Would you mind explaining how this works? Seems to good to be true 😛

 

Not sure if this is maybe a joke because of the smiley but... few pages back.

Hi everyone I have been plotting away for a long time now in how I'n going to expand my Ravager army. Bounced between having allies such as some blightkings or followers of khorne, blobs of marauders using my cults as stand in.. but finally settled on an idea which gives me a good (I think) hammer/anvil look.

A lot of things are for aesthetic to make it look like a rambling horde of everything  but a part of me still always hopes that it will be playable and not a total disaster so any feedback or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. For example I'm so terrible at trying to do Battalions for some reason, but here is the list:

 

Allegiance: Slaves to Darkness
- Damned Legion: Ravagers
Mortal Realm: Chamon

Leaders
Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (250)     -  With the leaders and Sorceror I cant decide on gear and spells for now.
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne                                     
Ogroid Myrmidon (140)
- Mark of Chaos: Undivided
Chaos Sorcerer Lord (110)
- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle

Battleline
1 x Chaos Chariots (120)
- Greatblades
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
5 x Chaos Knights (180)
- Cursed Lance
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
10 x Chaos Warriors (200)
- Hand Weapon & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle

Units
3 x Varanguard (300)
- 3x Daemonforged Blades
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
24 x Iron Golems (210)
6 x Furies (100)
1 x Fomoroid Crusher (100)
8 x Cypher Lords (70)

Behemoths
Chaos Warshrine (170)
- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle

Endless Spells / Terrain / CPs
Darkfire Daemonrift (50)

Total: 2000 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 0
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 145
 

So plan is to have my "Castle" of Sorceror and Ogroid surronded by their cults, elite warriors and enslaved beasts pushing slow with the Warshrine. The Khorne aspect then of the mounted forces just push in as hard as they can. Thanks to being Ravagers I will have my two units of Marauder horsemen come in with javelins and start threatening lazy heroes or unguarded objectives. as well as the third rally call for some Spire Tyrants for flavour.

So thats the plan. Not too much to add to my to do list paint wise and look forward to it. Any advice before I fully commit will be great too. Cheers in advance! 

Overall I think the army will look great on the table. I don't have very many games under my belt so take this advice with that in mind. Chaos Warriors really want to be 15 strong not 10 from my limited experience. They will take a bit of a punch before losing their armor rerolls this way and you can save visions spell for other units. I would likely drop the Furies, since you mention the horsemen coming in to be a little bit of a mobile threat. The only easy and clean points to drop are Furies and Crusher.

I have been dancing around the new Slaves to Darkness starter box for a little while now.. But I am a little bummed by the fact that there are no full command crew for the Warriors and Knights  

Does anyone have good ideas on how to mod the new models to have commands?

 

They look sooo cool 😍 So might get them even without it being possible to fix.

They are pretty easy to convert. These were the two poses I chose but there are other ones too.

 

You could actually just use the guy with the skull on his head like I did and say he is the musician or bearer without even adding anything because none of the others have a helmet like that.

What's your thoughts on a block of marauders? As the pseudo "hammer" or would you rather keep your knights?

Definitely having a warshrine, cant wait to get one converted up.

Not been this motivated to get a table ready army despite Papa Nurgle blessing the world!

Running Marauders would likely make it stronger. Either for Knights OR Warriors.

The sword's regular mortal wounds on 6s is unmodified tho. But yeah D6 MW on a 5+ is tasty. I'll keep this in mind!

This is similar to a list I'm thinking of running because I like the Warriors & Knights, plus I can convert a big block of Marauders from my leftover BoK.

Minimal purchases required - apart from finding a suitable prince model.

My list is also kinda close to this. Note the quoted list is illegal because Godsworn battalion requires 4 units and they only have 3. I think my version is actual stronger if you drop the endless spells and upgrade one sorcerer into Be'lakor... but the endless spells are fun and for this list thematically I don't dig Be'lakor in my army.

Is this you color scheme for the whole army?

 

Outstanding! Totally stoked by it.

Yep, but only have 8 models painted. The Demon prince will have a little more color, and things like the knights will look like the warriors, but their horses will be colored, etc.

Follow the true chaos god!

Here's mine. I've played one game thus far and this has been a great resource for getting into AoS. So thanks forum!
