Dakkites... Mostly of the Chaos variety

I saw a a chaos player play with a list similar to this at 3k, the only real change was he had a little more chaff, his core was built differently and another chimera, but I never play that high so I'm trying to compact it into 2400. Failing that, I'm looking for a list different to my usual special character exploit PLUS it incorporates my sexy sexy slaanesh aha!;

Lords
Ka'laas Plaguefather -

Daemon Prince, Mark of Nurgle, Level 3 (Lore of Nurgle), Chaos Armour, Daemonic Flight, Sword of Striking, Dragonbane Gem, Charmed Shield, Acid Incor, Soul Feeder, Scaled Skin, Chaos Familiar, Fiery Breath

Hero's
Gabriel, The Chosen One -

Exalted Hero, Mark of Tzeentch, Battle Standard Bearer, Disc of Tzeentch, Great Weapon, Talisman of Preservation, Enchanted Shield, Third Eye of Tzeentch

The Twisted Twins -
2 x Chaos Sorcerer, Mark of Slaanesh, Level 2 (Lore of Slaanesh), Steeds of Slaanesh

Core;
Sons of Slaanesh -

2 x Marauder Horsemen (5), Mark of Slaanesh, Light Armour, Flails, Throwing Axes, Musician

Blood Wagons -
2 x Chariot of Chaos, Mark of Khorne

Slaves of Anger -
Chaos Marauders (15), Mark of Khorne, Flails

Special;
Winged Fury -

Chaos Chimera, Regenerating Flesh, Fiery Breath

Rare;
Flesh Reapers -

2 x Skullscrushers (3), Mark of Khorne, Ensorcelled Weapons, Musician, Standard

The Sorcerers join the horseman and harass, the chariots will kamaksi into the juicy units, marauders were to try out, skullscrushers are phenomenal, chimera in the flying squadron

Thoughts?

Big cheat? It's a perfectly legal combination, granted it's not very friendly but there's nothing saying you can't do it, infact it's a famous build for a BSB.

Stop. Just stop. Please. Just stop with that.

As for the list, it seems fairly standard with the heavy hitters and the rest is seasoning. I'm not sure why the sorcerors are on steeds of slaanesh instead of just regular mounts if they're stuck with horsemen anyway, but I don't have my book handy to check on movement stats.

If you were going this far, why not put Lore of Slaanesh on your DP? It'd be a good step in the 'different' direction, and from experience it's actually pretty fun and effective. Take out one sorceror, leave the other with a dispel scroll, and make the DP a level 4 if you can squeeze it in on top of the rest. Drop the acid ichor, though.

The sorc thing is a pretty good call. That way they get to become fast cav, as opposed to normal cav, and the marauders get to keep their vanguard, in exchange for 2" movement per turn.

@Evertras, Darkavenger what if I changed the DP to slaanesh and level 4, then had my level 2 grab a skull of Katam, loose the other soreceor and get a unit of the slaanesh riders? Then bunker the sorceror in the slaanesh steeds and use the horseman differently?

I'm iffy on it, only because I've tried the Slaanesh sorceror in the hellstriders before and I always felt a little odd charging him into combat. Horsemen provide plenty of mobility and about the same protection for much less. Still, if you want to try hellstriders, now's the time!

@Evertras Both units work out at about 105-110 each, however the striders fight better than horses but the horseman fight better than the slaanesh riders, movement is a big difference, maybe if I gave the sorceror a little protection with a buff to armour or something, I hope to quiet quickly bump through to a 4+ ward but I bet everyone thinks that!

Marauder horsemen. They have ranged attacks. And make core tax.


The only time to take hellstriders is with the slaaneshi list. For those who're curious, it's a Slaaneshi prince, tooled up out of every orifice. Slaaneshi BSB on a steed. 2 Level 2s on steeds(One on slaanesh, one on shadow with the familiar). Core of slaaneshi horsemen(2 units of 10, the rest in 5s). Hellstrider Bus- 10 with scourges. Two hellcannons.

The rest is to taste. The reasons for that set up are as follows. The prince is guaranteed Choir. And hopefully the level 2 shadow rolls mindrazor/withering. The entire list has ridiculous movement, and can dictate the game. You have three units that can fight(with support) and double flee. The hellcannons just do what they do.

You saved me a question there ! it sounds like a fun list! I might have to try it out someday actually!, whats the general tactic with it? deny combat res and support with hard hitting units such as....

Just mess about in the movement phase, and detonate Choir with the prince.

Use the prince as normal, and support him with the bus. Only engage the units if you're sure that you can get mindrazor/withering off.

I think that they hellstrider bus has to be the weakest shittest bus going, compared to warlocks, sisters of the thorn, cold ones

I bet it's alright come turn 3 when you've run over 3 Sabretusks, furies, harpies w.e to get a 4++ Ward n stubborn but it's an uphill battle til then

That's where the characters come in. It's easy to get them to a 3+ armour. And stick two exalted heroes in there, and you can block up the front rank fairly easy.

3+? With chaos, mounted and an mundane shield your at 2+ already aren't you? So how would you run the bus, 10 hellstriders with whips (because of Mindrazor/withering) FC, Level 2 sorceror on steed with a pinch of magic armour to get him to 2+ (Dragonhelm probally), with chaos familiar, lore of shadow, then how many exalted? And what do you give them? I assume you need enough to get 3 ranks of 5 so maybe 11 striders, 1 wizard n 3 exalteds means front rank is all charecter and champ? Banner of AP?

You need the two sorcerers. Level 2 slaanesh. Level 2 shadow with the familiar. You could go without the slaanesh one if you feel lucky. And then 1-3 exalteds depending on points.

That way, you have a fast cav bus where the front rank is all 2+ armour, except for the 1+ armour BSB(Enchanted shield/4+ ward). I'd equip them all with lances, where possible. Or great weapons if you feel the need to try and grind, I don't recommend it though.

As for the bus itself, 10 striders with the asf weapon upgrades.

I think so. I've never played it. I've heard it mentioned a lot though.

It would need to be more than a 2400 game though if you wanted a DP, of you don't you would have to use a exalted with nothing but a shield and halberd is 149, so one of them a lvl 2 with familiar, bsb, a lord with killy gear and a lord sorceror in 10 striders, but that is phat points!!

It's just the normal prince setup. But with MoS instead of MoN. It can be run at 2400.
