Well, in my allcomers 2400 list I have 11, and 6 of those are pretty much chaff deployments!

Gotta love the chaff war :P

My lists usually have at least the following:

3x 5 dogs
2x chariots (3 in my 3000pt)

I have found my niche with two blocks of warriors around 18-20, two units of skullcrushers, chariots galore and a tzeentch warshrine. Lots of drops, not all chaff in the slightest, but all scary enough for the opponent to question where they want to put stuff lol

Sure. Without going into all the marks/items and stuff, my list comprises:

Sorcerer lord on foot
BSB on horse
18 warrior block
19 warrior block
39 marauder block
5 marauder horsemen
3 x 5 warhounds
6 trolls
2 x 3 skullcrushers

When I say I have effectively 6 "chaff" deployments it's because I view the following units like that: warhound units, marauder horsemen and skullcrushers.

Now that's not to say that they can't and don't do specific jobs, cos they do, its just they're not the core of my army. As such, it gives me 6 "dummy" delpoyments before I have to commit my main battle units. This can be a huge advantage against certain opponents.

A battle can be lost and won in the deployment stage ;)
