I want this to be my regular go to list at 2000 points, whilst I enjoy the feeling of beating the life out of my opponent with his own models, our group isn't hyper competitive and I want a more enjoyable list. Btw, we have agreed that ensorcelled weapons are not magical, so they can combine with flaming attacks.

You know that banner only lights the horses' hooves on fire, right? Because 'Ensorcelled Weapons' = 'Magical Weapons' and thus not affected. You could give them lances if you really wanted to ream regenerating things, leaving the S5 grinding to the Khorne nutters

enscrolled gives magical attack not magic weapon so they work with flaming. Same for Scull Crushers.

I did post at the top. We have house ruled that ensorcelled weapons are not magic weapons so the two can stack.

House rules ruin games. But fine the whole "play with toys as you see fit".


Why use a Halberd with the Helm of Many Eyes? Strikes first always trumps strikes last so.....

Halberds are not always strikes last, so he gains always strikes first and then he gets the reroll to hit against most things due to his high initiative.

The house rule making the flaming banner work with encorcled weapons is redundant as the BRB allows it. A magic weapon or a weapon with magical attacks CAN be made to have flaming attacks by the banner.

pretty sure sorcerer cant take dragon helm same with the shield as he is a wizard also from memory only one unit of knights can take a magic banner, i would suggest a BsB

Chaos sorcerers come with mundane armour, so can take magic armour perfectly legally.
Also, why would only one unit of Knights be allowed a magic standard?

right forgot they had mundane armour and some unit say up to one unit may take a magical banner, but just checked its a standard upgrade.

But still in a 2000 point list a BsB is somewhat good

The exaulted hero is the bsb, I was being an idiot and I didn't note it down.

Missed that, my bad. Honestly a bit weird of a ruling, as it addresses a 'problem' that can be fixed within the WoC book quite easily - i.e. give the flaming banner to another unit and work together? Because tactics.

Could you please point me to an FAQ? Because for the last many years this has not been the case, and opens up DoC flaming options considerably (as bloodletters and plague bearers of all flavors have magical weapons).

There isn't an FAQ. Magical weapons aren't allowed flaming.

Ensorcelled weapons aren't actually magical though. Just like Dragon Armour. They provide magical attacks. But they can't be arcane unforged.
