I don't know if this topic has been up before since the new book, but what is the smallest 2000 point army you can make? In 6th ed it was 5 models (Tzeentch lord on dragon, shaggoth, 3 chariots, two of them with exalteds in them).

Without core chariots that's not possible anymore, here's my take on it.

I do not think that you can get the model count even lower.

It actually can get smaller, but will lose it's effectiveness I'm afraid... Or well, maby not that much, it would be a speedy army. This army looks intresting at least.

It could only get one models smaller, the core can not get smaller than 9 right now.

Well, from my count, there are only 13 models in this army
1 Lord
2 Heros
9 Core
1 Rare

That looks like 13 to me...And I think that that's 13 in most countries. :P

As far as making a smaller army...I don't think that it can be done. The Core choices have to stay, obviously. Since the core have to remain the same you have to keep Throgg or else your trolls are no longer core. So there's 10 models. And as far as replacing the other 2 characters and the Shaggoth, well, I think that anyone would be hard pressed to make the Lord any more points as he's already maxed out on gifts and magic items. There aren't even any special characters that cost more than the lord that's listed here. Also, the Exalted and the Shaggoth are really large point sinks so trying to replace the 2 of them w/ a single model that's not a Lord just isn't going to happen.

You're right, stupid Armybuilder counts the dragon as a separate model. :rolleyes:
