Hi it's been awhile since.
This spring I tend to attend a tournament. I would appreciate if you gave your views on my armylist.

Now before hand, bear in mind that the tournament neutered the Dragon Prince of Nurgle, so that one is out of question.

Also since the attendance list is public i know somewhat my what my oppoents will play, and so long it is like 8 WoC, 5 Tomb King and 2-3 Vampire armies out of a 30ish armies.


Here is my army;

General
Daemon prince of Khorne
Equipment: Chaos armour, Flight
Chaos Mutations: Soul feeder, Flaming breath, Collar of khorne
Magic items: Dragonbane gem, Enchanted shield, Sword of striking
415 Points
Perks:
Hatred (slaanesh), 2+ to hit (most enemies), terror, flying, Save: 2+ Ward save: 5++ / 2++ (!!!) Vs magic / flaming, +1S first round of combat, 6s regain lost wound.

BSB
Battle standard Bearer of Tzeentch
Equipment: Halberd
Mount: Daemonic mount with barding
Chaos mutations: Third eye of Tzeentch, Burning body
Magic items:Talisman of preservation, charmed shield
271 points
Perks: 1+ save /3++ reroll (+2 save first hit), fear, BSB, S6

Sorcerer pf slaanesh
lvl 2
Mount: Steed of Slaanesh
Chaos mutations: Chaos Familliar
Magic items: Dragonhelm
205 points
Perks: 2+ save, fast cav, fear 2+ ward save vs flaming attacks

Core:
2 x Chaos chariots of Khorne (Baby sitters for Chaos warriors)
Perks: Frenzy
240 points


19 Chaos Warriors of Nurgle
Command: Musician, Standard bearer
Equipment: Great weapons, chaos armor
Magic items: Banner of swiftness
Perks:Enemies -1 to hit in close combat, Always strike last
396 points

Special:
3 Gorebeasts of nurgle:
Perks: Fear, killing blow on charge, 3+ save
420 points

2 Chimeraes
Perks: Large target, fly, regeneration, flaming breath, +4 save, terror
550 points

Tot: 2497

# of units: 8
# of models: 29

Final comments: I don't have much time either in terms of actual time (Tournament is due in late April and i have none of the models) or in spare time, so i aim to field a small elite force that is fast and fun to play.

Your thoughts are most valuable and appreciated.

Also to flesh out my thoughts on the strategy;

General strategy: Get into CC ASAP, like turn 2 preferably.

Set up: Oblique order: Gorebeasts on one flank, khorne chariots + Chaos warriors in the middle. Daemon prince, Chimaeraes + BSB on the other flank. LVL 2 sorcerer either vanguard if safe to abuse his spell deck, or tag along on the Daemon Prince caravan.

How does your DP have Hatred?

Give the DP the Charmed Shield, and remove Collar of Khorne unless you really think you want it. Magic Resistance isn't worth its points. Also, give this guy Scaled Skin.

Where do you plan on putting your BSB? Give him the Enchanted Shield, put him on foot and with your Warriors. He doesn't need Burning Body, he already has the Ward Save and your are unlikely to need the flaming attacks, but keep it if you want.

Your sorcerer should be on foot too, where will he go? He'll get shot up by magic or shooting early in the game without a unit.

Don't give your warriors GWs, they have I5... even with MoN you're giving up too much. Stick them with Halberds, maybe Shields too if you can afford them. Halberds are much better than GWs.

Everything else looks fine. Though, keep in mind you have one big block and a bunch of chariot bases running around.

I agree with iggy in everyting else except.

1) Bsb should stay on daemonic mount. This how he will get T5 and +1W. Also he could easily get there where u need him.

2) Keep sorcerer on mount but maybe change it to normal barded steed and give him shadow magic. This how u can keep him behind lines and cast hexes.

Ur DP does not have hatred against all. If u read daemon of khorne rule again, it says that he hates slaanesh daemons.

Otherwise list looks good.

Thanks for inputs.. regarding hatred I've misread the rules.. was a tad late when i read them / wrote the list heh. changed it in original post now

So... That being said maybe I'll scrap The Khorne DP and go for either a Slaanesh DP lvl 4 or a Tzeentch?

Regarding the BSB on Daemonic mount: I've equipped him with burning body for monster hunting; Abombs/Hydras etc so they dont lock down my DP.

I will toy some more with the DP set up get back.

My 2 cents: Drop the Chaos Familiar and get a Dispel Scroll. While an extra spell and 5+ for channeling is nice, an auto dispel of that nasty spell mid-game is priceless. I feel like in any army, the BSB and a Dispel Scroll are auto-include.

Other than that, I like the list! Let us know how you do!
