Soo Ive been trying to make some intense characters to kick nutz with. Besides my Bo i have two other character, 1 lord and one hero (2250 pt game) was wondering if theyre good builds or not...

Chaos Lord- Chaos Dragon, Crown of Everlasting Conquest, Rending Sword, Enchanted Shield, Favour of the gods, Word of Agony- 710

This guy is pretty mean and so far I havent faced anything he wasnt able to kill (except a daemon bloodthirster)... he has a 1+ save (chaos armour, dragon, enchanted shield) Has regen and can reroll all failed rolls to wound... not to mention a dragon to kick face with.

Exalted Hero- Mark of Khorne, Juggernaught, Glaive of Putrefaction, Favour of the gods, Enchanted Shield, Acid Ichor- 210
So this is what I use, to kill the daemon bloodthirster. Once i charge the poweful target, all I need is one unsaved wound, and the target is down to 2str 2 toughnes and although it doesnt happen till the end of the phase and he mite be able to kill the hero, he wont make up his points and a unit of mauraders could charge and kick him in the face if i wanted. He also has the juggernaughts attacks and a 0+ save...

Any thoughts or ways i could better equip my lords o' doom?

Chaos lords are prety beatstick all on their own
Its really a question of if you want to beat up on units or chars. Both can be tough.

Sadly, a lord with a flail is about as good as it gets so you really don't need to much else. A cool shield is always nice for that save (I would go with runeshield on the lord) and go beat stuff up.
Word of agony is really the only reason I would take a lord at all. Exaulted heroes are almost as good for half the points otherwise (they can't take the agony).

Well I usually like to send my lord after their lord as well. With the dragon I can accomplish this by second turn, With the rerolls to wound and his high base WS, he takes out a big chunk of that while my dragon easily finish them off.

As well as with armies using generally smaller bases (TK for example) those breath attacks just rip stuff apart when followed by a charge. He hasnt met much of a challenge et except dem BloodThirsters...

*ahem*

It's at the top in the army lists forum.

I would also use the mark of nurgle on the dragon, gives enemy shooting -1 to hit so it provides a little more protection from bolt throwers and the like.

Hmmm, I never thought about that. Good Idea though, especially since with my exalted, ive actually lost him due to str 3 units hitting him and wounded and with his 0+ save, he auto fails. So that will deffinitely help him survive while he flys over to wreck face. Thanks for the idea

where does it say you auto fail, it just means he has to be at -3 before hes at 3+ before that its a 2+

He has a 2+ save. Monstrous Mounts don't grant the AS bonus for being mounted.
