Hey everyone, still struggling to decide between fantasy and 40k, but i think im set on fantasy
especially WOC
they look great and all reviews of them that i have seen have said they are amazing.
i know this hobby is expensive, and im not willing to pay a huge amount, but looking at having about an 1000 point army
The battalion looks like a good deal, and with a bit of creativity, i could make a lord with a warrior and also a sorceror maybe?
i already own 3 chaos warriors, so i can fill in the gaps there, what else would be recommened? Im not looking to play competively, just for fun with some friends. Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chaos, you'll love it

The battalion set is a perfect starting point, you can build on it from then! It will help you build a good 1000pts

If you want list advise, post a rough draft and we'll comment on it, if you give us a direction with marks and gods and playstyle, we will help you out

ok got my list now

Exalted Hero-123p
-additional hand weapon
-Mark of Corn

Chaos Sorcerer-125p
-mark of tzeentch

Core
12xChaos Warriors-234p
-shields
-mark of Corn
-full command

20xMaruaders-230p
-flails
-Mark of Corn
-full command

5xWarhounds-30p

5xwarhounds-30p

5xChaos Knights-235p
-Mark of Corn
-Enscorelled weapons

That comes to 997 points
Probs will put the hero with the warrior block, sorceror on his own, or maybe use the marauders as s shield for him, use warhounds to protect the flanks of my advancing warriors who will rek in melee and the knights will take out warmachines and kill some stuff. criticism welcomed, though im not looking to spend too much on a 1000 point army, thats why im only really looking at the battalion. Thanks in advance.

p.s yes my chaos guys follow Corn
Warriors of Corn

Howdi ! Just as yourself i am figuring out what to get to start WoC army (tzeentch and khorne). I Have been reading up on this and these are the basic points i get out of it. Warriors of Khorne always get halberds to be the killey'st they can be. Don't know if you are taking a leader on your marauders (don't know what he is called) but you could drop him for some extra points for halberds, or just drop the shields on the warrior i guess. I only know this from the stuff i read and not from experience but like i said: I am really looking into this WoC stuff

ahahaha yeah chaos has my eyes

hm yeah i just checked out halberds, with mark of corn that makes 3 s5 attacks each, thats pretty dam solid. Ill chuck that in, thank you!

@Necronman fantastic starting point, however you're cheating a mono-khorne list with your wizard of Tzeentch, plus you take away from you're hero slot of your killy lord! Who's quite squishy even at 1000 points!

Loose the wizard completely and get your hero Tailsman of Endurance, Other Tricksters Shard and Enchanted shield, then with a mundane halberd now he is a safe tank, 2+/5++ and like 5 strength 6 attacks and if they enemy had a ward save they need to reroll it!

Warriors of Khorne need halberds not shields! Frenzy can't parry and strength 5, 3 attacks is disgusting, when making the models make 2 1 base unit fillers, or put 1 warrior on 2 bases in the middle, because once you have 14 you run full command, 5*3 with the banner of Swiftness, now they are movement 5 putting out 18 strength 5 and 5 strength 6 attacks where the enemy is -2/3 to their armour AND they are rerolling ward saves!

I would five the knights Lances, then a Musicain and banner and the flame banner, alot of regen is out there but with your 15 strength 6 attacks you'll melt through monsters, khorne loves knights!

Warhounds are perfect! Don't change

Your marauders are missiles! Make them 2 units of 10 with Flails mark of Khorne and no command. Let them run in unleash 15 strength flail attacks then die for their god!

Khorne for the khorne god!

With your 6 drops you will get to place dogs and marauders first so you can place your warrior tank right opposite your enemies juiciest block! Then run for it and grind it to mush!!!
