'Competitive' Disciples of Tzeentch


Drillz

Recommended Posts

So I think its about time we get one of these threads started for Newest army to AoS.

I want to build a good all arounder with the main body, a battalion, being Disciples of Tzeentch.

From what i have seen is so far

Daemons have great battalions, solid battle line with pink horrors, and great heroes.

Arcanites have freaking Tzaangors which are amazing in all their forms,  ok battalions, and the heroes are pretty solid.

So how about we work together and bring some Change to the mortal realms

I'm not a Tzeentch player, and my wife's Tzeentch book isn't in front of me atm.

But here's a start to this thread. (The Command Traits/Items are randomly picked, not sure which are powerful).

List 1: 1K Daemons

Allegiance: Tzeentch

Leaders
Herald Of Tzeentch On Burning Chariot (200)
- General
- Staff of Change
- Trait: Incorporeal Form - Tzeentch Daemon Hero
- Artefact: Pyrofyre Stave 
Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch (120)

Battleline
10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (140)
10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (140)

Units
10 x Blue Horrors Of Tzeentch (50)
6 x Tzaangor Skyfires (320)

Total: 970/2000

 

List 2: 1K Arcanites

Allegiance: Chaos

Leaders
Tzaangor Shaman (120)
- General
- Trait: Incorporeal Form - Tzeentch Daemon Hero
- Artefact: Souldraught 

Battleline
30 x Tzaangors (540)
- 3x Pair of Savage Blades

- 6x Savage Blade & Arcamote Shield
10 x Kairic Acolytes (140)

Units
3 x Tzaangor Skyfires (160)

Total: 960/2000

(Could make room for a Gaunt Summoner here, strong spell).

I feel that the 2k lists get to start adding more Skyfires, Lord of Change, and components to form the battalions.

I am toying around with the idea of building my collection around the cult of the transient form with a base built around a full 30 Tzaangors with two 20 acolyte units and a solid 6 Skyfyres to hangout with two Shaman.  The third of the arcanites cabal would be a magister to tag along the foot sluggers.  

I'm still caught up with the idea of a balewind vortex for the gaunt summoner on foot which just seemso awesome for 200 pts. What is everyone else's opinion of this?

@Drillz Thats not how it works Im afraid. Lord of Change in normal font is a Lord of Change, the unit. Lord of Change in bold is a keyword requirement. Just like the Horror Hero part of the same battalion means any unit with those Keywords.

In regards to the list itself. A lot of the scenarios are based on having more units near an objective then the opponent.  You've 30 models total. Less then some peoples single units. You could struggle to win those games.

My turn! Not sure how competitive this will be but it fits in all the stuff I want. Mainly a beefy unit of Tzaangors mixed with the awesomeness of daemon units. 

Fairly straightforward troll tactics. Swap what needs to be swapped and using the best debuff in the game to really mess with those hit buffed deathstar units. And on LoC built for melee while the other one shoots from the back.

@Soulshade you are right boss i just found it in the FAQ

Q: How do you determine what models and units make up a warscroll battalion? When is it based on a keyword and when is it a unit name?

A: When a warscroll battalion is referring to a keyword,it appears in Keyword Bold. Otherwise, it is referring to the name of a unit.

 

woot i get more horrors. The big thing that i wanted to do with the list is cast as many D6 mortal wound spells as possible back to the drawing board. Im getting the feeling i wont beable to field this battalion competitively.

I'm keeping an eye out here. I have The Silver Tower, and always had a love for Tzeentch (I played mono-Tzeentch WoC since 6E). I have some stuff I can splash in, like a LoC. I also doubled the Silver Tower baddies I had.

Has anyone looked into the competitiveness of mortals running fatesworn with tzeentch allegiance?

If you can make it small enough can you fit in skyfires+shaman?

 

To further this,  has anyone looked into taking tzeentch as chaos allegiance ? +1 on skyfires with shaman for +2 means d3 mortal wounds on a 4+...

Chaos allegiance only provides +1 in the combat phase so its pretty useless with Tzeentch (considering the potential of destiny dice).

I would rather use smaller units of pink horrors, as they give you the opportunitty to castillo more spells (combine them with a horror hero and a Lord of Change.

I had forgotten about that ability. Considering it that way it is a great idea to include skyfires in your chaos armies. 

I have already got six of them, and ir could be quite interesting yo combine them with my Bloodbound army for extra mortal wounds.

Thank you for unleashing the beast Terry.

Toying with this as a possibility going off what I own currently. Will give what seems to me as a mobile shooty force getting off a fair load of spells a turn.

Bear in mind I am fairly new to AoS so any CC is always welcome. :)

Any ideas to fill this list.

Does it need more magic, more bodies, better fighty stuff?

What about additional heroes for 3-places-of-power.
