Hey folks,
So as the title says this is my first attempt at a 1500 list.
I haven't played a game of fantasy since the 1990s....
All c&c welcome, I am somewhat restrained in that my WoC collection is small at present, still trying to decide what to get next.
Any way the list so far has 53 points left to spend, either on upgrades/more bodies or swap some stuff out for another unit.

Lords total 375

-Lv4, MoT, Disc, Charmed Shield, Tali of Pres, 3rd eye 375

Heroes total 373

-Lv1, MoS, Steed of S, enchanted shield 145
(goes with marauder horse)

-BSB, Mok, Demonic Mount, Shield, Warrior Bane, Tali of End, Dragonhelm 228
(goes with warriors)

Core total 448

-12 Warriors of Chaos, MoK, Halberds, Banner, Music, Banner of Swiftness 263

- 5 Dogs, vanguard 40

- 5 Dogs, vanguard 40

- 5 M Horse, MoS, Flails, Banner, Music 105

Rare total 251

-3 Skullcrushers of Khorne, lances, banner, music 251


Comments: So 53 points left, I could get a banner for the SCs, or 2 more bodies for the WoC giving them a 3rd rank (going 6 wide with the bsb on demonic in there), would still have a bit of change... or unit champs?, or take something else out to free up more points and re jig the list more...
I am open to suggestions.

Other models I have (so far, planning on a lot more :) ) :
10 knights, dragon ogre shaggoth, wulfrik, festus, sigvald, nurgle lord, chimera (in need of some converting), marauders, valkia (not enough points to field tho), ogres(also need converting), spawn, a few wizards on foot.

I assume your Lvl1 of Slaanesh is going to take Shadow magic? Slaanesh, while an amazing lore (see: the rest of the forum for any of my many posts praising it), isn't a lore that you can make the most of with one spell--the signature spell is abominable and you don't want to rely on getting something you want on that one die. Shadow, on the other hand, has Miasma as a signature spell. Miasma is awesome, along with several other awesome spells that you might get.

*er, heck, I just read the list again and, to be honest, I'd drop the Lvl1 altogether. You don't need 5 levels of magic at 1500. Use the points for more boots on the ground. Or a Chariot. Oooh! Or a Gorebeast Chariot

Other than that, I'd go for Enscorcelled Weapons on the Skullcrushers. S5 all the time is better than S6 then S4, IMO (and I think this is what I see as the consensus on the forums?).

Thanks for the feedback MyNameDidntFit,
Think I was probably trying to fit too much in to too small a list, If I drop the lv1 I might as well drop the maruaders too and get another unit of warriors or a chariot or two, or maybe knights or a chimera? . Losing the lvl1 would also give me more hero allowance for my BSB's gear.
My plan for the SCs was as a mighty hammer so I figured things should not be in any shape to fight back after the charge, + I modelled them with lances because they look so cool :) maybe I should magnetise the hands for both options...
Next purchase is going to be another box or two of warriors then either a chariot or a demon prince.... I have this problem with all armies I get, the characters and rare/special//elite/heavy options are so cool I end up with tons of lovely models I can't use cos I dont have enough core/troops hehehe

Oh, I certainly know what you mean. Even in a 6k army I didn't manage to field all of my Chaos character models (and this was back when Lore of Tzeentch let me magic Exalted Heroes into existence!) :p

The Lances are certainly going to make for a hell of a hammer, you just have to make sure you pick your targets and ensure you're not left to grind down a Steadfast unit (though with the bucket of attacks they put out, you should smash anything <20-25 models down to size suitably) rather than overrunning straight into the next combat.

The Marauders are a good Warmachine hunting unit, especially with Flails as they can get their S5 attacks there damn quick with M8 and Vanguard.

On the other hand, if you drop them and the Lvl1 that's enough points for TWO Gorebeast Chariots!
