Detective on the case: This was posted in the DoK thread. Not sure if it was the same Event but there is a 4-1 dok Player who lost in last round. So i guess the winning list played nurgle dp abuse. Just came 3rd in a 30 man event this weekend. Lost on table 1 round 5 to a slaves to darkness army that focused on disallowing me to do things using kairos, be'lakor, and a spell that prevents you from moving. Then he just stacked the nurgle daemon prince command ability a few times per turn on one of his 3 units of marauders (who thought that ability should stack?), teleported to whatever unit of mine he wanted to die, nearly autocharged (the only way to fail a 9 inch charge is to roll snake eyes. Again makes me ask who thought of this) and made my unit slap itself to death. Still, game was maybe the closest game I've ever had and I was a single chaos warrior away from winning the event. Other armies I played were a trogg based gloomspite force, beastclaw, berserker swarm and gotrek fyreslayers, and summoning seraphon. But fair warning to everyone out there- until that command ability is faq'd watch out for it! It's absolutely brutal. hallelujah, its been fixed! Also, please dont take this as whining. I had a great time and he was a good opponent. Just wanted to share this (unfortunate) discovery I've made. edit: jubilation for a slightly too late FAQ Edited Monday at 04:36 PM by Graywate

Yeah you are absolutely right about the chaos lord! If my opponent plays smart it will be hard to utilize its ability. The easy rerolls into exploding sixes makes sense, too. Thank you for your long and detailed answer, it really helped a lot with my own list building. Im a Slaanesh player, not by choice tho - my buddies bought me the starter for my birthday - their fault! I like every Chaos god tho so i will need to find another way for having some khorne action . Cheers

Are you sure that slaanesh mark is better than the Khorne Mark? even with the Marauders im not sure which one is better. With Khorne you are also able to ally an Bloodsecrator for extra attacks. A Chaos lord on foot might be a good idea, too. Just for the Archaon double pile in

What do you think about a Bloodsecrator as an ally for the +1 attack in 16 and the Chaos Lord on foot for the Double activation on archaon? Too slow maybe? you can also play archaon + 2×3 varanguard and some more Support in the slaanesh batallion as 1 drop. Thoughts?

Dont you guys think that a Chaos sorcerer Lord for Save rerolls with archaon should be Core? Also a Lord on foot for another archaon activation + a Bloodsecrator for the Deathball. smth like: archaon - khorne 2x3 varanguard - khorne bloodsecrator lord sorc lord leaves 260 for screen /obj grab a Lot of drops tho - thoughts? Also you Could 1drop archaon with the slaanesh batallion 2x3 varanguard 1 sorc Lord and 3x5 marauder horsemen
