Hey guys, new to the forum, and relatively new to 8th edition (played maybe 5 games so far.) I'm bringing my warriors back out of the box with the new book, and I was hoping to get some critique on a list I put together. Not tournament play per se, but many gamers in my area are spooling up for a GT so I will be playing against tourney-quality lists. Here goes. Daemon Prince-520 Points -Mark of Slaanesh -Soul Feeder -Scaled Skin -Flaming Breath -Charmed Shield -Daemonic Flight -Chaos Armor -Level 4 -The Other Trickster's Shard Exalted Hero-238 Points -Mark of Tzeentch -Battle Standard Bearer -Warrior Bane -Shield -Disk of Tzeentch -Third Eye of Tzeentch -Talisman of Preservation Chaos Sorceror-215 Points -Mark of Nurgle -Level 2 -Enchanted Shield -Ironcurse Icon -Dispell Scroll -Chaos Familiar 23 Chaos Warriors-411 Points -Mark of Nurgle -Standard/Musician -Shields 18 Chaos Warriors-380 Points -Standard/Musician -Mark of Nurgle -Halberds -Shields 5 Chaos Warhounds-40 Points -Vanguard 5 Chaos Warhounds-40 Points -Vanguard 6 Chaos Knights-305 Points -Mark of Nurgle -Musician/Standard -Banner of Swiftness -Ensorcelled Weapons 4 Skullcrushers of Khorne-347 Points -Standard/Musician -Standard of Discipline -Ensorcelled Weapons 2500 DP uses Shadow lore to debuff while causing trouble in the backfield/supporting main units. Exalted is kind of a swiss army knife, being a cannon shield for the DP while moving up the board, and then hunting war machines, ethereals, chaff, support, all while holding a banner and being generally a pain in the ass to kill. Sorc goes in the bigger unit of sword/board warriors and uses Nurgle lore. The idea is to present a few tough, fast moving targets to hopefully force some tough decisions, backed up by infantry. The main thing I'm on the fence about is the sorceror. A backup caster, while nice to have a scroll caddy and access to other lore, may make the list a bit top heavy in characters. Still unsure of anything worthwhile to replace it with though. Possibly another unit of knights, absorbing the points from the 6th from the original unit Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts, and all input would be greatly appreciated, as I have limited experience with the new book in the new edition. Thanks in advance! |

I would drop the second sorcerer and find the points for another skullcrusher unit, 2 of 3 will serve you well. I would also think about dropping one of the warrior units for either your second knight unit or chariots. With this addition threat saturation and speed seem to be the keys to success so the more units you can put on the board the better you will be looking. |

Second sorcerer is illegal as u have 2 arcane items, familiar and dispel scroll. Drop familiar. I would also drop knights for more crushers. Knights are still point sinks what is really sad thing :( Otherwise its ok list. |
