Starting a Warriors of Chaos army for tourney play. Trying to be
comp-friendly but not get my a$$ handed to me every game. Although my
die-rolling will take care of that:

2250 Warriors of Chaos

Chaos Lord, Shield

Chaos Sorcerer, Dispell Scroll, Book of Secrets

Chaos Sorcerer, Dispell Scroll, Power Familiar

15 Chaos Warriors, Shield, Full Command

10 Chosen, Add'l HW, Full Command, Banner of Rage

5 Chaos Knights, Full Command

Chaos Warshrine

Suggestions, comments and tweaks please.

With the way that chaos is right now I feel taking any army without a BSB is going to get you into trouble. Also the Mark of Slaanesh is one of the best marks for the points. It will keep you in the game as long as possible and could win you games that normally you would loose.

Not sold in Chaos Warriors (mainly due to M4) and Chosen are just overpriced Chaos Warriors. I would rather have more knights. I think the shrine is overpriced and only situationally useful. MoS should be on anything other than hounds and sacrificial fast cav. MoK and MoN (especially with Banner of Rage) are also worth considering.

Sorceror on Disc of Tzeentch + Eye is pretty good mobile missile flinger.

Marauder cav with MoS and Flails are about the best core you can buy IMHO. You need something that can get to WMs fast. As FC they are also useful at baiting and flails mean they are solid flankers and can actually (possibly) take out small units like knights 1 deep on the charge.

Do NOT run the shrine unless you are running marauders in numbers.

all it really does is give dudes eye of chaos......forget everything else it does cuz it isnt worth it at that point.


NEVER run khorne, instead go magic hvy slaanesh.

With their 8+ spell, you give your dudes frenzy, and since you are T4 with a 3+ save, d6 str 3 hits arent going to do much to you

not to mention its cheaper.

I would disagree with the guy above me on saying never to run khorne. Khorne ahs its uses for quite a few thing. A lot of tournie players like making maurader hammer units by giving e GW or Flails and the MoK.
