The two foot Sorcerors run with Marauder blocks, the Sorceror on Chaos Steed tags along with the Knights, and the Lord on Disc can go wherever he wants. The Lord will likely stay near the Knights to benefit from Katam (since Katam isn't using the skull anymore...). Thanks to the War Shrine, the Knight Champion can do the challenging instead of the Sorceror.

I'm hoping to use the War Shrine to get lots of EotG rolls. 4 Casters should allow me to spray death all over the place and make up for the small model count. Combined charges are the goal.

Mostly, though, I want to see if I can make an all-Tzeentch army viable with the new book.

cool idea let us know how it works

PapaSmurf

the marauder unit with great weapons might be alittle small
they'll literally be dust before they get in range of anything.
( 1 round of shooting, 1 blast from enemy magic etc etc)

im not sure what role they play in your list but if its bait,
then even a shield would be more beneficial.

I don't understand the 17 man marauder blocks with GWs and FC. 20-25 man blocks with HW/S and FC are great holding troops. 10-12 man blocks w/Flail or GW and Musician are great cheap hammers (MoK can make them more killy).

MoT is poo poo on units other than shrine and Blasted Standard. Go Slaanesh or Nurgle on the Chariot. Slaanesh makes marauders not run away. Also, much better v. undead.

Dont put your characters anywhere near that marauder unit w/o MoS/MoK.. Unless you want panic'd characters

"Slaanesh makes marauders not run away. Also, much better v. undead."

Marauders of Slaanesh....that is something i never even considered. I usually think of marauders of Nurgle. -1 to hit and shoot at makes them a lot better survival wise, and they still re-roll psych tests.

In my opinion, the only time you should take MoS is with Chaos Warriors/knights, then you can hit them with the frenzy spell and they wont die from it.....or very unlikely for them to die.

Also, you have to remember with Marauders, if a character in the unit is immune to psych, the rest of the unit basically, is immune to psych.
