Roger that. My understanding is that Chaos Warriors, regardless of mark, come from StD, and are battleline StD. Having the Tzeentch keyword just keeps them in line with getting Destiny Dice. I could be wrong though, and defer to someone who has better understanding of this. Also, if someone could cite the page or faq that clarifies this I would appreciate it. Edit: I know this is very rules lawyer, but here is my logic. Page 311 of the core rulebook states "Allied units are not included when working out the number of Battleline units in the army." On page 66 of the GHB, Chaos Warriors aren't listed as Battleline, under the Disciples of Tzeentch. Then on page 68 they are listed as Battleline under StD. Page 69 shows the allies charts, and Disciples of Tzeentch has StD listed as an ally, excluding mark of Nurgle. So I could take StD as mark of Khorne, Slaanesh, or Tzeentch and they would be allies. Based on this, I think they are allies, and can't count towards Battleline requirements.

It might just be me, but I find the "free summoning" for Tzeentch to be lackluster. I'm not trying to start a debate, I am just trying to enrich my playstyle and tactics. I'm also hoping someone can point out to me the playstyle that summoning works with. It might be my playstyle, but I don't find myself building lists that focus around the summoning. Having to have 10 fate points to bring in a unit of blue horrors isn't too bad, but they have a zone restriction when you summon them, so positioning for me isn't that exciting. I can use them for a bit of a screen, but that is by turn 2 at the earliest. I'm also not in favor of spending 200 points on pink horrors, and using them to work up the blue horror points. I feel like I am just giving up VPs if it comes down to kill points.

@Cambot1231 I didn't think you could ally in battleline units. Also, I think shield of fate is awesome, but just remember it degrades as you go through your destiny dice.

Hello all! I was wondering if I could get some feedback on a list. Chaos Sorcerer Lord - Glimpse the future Curseling - Arcane Suggestion Curseling - Shield of Fate Herald of Tzeentch - Unchecked Mutation Herald on Disc - Bolt of Tzeentch Kairic Acolytes x 10 - Blades and Shields Kairic Acolytes x 10 - Blades and Shields Tzaangors x 20 - Mutant, Savage Greatblade, Paired Savage Blades (8), Savage Blades and Shields (10) Flamers x 3 Flamer x 3 Chaos Chariot Chaos Knights (10) - Ensorcelled Weapons That is 2K on the nose. This is a lot different from what I usually run, because I don't think pink horrors are worth the points. My idea is to use the Chaos Knights, Chariot, and Tzaangors to do the bulk of the killing. I am going to use Shield of Fate of one of them (thinking the Knights), and Demonic Frenzy on the other. I would then put the Chaos Sorcerer Lord's ability on the unit with Shield of Fate. I think I can pretty reliably get at least 5 fate points a turn, and use those to drop in blue horrors as either speed bumps, or to work objectives. I am not playing in an uber competitive environment, but I would like to have a shot a winning. Any thoughts?
