santiel Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 So, i realized that i have loads of old chaos warriors and Knights from around 2003 laying around. So i thought that id bring them back to life. We mostly play around 1000p so my question is, does this list work or what tweaks can i do to make it work. Im thinking about using the Slaanesh mark mostly for the run/charge but i love the options when you play StD. Here is what i have: 1 Chaos Lord - Lord of War - Chaos Talisman -Mark of Slaanesh 1 Chaos Sorcerer Lord 20 Chaos Warriors -Mark of Slaanesh 10 Chaos Knights -Mark of Slaanesh 1000/1000 Points Is there a better route to go? should i split my warriors? Need advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kozokus Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hello. Some things to consider : -Split warriors and knights in two units. You will loose the bonus of fielding warriors by 20 quite fast anyway and you will gain a better movement. -Consider switching your mark of Slaanesh for Tzeentch where the benefits are immense for you or Khorne (in which case you will have to find a replacement for the sorcerer). The Tzeentch mark will give you a nice range of spells, artifacts and the famous destiny dices. Slaanesh gives you nothing (for the moment). This is a very nice start for an age of Sigmar army, but you will quickly find that the Slave to Darkness rooster is full of resistant models with nice ward save and immunity from spells but gives you nothing in terms of firepower compared to other army. Chaos Warriors and Knights hits like a pillow. What i recommand is giving us what you have in your collection so we can point what should be included in you list to balance things a little bit. There are things like the Apocalypse canon that can help you a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually funny that you say that because i was looking into Tzeentch and thought of this list instead: Chaos Lord on Demonic Mount Chaos Sorcerer Lord 10x2 Chaos Warriors with Mark of Tzeentch (Battleline) Chaos Warshrine with Mark of Tzeenth 5 x Chaos Chosen 1000/1000p Does this look like a more potent list or is it just way to few models for a 1k battle? I felt like it could give me good support but still have some beefy guys out there. I own about 40 Chaos Warriors and 15 Chaos Knights. Or at least that's is what i have found so far. Buying stuff is not an issue so just hit me up with whatever would be a good path to follow. I have been looking to build this towards Fatesworn Warband for 2k points. Can i take part of the spells from the spells in the Tzeentch book or whats the requirements there? I havn't really had time to look into the synnergies there other than what you get from the mark.

Titus Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hello there, i am an old player of Chaos, so now i am also playing StD For me, a must have in this army, is the lord on Manticore, his command ability is almost mandatory if you play a lot of warriors. The kit is also very simple and you can make also a Wizard on manticore (don't glue the rider on the mount, then you can switch between the 2 versions) Moreover, convert yourself a Battle standart banner, the effect of the banner are very interesting for a low price (80 points only, you can reroll 1 or 2 dices for the charges distance and gives you +2 to your bravery, range 20 inches!!). This banner saves my ass a couple of time!! Chaos chosen also very good unit but you need at least 10 to do something useful. I hope this message will help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this message will help you Thank you for your input! as for now this is one of hundreds of lists im playing with: Chaos Lord On Manticore (300) - General - Command Trait : Illusionist - Blade & Runeshield - Artefact : Paradoxical Shield - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch Chaos Sorcerer Lord (140) - Runestaff - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch - Lore of Fate : Bolt of Tzeentch Units 10 x Chaos Warriors (180) -Greatblade - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch 10 x Chaos Warriors (180) -Greatblade - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch 5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (100) -Javelin & Shield - Damned Icon - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch 5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (100) -Javelin & Shield - Damned Icon - Mark of Chaos : Tzeentch Is the list to thin? I find Lord on Manticore to be hard to fit in to a 1000p list but this might work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yes maybe that 1000 is too short for a manticore. Maybe replace it by a lord on foot and an Exalted hero with banner. With the point you saved you can maybe add 10 warriors to a unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
