Elevated to CHOSEN! Woo :rock: :wub:

On topic:

At 2,4k gonna try to drop my halberd/shield Warriors down to 18 guys (6-wide). My MoT BSB is gonna hide in hw and shield unit of 15 guys. I'm really struggling to make a decision between no mark and MoT here. Painting depends on the decision and your input, too. :)

My old (15ish) Warriors are being converted to Nurgle as we speak. Gonna keep them hw/shield and try to use hexes to improve their killyness as is the case with the 15-man markless/MoT unit.

Might also try a Mar unit of 20 as a wizard bunker. They're gonna have no marks and HWs but should I give them la/shields?

Depending on the list I think I will be using this unit:

Exalted Hero
- Mark of Khorne
- Battle Standard Bearer
- Enchanted Shield
- Sword of swift slaying

Simple and beautiful!

Well the other one is

Exalted Hero
MoK
Halberd
Helm of many eyes
dawn stone
scaled skin

Sadly its to many points for my 2k list :(

You could always swap the dawn stone for a chalice of chaos and other tricksters shard of course, could be amusing if he turns into a daemon prince :)

So 370 points for 20 MoT, HW+Shields = 370.

Exactly the same as it was before :D

Phew not so scared now, although I am sure my eyes will pop a bit once I figure out my block of 20 MoN using Halberds.

Additional hand weapons look far cooler if you use the jugger axes in both hands ;)

Here's the unit I'm planning on fielding:

Exalted Hero, BSB, Burning Body, Enchanted Shield, Mark of Khorne, Talisman of Preservation

in

17 Chaos Warriors, Full Command, Halberds, Mark of Khorne, Shields

Pretty much what I would field in the old book, except that now the BSB is the one carrying the Flaming Attacks instead of the whole unit (kind of like how Khorne Heralds do with the Firestorm Blade). The 2+/4++ should keep the BSB alive to earn a roll or two on the EotG chart.

I can definitely see an argument for fielding Nurgle Warriors with Shields as a durable bunker or the basically-untouched Tzeentch Warriors with Shields, but I like my offensive units more, even if I have to pay a little extra.

I was going to use Khorne lances for halberds, then I had the idea of Chaos warrior + Chaos knight upper body + jugger axes in both hands, oh yes, it will look epic ;)

@ rothgar13 - I dunno, I think he 1+ rerollable armour save with a halberd on foot is just to good to pass up if you have the points, especially if he then turns into a daemon prince, S8 on the charge :D

Jugger with any weapon will be very good, just add festus for good measure ;)

Take one tanky Slaanesh Lord with Crown of Command or Sigvald, add one random character of your choice with the Pendant Of Slaanesh standing somewhere safe behind him, and you have a nice Unbreakable unit.

The more i think about the warriors in my army the more I am inclined to take them in units of ten models, I think the new book has really snapped me out of the block mindset and started me thinking more flexibly ,

before I was using blocks 20- 24 warrior models to get the most from cost of mark but I always found those blocks couldn't be every where at once and due to mark of khorne led into bad positions by chaff and flanked etc

I think 10 warriors is fine just deploy them wider than the unit their facing across the board make sure you get max models base to base , having the flexible frontage will get more attacks than support from second rank

Getting a nice stubborn character in an army with these small blocks is a safer bet I am looking forward to flanking and being all tactical again my other army is orcs and goblins need I say more

Just wish the marauder horsemen were not so many points as we needed cheaper redirectors I find find war hounds un weildly
