1500pts Mono-Khorne; First time playing in ages...

Well, I've spend weeks now thinking what I wanted to do with the army I've been collecting recently. With a lack of a proper workplace, I've been unable to do any work assembling or painting any models in quite a while and have thus had a hard time settling on a specific build I'd want to go with for this new WoC army I've been collecting (well, I had already started collecting some of it before the new book came out, but still, most of it remains on sprues still).

Having given it much thought, having juggled with the idea of a strictly unmarked army, or a Slaanesh or Tzeentch themed one, I finally settled on the Lord of Martial pride, hatred and battle as my patron. I'm planning on entering the local GW's store's next WHFB tournament which should be held next month or the next (and yes, I know that won't leave me much time for painting, but I know I can manage).

Anyway, comments on the following list, please?

Daemon Prince of Khorne
- Flight, Armour, Scaled Skin, Soul Feeder
- Charmed Shield, Dragonbane Gem, Sword of Striking

5x Vanguard Warhounds

5x Vanguard Warhounds

18x MoK Warriors (Halberds, Shields)
- Standard, Musician

Gorebeast Chariot (MoK)

Chimera (Breath, Regen)

3x Skullcrushers (Ensorcelled weapons)
- Standard (Eternal Flame), Musician

Total : 1499pts

Between the Prince, chimera, hounds and crushers I should have enough speed to get to the enemy's artillery and wizards soon enough to hamper their long range support. I wish I could afford another breath on the prince (at the cost of SoStriking so he remains below the 375pts limit) so he can do something on a turn I just drop him behind enemy lines, but can't figure out where to get the missing 11pts...

Any advice, before I commit my brush and paint?

Why lances? You have the points to go Ensorcelled Weapons which are not only magical but always good.

I think everything else is fine. Your DP doesn't need flaming breath, and your Chimera's got it. Normally I don't like vanguarding hounds, but in this list I think it will certainly put pressure on your enemy... even if they're just hounds.

I would move the flaming banner to the crushers, with their speed you can make sure you get the flaming attacks where you need them. On warriors you just either get lucky or you don't.

So, moving the flaming banner and taking ensorcelled weapons are my 2 pieces of advice.

Looking good. I'd agree with all three of iggy's suggestions. Ensorcelled weapons are much better in almost every situation, the Flaming Banner is nicer on a faster unit and you've already got a Flaming Breath on the Chimera. Sword of Striking is much better for your DP at the moment; more hits is more wounds is more Soul Feed'ing (also more dead people).

Thanks for the advice. Going for the EWeaps on the crushers makes sense, as does moving the banner there. I'd been hesitant at first and didn't want to put too many eggs in the same basket (wanted to run 4) hence their minimalist profile.
