BEHEMOTHS

- Mark of Chaos : Khorne
ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS
Eightfold Doom-Sigil (40)
So, not a perfect list, but you guys all underestimate the warriors of chaos. They where nearly impossible to kill due the rerolling saves and the ocasional +1 save from the warshrine.
The list have errors, I should have put the nurgle mark on my second Daemon Prince, or not take a second DP at all. The 10 warriors with great weapons underperformed too, and the Eightfold Doom-Sigil only was useful in the last match.
However, the khorne command ability of the DP is utterly broken. The MVP of the game by far. Also, it was a good call to include the 6 furies. Having a fastmoving and flying unit, with the possibility to retire from combat has been pretty useful (the last match was the relocation orb, and I won that because of my furies chasing the objective while the rest of both armies were fighting at the center.
I'm not a pro player, but I thing STD is an army where having your units in good position matters a lot. Also, if you go heavy warriors, you can resist a lot (they receive a full squig rider charge, manglers included, and not only survived, but managed to lose only three models)
I dunno, I like this guys
Also, I recommend taking three wizards really, the STD spells are almost all good (although I won't take the Call to Glory anymore). Mask of Darkness can win games.
Cheers!
