Need help with Archeon army

[AllanBallan]

I would like to be able to make a competative army using the following:

Archeon

One unit of 3xVaranguard

 

I could do any god for this army.

 

I have these two new in boxes for about a year, but I cant find a way to make a army around them, could you guys please help me?

 

Thank you in advance for all your replies!

Kind regards

/S

So..... I'm guessing there is no way of making a archeon competative army?

Perhaps I should just sell Archeon and the Varanguard then?

I think using them in a Tzeentch/Nurgle allegiance army with some spells/firepower would work, since they both have all 4 god keywords

Models I would love to paint, but know very little about!

The Varanguard do not appear to have the 4 keywords until they are given it in a hero phase, so I don't know that they count as Nurgle/Tzeentch, etc.  for the purposes of army building.  I am not an expert though.

I personally want to field a couple units because they can have different key words. For the last battalion, I would add 40 Marauders(Khorne).  That puts me at 1500 pts.

Because Archaon allows crazy use of command abilities, I'd fill the rest with leaders.  Korghos Khul, Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut, and Chaos Sorcerer Lord pique my interest.

I *think* this has to be a generic Chaos army, even though they could all be Khorne.

Yeah the smartest thing is probably to look at tzeench, nurgle or khorne alliegeance and choose one of those and then use the varanguard as allies. Khorne might have the most cheap characters with usable command abilitys.
