God these guys sound awsome. I love the hell outta the models and the fluff. I picked WoC in the first place partially cuz of these boys. Ok so this is dumb sounding. But you roll 4d6 and discard 2. Does that mean u get two stats +1?

I dont believe so. It just makes it so you are very likely to get one of the more useful stats. I personally am very happy with +1 to, +1 armor, +1 attack, +1 str, or +1 ward no matter who i am playing against. +1 ws and +1 ini can both also be good but are more matchup dependent

I'm glad to see so many ideas for these guys. Sometimes I wish the word "optimal" did not exist in the world of warhammer. I'm dead tired of "optimal lists". It's so much more interesting to have variety in the game but I know that's not always a reality in tournament play.

My current list has two - three units of 5 chosen with halberds and mark of tzeentch backed up by a shrine.

I think I like the idea of 12 with halberds or the smaller units with additional hand weapons.

A large unit with hand weapon and shield is very tempting. A 4+ ward in combat would be quite fun.

you roll 2 D6 dice for EOTG.
the table is going from 1-12

You dice 4 and dicard 2. The 2 leftovers are added to a result.

In person i am tempted to bring them back.
They get a +1 stat for free at the start of the game.
If i assume i get my wanted T+1 they are T5.
That is a huge upgrade to the warriors.

Would be a nice bunker to have
Tzeench, Wizzard with (MR3) talisman + blasted standard +1T
You need a huge efford to even scratch them

I am usually playing the unkillable Lord plus BSB disc plus disc sorcerer
and i can upgrade them every round if lucky.
To bad the rule is D3 characters

Unit of 18 Nurgle chosen with Festus in the unit in a blood and glory league, yet to play but hope to have fun with them. Have given mine great weapons!!!!
I know it's not optimal, but this is a fun league and we don't see many cookiecutter armies. I thought I would see a few units of knights around, which I expect to see as most of the opponents can take them, and hay, I could even have 19 Str7 attacks against a block of 5wide knights.
Hope to have first game next week

Maybe is not the optimal, but i'll try a horde of them with khorne and halberds. The possibility of rolling +1i vs elves (feasible with the shrine) and see the HE player's face as its stupid wl horde gets rendered useless before he even gets to strike is too tempting not to give a try.Other results like +1 att, though, save or ward are pretty good too, in fact, at 4 dice i find really difficult not to roll something usefull.

The main problem with chosen is that we have better special options, like chimeras and gorebeasts, or even trolls.

If we could choose the buffs for our chosen... nah, not even then.

Ah, well, turns out I've been using them even at a point higher than they cost. Woo. Points drop!

Iron curse icon makes MoT Chosen pretty nice that way you can take Halberds.
