1500 8th ed starter; First attempt at fantasy

Hello all, New here but been wandering around other forums for a bit before and then stumbled across here. Been returning regularly since and decided that it was finally time to register and make my first post.

Basically up until this point I have always been a 40k player but I have finally fallen victim to chaos and decided to make a start with them for 8th ed (bunch of my friends are also starting so this helped make my decision)

Anyway after all that ramblng may as well get to the point. Been looking at what everyone has been saying online about the changes for 8th as well and seen what kind of list people are producing then went off to have a look at the models that I like and ended up with the following list. Not too happy with some parts of it but that's why i'm here. Was going far a general tzeentch theme. Happy to take any feedback

1486

Sorceror
lvl2, MoT, golden eye of tzeentch, power familiar

Exalted
bsb, helm of many eyes, glaive of putrefaction

12 warriors
hw/s MoT, musician, standard

12 warriors
halberd, shield, musician, standard
(shield included simply for modeling purposes, if anyone has any good convertion ideas for the halberds i'm open to hearing them)

30 marauders
light armour, shields, MoT

5 warhounds

5 warhounds

5 knights

(kind of happy with it up till this point)

chariot

2 spawn

My basic plan was to pick up the battalion, an extra box of warriors and marauders and then work on some convertions for the heroes, Beyond that I wasn't 100% sure.

Anyway, as I said, any suggestions and feedback are more than welcome

The lances from the Knight kit are popular.

Yeah, thats what I have come across and was planning to use but I wasn't too sure how i was going to model the second arm without sticking a shield on it. Thats the problem that I am having. With the shield arms they do look rather nice but it will just be annoying having to pay for something that I will get no use from in the end

Its 1 point for an additional +1 AS against shooting, which warrior units attract in spades it seems. I think Halberd/shield is probably worth it even though you can no longer use them in combat.

ok, definitely worth it then. Think that I must have got the wrong end of the stick in what I have read online because I was under the impression that the shield no longer gave any bonus to armor save, only the parry bonus in close combat. With that not the case then they will definitely stay in.

What are the thoughts on the list in general? Do people think that it looks a reasonable starting point to develop from?
