I've played chaos for a year and my army is all over the place and i need to decide i'm afraid to bye anything else cause i need a theme of some sort first!!! i ended up with all this because i like to convert models and i just went crazy with it!!!! Here are the modles i already own.

-lord of khorne on deamonic mount (conversion)
-exalted champion on foot two hand weapon (conversion)
-soccerer barded steed
-lord of tzeentch on chaos dragon(BIG conversion)
-wargor with GW
-12 warriors of khorne with sheilds and full command
-12 warriors of tzeentch with sheilds and full command
-12 warriors of nurgle with sheilds and full command
-16 marauders with full command
-5 marauder horsemen with sheilds
-2 beast herds with full command, 2 hand weapons and 12G and 8U
-4 chaos ogers with full command and GW

I know i need more marauders but i basicly need advice on what god/gods my army should follow.


Please help my army and i could probley use some tacticle advice i only win about 25% of the time which is not a good average :(

Since you already have models of various gods, I'd say go with undivided.

What you should be getting next:

- A box of marauders. Units of 20-30 work best, so you'll need at least a second box.
- A chariot or two. Tuskgor or mortal, it's your call.
- Warhounds. These guys are great for screening and minimizing casualties from shooting. Go with the goblin wolfrider box set as opposed to the metal chaos hounds, you'll save over 20 dollars.
- Furies or screamers. Those warmachines won't hunt themselves!
- Knights! A unit of these will add some much needed punch, but you could make a decent infantry army so I haven't placed them high on the list.

As beaver said, it´s probably best to go w. undivided, in that way you can still use all your current models when you want to.

I´d advice you to buy some knights, some Furies & more marauders first.

I also agree. Knights are the most fearsome core troop in the game, bar none. Remember, if you are playing with friends and not in a tournament, you can just tell them what your warriors follow and are equipped with at the beginning (my friends and I play you tell them when you deploy, and if they ask since they aren't WYSIWYG then any time they ask again). Since models are so expensive, I haven't bought marauders because I have so many warriors and knights...(I just field the unpainted ones are marauders and ones without riders as horsemen =) ).

Otherwise, for tournament play do what sny and beaver say. They know what they are doing =-).

Personally I dislike marauders and would rather use beastmen they make better screens for my warriors. I also use Flesh hounds to screen my knights however I only play against dwarfs so dont have to worry about them being led around. Now before you guys say wow those are expensive screens, think about the benifits, immune to psycology so no leadership tests from shooting, they are tougher and can actually get some kills in cc against those tough warmachine crews.

Yeah but that only works against gun lines, & as you said, they´re very expensive compared to normal hounds (you want cheap screens).

Marauders & beastmen have 2 very different roles in a Chaos army, most of the time I prefer herds myself too, but in a footslogger list (which will be his first list considering no knights, only one unit of fast cavalry etc. etc.) they are very good to give him ranks & numbers quite cheap.

Thank you for the suggestions guys but I have one more question, should I repaint my tzeentch warriors and make them slannesh, or should I make them chosen or should I just keep them the way they are?

I've got candy......
personal preferance quite frankly ;)

my warriors are painted a blueish silver with warlock purple highlights kinda pinkish so they can go tzeentch or slaanesh :D I usually keep my warriors khornate though so yes I have pink and blue khornate warriors but hey they match the rest of the army :rock:

Yup, do you think you will use Slaanesh more often than Tzeentch, then do it, if not, then why bother, they can still be undivided as well....
