WoC/Chosen/Knights

Hi

In my games so far with 8th ed I have been leaning towards 2 units of MoC (anvil unit with HWS for mage bunker and hammer unit horde GW and MoK). The MoC I am pretty clear on these. I am less clear on what to do with WoC/Chosen/Knights.

If I was playing a bigger game, (3k points+) I would be looking to field 2 units of WoC and 1 apiece of Chosen/Knights. This is what i am considering taking:

1) 19 WoC with MoT, HWS, Rapturous standard

2) 18 WoC with MoK, Halberd & Shield, Razor Banner

3) 18 Chosen with MoT, Halberds, Wailing Banner

4) 6 Knights with Mok, Ensorcelled weapons, Blasted Standard

(The BSB sits with the WoC with HWS. I do have the option of another magic banner there but most people seem to take other magic items).

I would like to take the Banner of Eternal Flame- it seems so cheap that difficult to leave behind. Should I take instead of Razor Banner on WoC with halberds?

Should I change anything else?

Thanks

James

I take it by the lack of comments that everyone agrees with my choice of banners and that I have put them on the correct units.

Cheers

Warriors with halberds don't need the razor banner, better to give them either the banner of flame or banner of rage.

Razor banner works better with HWS warriors to up their damage output.

I like blasted std with knights but synergises better with mark of tzeentch. Same banner also works on tzeentch warriors though.

Plenty of possible combo's, just pick what you like most and suits the purpose of the unit.

Thanks GD for feedback.

Happy to put BoEF on WoC with MoK and Halberds.

The plan with the WoC with HWS and Rapturous Standard was to have a good solid anvil unit. This is normally where my BSB sits. And having been broken in my last game I was looking for increased durability to anchor my battleine so the other units benefit for longer from BSB re-roll. Was thinking that would keepmy hammer units around for longer.

Does that make sense?

Cheers

James
