The Cohort of Bloodied Brass: Thoughts on Chaos Marauders.
As described in previous posts that when I started collecting my blades of Khorne army I raided my bits box’s and found parts to build a regiment of 40 Marauders.
I have been using them in practice games in the run up to the league and I have decided that they are a hidden gem for Khornate players.
The following is my rational for them:
- They are the cheapest massive regiment available as a battleline choice.
- When supported with a Bloodsecrator they have 1 less attack that Bloodreavers, but a better save.
- Because of the smaller base size compared to reavers it is more likely to be able to get more models into combat.
- Because of the ‘Barbarian Hordes’ Ability it is likely that the marauders will hit and wound more.
So because of that I think a block of 40 Marauders should be a battleline unit of choice for blades of Khorne Army’s. In my practice games they have provided a wall of bodies that have secured the center of the table absorbing the enemy’s attacks. They have done this for a minimal investment freeing up points for more exciting units.
I have also tested running this Unit as the focus of my army, supporting the block with a Bloodsecrator, Aspiring Deathbringer and an Allied chaos Sorcerer Lord. This gave the unit +2 Attacks, +1 Amour Save, (Re-Rolling 1s ). This squad was putting out 60+ wounds a turn, and for a cheaper price than 20 bloodleters.
As always feedback is more than welcome!
