ItP).

Warriors will anchor the centerfield.

Comment and feedback welcome.

It is a good list, until I saw the Marauders have Mark of Slaanesh. I dont know what the Mark of Slaanesh give, but I assume it would be Immune to Psychology. Okaylah tu, just not into the themed lah since everything else were Tzeetch

The Warrior block are too small I think. How have they perform so far?

That Dragon ogre Shaggoth are damn expensive. Is he good?

Thanks for the comments LordAK.

Come to think of it, I will probably combine both blocks of Tzeentch Warriors into a horde.

The Slaaneshi marauders are for flank support ItP ensures that they can stay in the battle. For fluff, I may change them to Tzeentch mark, not that the 6+ Ward does much.

Shaggoth will basically be a fire magnet (I hope) and keep the missile fire off my knights. I just like the thought of a huge gribbly monster going up one of the flanks and making my opponent piss his pants. I could always swap him for a Hellcannon though, you think?

The only unit I'm actually undecided on is the Dragon Ogres. I may swap them with Chaos Trolls. Firstly the GW models are shite. If I field them I'm going to have to convert some, probably using lizardmen cold ones and black orc or irongut torsos.

I've actually converted the plastic river troll kit into a set of Chaos Trolls so I may use that instead and dump the points saved into more warriors / marauders.

After playing a few WHF games, I can safely say that Horde formation is how you'll have to mold your army nowadays.
Multiple Small Units(MSU) is ok but they don't last long.
A single Ogre Shaggoth for 285pts is a bad choice. Fluff wise ok but in Challenges and tourneys, it's a big 'no'.

Maybe you should try out your list against some of our cheesy players before you finalize your list.

Yeah, thanks for the input Doc.

Have revised my list as follows:

Lords and Heroes
Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Disc of Tzeentch
Level 4 Wizard, Mark of Tzeentch, Infernal Puppet, Talisman of Preservation, Charmed Shield, Third Eye of Tzeentch, Bloodcurdling Roar, Biting Blade
- 445 pts

Exalted Hero BSB on Daemonic Mount
Mark of Tzeentch, Talisman of Endurance, Dragonhelm, Halberd
- 239 pts

Chaos Sorceror
Level 2 Wizard, Mark of Tzeentch, Dispel Scroll
- 165 pts

Core
30 Chaos Warriors
Mark of Tzeentch, Full Command, Standard of Discipline, Hand weapons and Shields
- 545 pts

15 Chaos Marauders
Mark of Slaanesh
- 70 pts

15 Chaos Marauders
Mark of Slaanesh
- 70 pts

5 Chaos Warhounds
- 30 pts

5 Chaos Warhounds
- 30 pts

10 Chaos Knights
Mark of Tzeentch, Full Command, Blasted Standard
- 510 pts

3 Chaos Trolls
- 135 pts

Hellcannon of Chaos
- 205 pts

Total: 1999 pts

The new list gives me an extra caster and some ranged firepower. Tzeentch warrior block is now 3x10 horde and my knights will be 2x6 with the BSB on daemonic mount in front. (BSB+4 and 6 in back row).

I think Hellcannon would be better compares to Shaggoth. But the idea about a scary monster coming from the flank is also not bad at all

Yup.. the Warriors should be fielded in one huge blocks. Better staying power. And I think the Marauders should do the same too.

The river trolls.. are fine kit. I really like them.

Slaanesh marauders are good. They are not immune to psy. They are immune to panic, fear and terror. So they can still perform hit and run tactic, fleeing upon a charge from enemies then to auto rally next turn to harass the flanks.

Ooh.. very nice. Last time was ItP so cannot perform tactical withdraw. Now MoS is better lah.

Yup, what Dr Doom said..

Hellcannon....Hell yeah.....now you are talking.

I actually love fantasy... but we always lack full time players

I love fantasy too, in fact I started this hobby with a fantasy army.
My Ogre Kingdom campaign list will be posted soon.

I was playing WFB when the 6th came in and cut short everything. My Dark Elves need some loving

Padios.. If you drop by KL, tell me so we can fight.

I play all the pointy ears. Dark Elves, Wood Elves and recently acquired High Elves when Isle of Blood came out.

Waah.. you really like them elves huh. My last fantasy game was a week before 6th ed came out. It was against the Elves of Ulthuan. My DE taught them the errors of their way that day hahaha..
