We ended it here.

Some thoughts :

-5 man warhound units only serve as a distraction, cant really go warmachine hunting or take out scouts

-Chariots frontal charging a steadfast block is a bad idea, especially when it can get you flanked

-No way to deal with tooled up CC lords except via magic

May I ask why you took MoN on Marauders? I have never really seen that before

I thought it would give them a bit more survivability.

Statistically, Mark of Tzeentch is better for cheaper, by and large. However, I wholly support anyone taking non-optimized options.
