So i leave for afghanastan soon and when I deploy I build an army to maintain my sanity. The next twelve months I've decided that my next army will be Tzeentch WoC. So heres what I got. Lord 395 Sorcerer Lord of Tzeench 385 LVL 4 Disc enchanted shield spell familiar Talismin of preservation Heroes 365 Festus the leechlord 185 Exalted hero 185 HWS bsb banner of swiftness sporific musk core 1219 30x marauders 220 full command mark of Tzeentch HWS 30x marauders 220 full command mark of Tzeentch HWS 18xWarriors of Chaos 378 Full Command Mark of Tzeentch HWS Blasted standard 18x Warriors of Chaos 401 Full Command Halberd and shield Mark of Nurgle Banner of Rage Special 120 chariot 120 Rare 150 warshrine 150 MoT total 2244 I know that its not all Tzeentch but thats what makes it fun. I want to find a way to fit the Hellcannon in there as it is one of my favorite models but I dont know if the Warshrine will be better. And making a whole army of wizards miscast would be hilarious, if not a little dangerous for me. The Festus goes with the nurggle unit. That unit it designed to be a hammer with a whopping 22 st 5 poisoned attacks thanks to frenzy and halberd combo. (I feel I should say that I run WoC with a 6 man front.) The SLoT is a little risky but I think he'll be fine as long as I mind my Ps and Qs, and 1+ AS and 3+ ward is not bad. My plan is to use the Lileath model that just came out and put her on a walking disc made out of a disc and tyranid warriors arms to account for thr angle she'll be at. The 30+ Marauder units are so large because I want to use them as anvils and screens. Wich is why i gave them HWS and marked them Tzeencth to get that 5+ ward. Reforming them as needed. that way I can give them a ten man front or a five man front depending on the foes army. the chariot is more just filler. So please comment, advise, suggest and, ridicule. |

I like your way of keeping sane ;) As for the list it's not bad, a couple of things I would comment on: Sorcerer lord is very well protected and as long as your not stupid with him he shouldn't die. I think the spell familar is not needed though; with the new spell selection rules getting the spell you really want when rolling 4 dice becomes a lot easier now. Also, I'd suggest putting the 3rd eye on him for those times when tzeentch isn't much use. Have wondered about Festus myself and would love to hear how he works out for you. I fancy running him in a horde of khorne marauders :P In my opinion a BSB should ALWAYS be kitted out defensively. The reason is he is one of the most important models in an army now (due to the benefits he brings) and as such MUST be protected. Therefore I'd drop the magic banner and get him a ward save ASAP! Main units are all fine. What I would do though is get a hellcannon in here like you mentioned. It gives you a good shooting threat, can hold a flank on its own and has a pyschological effect on your opponent as he can't afford to ignore it. To pay for it drop the warshrine and chariot. I think warshrines are only useful if your taking chosen with favour of the gods and plan to buff them to pieces. And seeing as though they're not in your list you'd be losing little for more gain in my opinion. Anyhow, just some suggestions ;) |

For the same points you could get a unit of 18 chosen with the same weapon options, you dont have to use the chosen models, I have seen many conversions done which look effective and cost a lot less. |

put in some more warriors and chosen in the unit to ensure that you can always strike in 2 ranks |

I'd choose a Hellcannon over Warshrine any day (probably because I dont run Chosen.) Matter of fact, my Hellcannon is the first 205 pts of any list I write. They go hard and psych opponents to boot. The next on my list is hounds. 3-5 units (usually 1 unit/500pts) of 5 hounds. You deploy them first to see where your opponent puts his units in response, then deploy your 'real' units when you run out of hounds. Festus plus 14-17 (5 or 6 frontage dpendant) Warriors (MoN, Halb&S, BoR) is awesome. I do like the idea of embedding him in a Khorne Marauder (GW) horde. Might try the latter this Thursday. To be honest, I would consider running a Hellcannon keeping your Lord & Heros, running two blocks of Warriors, a big block of marauders, and maybe 2 x slaanesh chariots to protect your flanks. Either that or one chariot plus the Hellcannon deployed to hammer stuff and protect a flank. I have used Slaanesh as 'smash n run' flank protection. Just thought - what works for one may not work for another. :rock: |

If you play against elves, or other armies with a lot of / good shooting, you could consider putting the Mark of Nurgle on your marauders. They'd benefit from the -1 to hit considerably, and then in combat they still get a bonus -1WS to keep them butchering your enemies shooters. Otherwise, list looks solid, nice work! Pilch |

I would say that if the the marauders are the target of shooting in this army then something is very wrong. I'm not trying to make an as powerful as possible force. I just want it themed. Hence the affinity for Tzeentch. Yes I want to win, but not so bad as to compromise the theme. The splash of Nurgle is also for that effect. That unit will be painted to represent a joining of Khorne and Nurgle. I'm thinking they will be painted in halves, green one side red the other. The Chosen were added after much deliberation. It occured to me that Tzeentch would send his favoured to march with his army. It stands to reason however that he wouldn't need an ostentatious display of his grandour like Khorne might and Slaanesh would, so the Warshrine is out. And the hellcannon is in. and since I have a few points left I'll go ahead and give the champion of Tzeentch in the chosen unit Favour of the gods and add one more to the unit. So this I believe is the final draft. Lord 395 Sorcerer Lord of Tzeench 395 LVL 4 Disc enchanted shield Third eye of Tzeentch Talismin of preservation Heroes 365 Festus the leechlord 185 Exalted hero 185 Halberd,Shield bsb Armour of destiny sporific musk core 1219 30x marauders 220 full command mark of Tzeentch HWS 30x marauders 220 full command mark of Tzeentch HWS 18x Chosen of Tzeentch 475 FC,AHW favoured of the gods Blasted standard 17x Warriors of Chaos 401 Full Command Halberd and shield Mark of Nurgle Banner of Rage Rare 150 Hellcannon Total 2248 Iwant thank all of you for your imput, it all helped in one way or another. You helped me take an okay army and a good Idea and turnit into wgat I think is a very themed yet competetive and playable list. Please make any suggestions. there is always room for improvment. |
