Bjornas Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hey, long-time GW hobbyist who is looking to get back in with the General's Handbook being out. I haven't played a single game of AoS yet so this list is mainly based on models I have and/or that seem good. I understand there is a lot of emphasis on synergy in AoS, which I haven't really grasped yet and would love some feedback on. Anyway here's the list: 10 Chaos warriors - 180 10 Blood warriors - 200 3 Bloodcrushers with "axes" - 160 5 Knights with "lances" - 200 1 Slaughterpriest w/ Hackblade + “ball and chain” 100 1 Khorne Lord on Juggernaut (General) - 140 980 points. I'm not really sure about the Jugger Lord, partly because I don't have the model and dread getting another Finecast project or search Ebay for a metal one. His ability can reach most of the table though. If anyone has a better idea for a general I would love to hear it - maybe the Aspiring Deathbringer? I'm also not sure if I want the army to be more infantry or cavalry-based in the long run since now it's a bit of both. Khorne seems pretty infantry-based. Would love some feedback on the army and how it would play. Regards, Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADDriot Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've been impressed with my Juggerlord and, if you can get hold of a metal one on the cheap like I did, I would reccomend him. There are plenty of leader options that I haven't tried but his command ability has done some serious work for me when applied to Wrathmongers/Skull Reapers/Bloodwarriors.

BloodBeast Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I have a metal jugger lord but will probably convert in plastic. Are you running the vanilla Chaos Warriors because you already have the models? Id definitely lean more towards the Blood Warriors for punch.

The 24" range makes it seem especially useful. 2 hours ago, BloodBeast said: I have a metal jugger lord but will probably convert in plastic.

I've been considering converting him too, it's just the hassle of getting hold of one single plastic jugger nowadays. And yeah, it's because I already have the warriors. I'm equipping them with shields, assuming they can take some kind of defensive role in the army. The Blood warriors will have 2x axes. /Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your Blood Warriors have two axes aready, why not give the Chaos Warrior models your spare gorefists and convert up a goreglaive for the champion so you can call them Blood Warriors?

BloodBeast Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The arms on the blood warriors are about as thick as an old chaos warrior head. Might not work so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchief Varard Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Do you already own the knights if not maybe switch them out for more juggernauts if want cavalry or more bloodwarriors/bloodsecrator? Interested in what in your list your happy to cut and what units you like the look of etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean about the rules making them better, but I'm quite into the modelling aspects, and it would look outright silly On 2016-09-19 at 6:49 PM, BloodBeast said: The arms on the blood warriors are about as thick as an old chaos warrior head.

If I understood the game correctly he should syncronize with as much of the army as possible? Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
