Even before the new FAQ the jugger wasn't exactly amazing, I know what your saying Krayt, I actually tried this in 6th ed with the daemonic steed (when it was a multiple wound creature). I learned my lesson back then, things like this will just lose you games, the cool factor wears off very quickly, especially when you 250pts hero dying first turn from a cannon ball in the face. Basically in this list I may as well be using a 2k army.

I guess he will have to sit on the sideline until GW decide to do something to make them useable, I am actually hoping with the next book we get a unit of daemonic cavalry.

the next book I imagine would be years from now, we got a new one recently,

But would be nice if they made nice models useable :-)

OOOOPS, yup, sorry, should not be read as written :-)


My bad

Yeah, to be fair a lot of options got better with the new ed but there's still so many things in the WoC book that just aren't worth it. It used to be horsemen, dogs, knights and mages on discs ftw - now they've made hellcannons, shrines, chosen, warriors, marauders and characters on foot all worthwhile.

A lot of things are still pants though and yes, many of them are the best models in the range

@ mcpolle - I never said it would be a short wait, infact I have had trolls since 5th ed which I have never used because the rules didn't really justify it, I also have about 10k of just khorne stuff which I can't really use because you can't play pure khorne armies anymore. Thats the major problem with GW using its rules to sell models rather than just the models, like with the jugger hero, people are going to buy that no matter what and thus it dosn't need amazing rules, something like marauder however does need good rules.

@ ukko - Yeah I have to agree, chosen got 100 times better but is not wonder considering the price of models :(

Ob the brightside I do have a cool looking character on a horse so all is not lost and thankfully I have had to spend very little money to update my army, all the stuff I bought was off fleebay anyways and going to gamesday did give me a very cool new sorcerer model.

Of course with warhammer forge it very possible I will end up updating all the models in my army, again :(

I love chaos, always have always will,

And its very strange like you say from the last edition,which was all mounted, now goes to mainly all foot, always place for a unit of knights tho.

But it seems at the moment, the army will look alot like yours, have tried making others but cannot seem to make the cut.

So a group or two of warriors, a group of chosen, maybe a unit of knights, characters hellecannon shrine, and thats it.

not much really.

And any metal magician will have a field day.

So guess its just a question of how many of the above to take:-9

Thankfully all the models are so damn nice

Yeah well I am pretty much the same, chaos was my first proper army for warhammer and I have been collecting them since 4th ed, always loved them, always will. I do feel however whenever I use my chaos army I am playing with one arm tied behind my back :(

I think the only difference we can expect to see in other peoples armies are hellcannons, I am wondering if knights are even worth using, after playing a few games of 8th ed now I can see them just getting nuked by magic in a few turns.

I think I am going to have to make some major changes to the army list now, I think It will have to include a level 4 tzeentch wizard, I played some 750pts games and it just dominated the game. I really need to look into some decent magic defense for my main units.

Kormak how did you fit a level 4 tzeench caster lord in 750 points he's 13% over the 25% limit on lords or do you mean magic dominated those games in general.

Sorry I meant my army needs a wizard lord. I played some 750pt games that showed me that magic just totally dominated, against the lizardmen player that was about the only thing that actually caused any wounds (well against him it was 500pts),

Basically I had the joy of,

1 lvl2 skin
2 units of blow pipes
steggie

against me

lvl2 sorcerer (fire)
12 warriors of tzeentch
3 chaos trolls

it wasn't pretty :(

Sheesh a steggie in 500 points that's a bit extreme to face I would say.

I would rather swarm someone with skinks in 500 then bring a huge monster to stomp down on everything.

Well I have been told the games are now 750pts so I think next time I go down I will be taking my DE down and bringing a war Hydra, its either that or take Tzeentch down and hope to get gateway (equally as fun).

How about making a thread, where we try and make a decent 24/2500 point army..

And by that I mean a good tourney army???

You know what, I will start it off, and feel free to join in, see if we can make a halfway decent list.
