Hey I'm new to Chaos Mortals or Warriors, I've played many others but always wanted to play this race and now I am. Which dex do you use the one that is online in GW or the Book codex? I don't know what to use.

Hello and welcome to COTEC.

Right now the only tournament legal list for mortals is the list as it is published in White Dwarf #342. Games Workshop has also published this list on their website and can be found here:

edit: Oh, and if you want to start then I suggest you get some Marauders on foot and Warriors since they won't get new models when the book arrives.

Well you need to use it if you plan on attending tournaments.
If you only play with your friends you can agree on continuing using the old book until the new book arrives.

But I suggest using the WD list. It prepares you for the upcoming book while using the old book will only frustrate you when the new book arrives ;-)

Btw. Kormak, are we the only ones who are even remotely active on this forum?

I still post, but I am more like a lurker than anything else. :P

I'd suggest you using the White Dwarf list as well. All the units in it are said to return in the new book so you won't have to buy units that you cannot use in the army when November comes. And I have myself started to slightly enjoy the new White Dwarf list even though it is such a lazy piece of...

That's it really, though just know that the new book, though all the WD units will be returning, the book is nothing like the WD list.

I'd advise you to get a box of Warriors and take your time assembling them and painting them up, make 'em look real nice, and then get the new book when it's out in October in the Spearhead, giving you a great start to your army.

Well I was trading some miniatures hopefully to someone and they give me this:
34 warriors
10 knights
16 marauders
6 warhounds
5 marauder horsemen
2 chaos spawn
1 mounted hero
2 converted snake heroes
1 sorcerer
1 lord on disc

I really want these minis! Also wanted soooo bad to get a giant today but couldn't :angry: So what should I get after I get this?

Sorry, I just woke up from a nap. So I guess I'll post now...

I've been using the HoC book with friendly games. Hate the thought of my precious Furies leaving so I'm squeezing in as many games as I can now before they go away.

Not a major tourney player, or at least not recently.

The list of models you're (getting? have already received?) sounds amazing. You should have quite a few core units there already. Actually it sounds like everything there should be legal in our new list. Very excited about it.

Yea I am soo much! Just painting them might be harder then playing them don't know what to paint them after. Thinking about my WAR guild gotta figure out the colors 1st lol. What else should I get after this? I'm getting a giant always wanted one! More Warriors? Marauders? Also I got Hairy the Hammer conversion and he can be a Champion, cause I like playing magic army lists.

Honestly, I'd recommend waiting another couple of months and seeing everything the book has to offer and possibly GW has something else hidden up the sleeve too...

With the Warriors, you have enough to create 2 units, you've got your marauders... so there's your 3 core units.

You've got some knights, hounds, horsemen, spawn, and characters... I'm always a fan of a few more hounds to be screeners, especially depending on any marks you use. But we've only seen the new horsemen. I'm dying to see the new Chosen and new Knights... If you want a few more characters, the Spearhead might be an option for you

Man I hope they redo the Dragon Ogres... just not a fan of those models. I'm also curious about the new plastic chariot...

First of all welcome to the site!

I would suggest jut like Logan said, to wait a few months before deciding on what to get & how to paint it, the armybook might be very different from the WD list.

Bummer. Just can't get into the ones out right now.

I hate that I even have to advise waiting... I really am getting ready for all the new stuff. Cleaned up my painting area, reminded friends and relatives that birthday and Holiday gifts only need to be gift certificates to my local games store :)

Gonna be a great winter.
