Axebringer Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hello to everyone, you lovely people! I was a WFB player a lot of time ago (6th and 7th edition of the game), my Warriors of Chaos were all covered in dust for a while... So, with the new edition of AoS coming out I was thinking - why not give a chance to this game? I tried the Skirmish version of the game a couple of times. It wasn't bad ? My models: - 1x Exalted Champion of Chaos (the limited one from Gamesday 2009) - 1x Chaos Sorcerer - 5x Chaos Knights - 16x Marauders (Flails and shields) - 15x Chaos Warriors (Shields) - 2x Chaos Spawns I also have some some non-GW models, made by Avatars of War: - Lady of Wrath - Wasteland Warriors with Great Weapons (I plan to use those as Chaos Chosen) I was looking forward to buy some models from Khorne Bloodbound/Blades of Khorne subfaction just because I like how they look and I could always use them in my Slaves to Darkness army as allies. Since there is a new edition coming out really, REALLY soon I can imagine some things are going to change. Now I'm asking two things: 1 - So, what is the point of not having Chaos Marks on things? There is no more something like Mark of Chaos Undivided (and for some strange reason Spawns have the Tzeentch keyword ?). So, it would make sense to run an army with mixed Marks. Or there are other options for playing the good old Undivided? 2 - Is it a good idea to mix Blades of Khorne with Slaves to Darkness? From the competitive point of view. I'm not a competitive player, but I don't want to have an unplayable army ? Or maybe I should wait for more Darkoath models to be released. I always loved an idea of a faction of human barbarians but GW did something like that only with Crom during the Storm of Chaos campaign. A big hug to all of you guys and happy wargaming! ?

NemoVonUtopia Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 There is no reason to not have a mark. Marks only affect keywords so the only reason to mix marks would be if you like the command abilities or mark benefit of the heros. For example if you want a chaos lord on manticore to have a 3+ save but also want a chaos lord on foot to let a unit run and charge you could give the manticore mark of nurgle and the lord on foot and your units mark of slaanesh. The easiest thing to do would be give all your slaves to darkness units the mark of khorne so they become part of the blades of khorne so you get their allegiance ability, artifacts, and traits which will probably be better than slaves to darkness although that may change with the new generals handbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More infrantry or maybe something a bit faster? Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut, the Skullcannon and Mighty Skullcrushers? Slaughterpriest? His ability to "drag" enemy units seems pretty cool.

NemoVonUtopia Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Slaughterpriests are amazing especially with the extra prayers from the khorne allegiance, not only can they 'drag' or do damage they can also give +1 hit or save and unbind. I usually take 2 or more if I have the points. Wrathmongers are also an excellent unit that are good at neutralizing high damage enemy units. Bloodsacrators are an essential model for khorn armies.

Axebringer Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 How about something like this? 1000 points: Mighty Lord of Khorne (General) -Slaughterborn -Gorecleaver Slaughterpriest -The blood-forged armour -Killing Frenzy Bloodsecrator -Talisman of Burning Blood -Banner of Blood 5x Wrathmongers 15x Chaos Warriors -Mark of Khorne -Chaos Runeshields 20x Chaos Marauders -Mark of Khorne -Damned Icon -Flails & Shields 10x Bloodreavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I almost always find a way to fit knights in..... with a lord on steed the +1 to hit and re rolling charges is too good to pass up. Especially now with the new command ability rules. Give them glaives for the rend and double damage.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axebringer Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Let's see... ? 1k: Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut: -Slaughterborn -Gorecleaver Slaughterpriest -The Blood-forged Armour -Killing Frenzy Bloodsecrator -Talisman of Burning Blood -Banner of Blood 5x Wrathmongers 5x Chaos Knights -Mark of Khorne -Chaos Glaives 10x Chaos Warriors -Mark of Khorne -Chaos Runeshields 20x Chaos Marauders -Mark of Khorne -Damned Icon -Flails & Shields Faster and more killy. It should do pretty well on the table ? Happy wargaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoVonUtopia Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 As of now you only get one artifact since you don't have any warscroll battalions, you have three in your list. I think it will work the same in 2nd edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I will leave Gorecleaver and Slaughterborn on the Lord on Juggernaut and just take away the Blood-forged Armour from the Slaughterpriest and the Talisman of Burning Blood from the Bloodsecrator and I am good. Right? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axebringer Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Still got no occasion to try out proper Age of Sigmar rules but I keep playing with the skirmish ones. Here is my 50 points warband: Lord of Chaos (Lady of Wrath by Avatars of War) 2x Chosen (Wasteland Warriors of Wrath by Avatars of War) Chaos Knight 3x Chaos Warriors We used a homebrew method to get out points for units that are not covered in the skirmish book (yep, I know about the topic with all the points on this forum). I played yesterday against the Orcs. It was a draw! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
