After long, LONG intervention from the people at the GW forums, I have browsed through countless great ideas, to come up with this boring shitty army list which is the only one people will accept. Enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An 'Archaon's Horde' army from 'Storm of Chaos'

Heroes

Haggiroth the Slaughterer - Chaos Exalted Champion
Hand Weapon, Chaos Armour, Mark of Chaos Undivided.
100 Pts

The Arbiter - Chaos Sorcerer
Hand Weapon, Chaos Armour, Mark of Chaos Undivided, Level 1 Wizard of Lore of Fire.
85 Pts


Core

16 Chaos Warriors
2 Hand Weapons, FREE Full Command.
272 Pts

16 Chaos Warriors
2 Hand Weapons, FREE Full Command.
272 Pts

16 Chaos Warriors
2 Hand Weapons, FREE Full Command
272 Pts


Special

None

Rare

None

Total - 1001 Pts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tactics are simple. Charge the fuck out of the enemy. After all, there is nothing to use any inventive tactic with. And as this is an 'Archaon's Horde' army, I get free command for all units of 15+ Chaos Warriors.

Yeah really. I suggest you make a 2k army where the Arbiter is an exalted sorceror and Haggiroth is an exalted champion. Then make it interesting.

Well that was one boring list that I cannot believe would actually work....
I would definitely make some changes for that list. Consider this:
Drop one unit of warriors (-272)

Add a unit of marauder horsemen w. flails & musician. (81)
Add a chariot of chaos (120)
Add a unit of 5 chaos hounds (30)
Add a magiclevel for the sorcerer (35)
Give the exalted champion a halberd & a shield (6), remember to use the correct weapon when in closecombat, depending on what your fighting.

Total: +/-0

Makes the list alot more versatile, you can now have a screen for your warriors if needed. You can get flank attacks from the hounds & horsemen. The chariot is almost as good as a unit of warriors would be in combat (if it gets to charge that is). The magic will work better & the exalted champion survives better with a shield, & the halberd is great vs high toughness low Strength (read orcs & beastmen) troops...

I wonder if the list was perhaps meant to be boring :P
His post seemed like it.

That really was a boring list, snyggejygges changes did make the list a bit more tactical and fun to play with. Donīt know if any other changes could be made, but you didnīt mention if you wanted any changes or what kind of playingstyle you have, but charging with this army will be quite hard.

Maybe I didn't say it properly. After coming up with countless ideas to use Flayerkin, warhounds, marauders, even screamers.... They wiped their asses with it. So this seems to be the only thing they accepted. So yeah.

Then the problem might be in opponents that are afraid of fighting a army that can present some form of threat or change tactics and follow the change of the battle?

If your army was the only one they would accept then it sounds like they are pretty scared of you Haggiroth and Archaon's Horde list. I could be wrong.

Who honestly cares what other people think. IF you like something DO IT. I get told that Plaguebearers are a waste of points. But i use them because i like them. Same with a full command with marauder horsemen. They may be a waste of time but i fell they 'complete' the unit.

Is this the best list the guyīs on the GW forums could recommend, or was it your friends?

As said before this armylist sucks against anything (well maybe not against an offensive dwarf army, or a VC army with only zombies & skellies)!

And GW Forums are known for formidable opponents. Right, that is a new one. I would not listen to must of the guys on a GW Forum would say. I have used Archaons Horde with great success, the greatest weakness it has is movement.

Post your ideas here Haggiroth, many of us can help you.

I would have to admit that this and herdstone are the most helpful sites I have ever been on.

And God knows I need it :D

Thanks guys. I would post my ideas but I threw that forum away after being shitted at. It had stuff like this:

Haggiroth with everything except aspring with enchanted shield

Sorceror with everything as normal

3 regiments of 12 chaos warriors with shields

2 regiments of 5 flayerkin

1 regiment of 10 besiegers (DoW)

I mis-calculated it and everything. Not worth thinking about.
