Nactigal Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I really love the tzaangor models and just picked up a batch of them. Both Tzeentch and BoC seem cool, but in which one would a primarialy tzaangor army work better in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choombatta Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 They work well in both to be honest. Mainly, would you rather have access to Destiny Dice or the Herdstone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Beasts of Chaos also has ambush. Tzeentch also has other arcanite heroes that can activate the tzaangor bonus (in BoC lists, shamans need to babysit tzaangors, enlightened and skyfires whereas Tzeentch lists can relieve that pressure).

themortalgod Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Both are certainly powerful options. I think it just comes down to playstyles you prefer. The way I see it is that Beasts of Chaos gives you a faster hitting army that is tougher. (and has access to battleline chaff) Tzeentch gives you access to better battalions and more reliability. You also can bring far more ranged threat and imo a better summoning mechanic. I think regardless of what you do, though, make sure to run a Great Bray Shaman or two (because he is cheap and his spell is AMAZING, not to mention that bubble of +3" to move is beautiful) as well as the bull endless spell. I would also add in that DoT now involves a lot more work during the game. Keeping track of Destiny Dice, Command Points, Blue Horror Points, Brimstone Horror Points, and Fate Points can be daunting during a game. You can avoid some of it by just never summoning horrors but its still well above average in terms of mental upkeep from turn to turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamina Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 i think BoC would be better, as you can use Tzaangors for summoning purposes (cheapest and solid option is enlightened on foot) without additional expensive boxes of various demons. Also you have plenty of spare parts like heads and weapons for BoC conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the strongest point: just look which model collection you rather like. But if you want to go pure Tzaangors - you can simply run both rules sets depending on your mood. Personally I'm thinking about a Tzeentch themed BoC army based on Tzaangors but with some Bullgors too. I think that the chaos spawn theme of BoC (don't know the name) is a suitable Tzeentch theme.

Nactigal Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks for the responses everyone! I think I'll be running BoC. As @Pandamina pointed out, the tzaangor box gives tons of converstion opportunities for other beastmen units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus The Blue Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Also, it'd be awesome to convert some of the larger Beasts of Chaos units to Tzeentch version. Tzaan-itors anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
