Do You See That, Fellow Chaos <Followers> ? Captain of Wales is running it in the upcoming Worlds

Anything that starts with "Chaos...someting" => drop it (save it for our next v3 BT next Winter)

Be'lakor dies, always, they always focus him, even if he's weak as hell. He's a level 2 sorcerer with The Dark Master Ability and that's it. 14 hp, 4+ etheral save, he can tank one weak attack maybe, as long as there aren't some mortal wounds around. Be'lakor vs Morathi => Be'lakor nuggets Be'lakor vs Maw-Krusha => Be'lakor wings Be'lakor vs Kragnos => Be'lakor kebab If you want him to live more the 1 round => Despoiler him behind a pitch-black terrain or go play his Legion of The First Prince. What Be'lakor is good for : Preventing the enemy from succeeding tactics, locusing some death stars, getting all the aggro, finishing some half dead battlelines, throwing some spells or endless spells, snitching objectives. If you plan on 1v1ing some big guys (or snake-females), Archaon will be more than pleased to take his stand You got it bro

You are a customer => you complain => you get better service (or not) You are a customer => you cope => they're more than happy to keep on selling you the same meal you dislike (Slaangors ?) But yeah, you're right, last 100 tournaments we had like 2 scoring lists with 1/4 Beasts of Chaos shooting units (praise the BoC) There is room for improvement indeed, remember how we went back in 2019-2020 (before the 2nd BT) ? The locusing, the rampaging, the summoning, the customizing, the Fun ! Were we owing the meta like the Sons of Behemat, Seraphons, Lumineths, Idoneths, Stormdrakes, Maw Krushas ? I guess not, we were just A-ranking just like the others. Are we seeing any HoS in the Worlds since 2020 ? And for those who are coping with the "our summoning was too stronk", just try to play against a 2000+500 pts Flesh-Eater Courts or multi pinks Legion of the First Prince, or any Nurgle, or Soulblight zombies, or Stellar Seraphon, etc. There are armies with summoning and they aren't getting the same treatement as we do since the last 5 nerfs. Is GW keeping on ranking us, Hedonites of Slaanesh, The Meme-Tier BT ?

Could go for 2 drops (Archaon + the rest of the army, cause 2 commanders) indeed, don't know if it was the biggest game changer Be'lakor is indeed a Daemon Prince for the 5+ ward, but not Archaon. But since the MVP here is the "Aoe /2 run & charge MASTER", better give it to him. Because you don't want him to get ez wiped thanks to a random spell or aoe, since he's constantly hiding in the pitch-black shadows. Running two monsters is a welcoming chance to do some Ferocious Advance with 3 monsters thanks to Metamorphosed DP. Spinter Fangs went good with their MW on 6 + reroll 1s (praise Khorne), since doing damage is our biggest weakness in STDs. Varanguards are always nice with Archaon, doing MW on 6 too, tanky with their 3+ => 2+ save reroll 1s (Tzeentch). Be'lakor is The Show Stopper, as always, you can easily cancel a Ferocious Advance or other tactics with his Dark Mastering, and he's aggroing so much attention from your opponents, giving Archaon some welcoming space. Archaon is still The Man, if only I were more lucky with the Slayer of Kings (not a single proc), could have done much better. Still, I did 2-1 with this list, got a Sylvaneth and a Lumineth ! (praise the STD DP aoe + pitch-black), I've just lost against a damn FEC with his 500 summoning bats on Power in Numbers map (worst of all). The only thing that did nothing was, you name it, the Horrorghast, too bad I couldn't run a Mindstealer Sphiranx for the -2 bravery combo (damn that Archaon point increase), I will trade it for an Emerald Lifeswarm for even more healing next time.

Yeah, just a few points drops away

Yeah, Blissbarb Archers going 170 to 165 and KoS 420 to 415 Mark my words

Guyz, we have a Tzeentch intruder here

What do you think of this list guys ?

This WD...

Chaos Dwarves !

Indeed but still Archaon, Daemon Prince, Chaos alors and then What ?

Now they are good with KRAIGNOS
