I have a bunch of Ironjawz to paint, so I'm going to have to resists building this list:

The idea is pretty clear:
- Utilize Dark Prophecy to guarantee the best turn orders for you
- Double-turn with Archaon and the Khorne Varanguard, destroying nearly anything they charge into with rerollable 2's to hit and wound, +1 damage, and the fight-twice ability (preferably putting the sorcerer's reroll save ability on Archaon, too, to keep him alive)
- Use the mob of warriors to sit on an important objective and tank+blender anything that gets close. Stick the sorcerer with them, too, to give the, the appropriate rerolls throughout the game
 

It's super CP reliant, so I think the Aetherquartz is the best bet for an artefact. Time will tell if this is even close to being viable, but it looks like a fun list (for me) that uses some of the best-looking models in the game.

I'm planning on trying out a similar list this weekend/next week.  Only difference is I am planning on going 20x marauders, 5x WoC and a Daemon Prince.  Archaon and Varanguard are Mark of Slaanesh because the exploding 6s are fantastic. Demon prince is mark of Khorne for the board control. 

Plan is to take Whispers of Chaos on Archaon and binding Damnation on Sorcerer, combined with the DP i will have pretty solid ability to control what the opponent can do with their units and better allow me to safely pick and choose units to destroy.

I noticed a lot of people on here mentioning getting knights from the SC box but correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the SC comes with Varanguard not knights.   Which would be interesting as Varanguard are almost the cost of an SC box themselves.
