Looks good, but as many others I would exchange the Lord for an Exalted champion. To be able to buy more troops.

I'l suggest trading the rending sword for something else, it's useless most times. Maybe just a sword of might?

If you expect your lord to be in alot of challenges or if you´re going to play against OK alot then keep the sword, otherwise a sword of might is better...

But Imo (as rogge has said aswell) I would try & use an exalted w. say sword of might, shield & Gaze as the general instead, & for the extra points I would buy another regiment of Chaos Hounds, aswell increase the number of models in each of your main combat units...

personaly id drop the rending sword and take helm of many eyes and a great weapon and stick him on a barded steed and keep gaze of the gods. Thats pretty much all he neededs.

Then again i dont see the need for a lord in a 2k game. I only use 1 character in my 2k games and hes only a exalted.

Much better but:
I believe that the best equipment for horsemen is shields and musician and at 81 pts they can really gain their pts. oh and try to squeeze another unit of them.
Ditch the horrors and take either screamers or furies.
Is the sorcerer lvl1 'cause if he is you have to upgrade him, ditch the bloody deamon, if you need a fighting sorcerer take a Tzeentch champion and give your knights the mark of Tzeentch.
Maybe 22 chosen warriors are a tad too much? never mind hust use them 6-wide.

Thats all folks.

you know you could prolly get 2 units of 15 warriors for the sanme price as that chosen unit. Also i find shield good on warriors, for normal warriors its a 3+ save in CC and for chosen its a 2+ save in cc, pretty good, as good as some armies heavy calavy ;)

I agree with Kormak, the additional handweapons could be halberds aswell as shields, which would probably be better... Arrange the chosen into a 6 model wide unit, to get as many attacks as possible, maybe skip 2 of them to get an extra knight or maybe a spawn to protect a flank, other than that it´s a solid list...

This is only my opinion but I'm still new to the game please forgive me if I'm making mistakes.. Lord is a fine with me. But to much chosen I think, if you againts CC army such as Ok, TK, VC or O&G it can work.

But againts army who heavy shooting and heavy magic, your chaos warrior will be like magnet to them. You need flyer unit like 4 Screamers or 6-7 furies will be fine too, so they can company your exalted daemon. Because my socerers often got shot with empire great canon... :rolleyes:

Now, thanks again for all the helpful advice, it's really gone a long way.

Just a few minor tinkers and this list should be comeplete.

Following snyggejygge, i've dropped 3 chaos warriors, freeing up 69 points plus the 5 extra from my list, giving me 74 points with which to by a spawn. Now the only question is, which mark do i give? Please, any pointers will be helpful, i am at the moment thinking slaanesh, but i'm not sure.


TO Rigor_Mortis: I thin i'm staying with the horrors, as they are good for drawing out dice and also their flamers are deceptively dangerous. Also, the sorceror is there to be the dispel scroll caddy and to draw out more dice with his spell. The Daemon is there to get behind enemy lines, deal with missle threat, cause teroor and cast spells behind them.

Thanks again,
Cromador

Slaanesh is for sure the best mark. But it also depends on what armies you´ll be facing, undivided is good as it is & mark of Khorne is good vs some tough opponents...

bloodbeasts are very nice, strength 5 spawn can cause some damage to light units.
