I feel like it needs more Chaos Warriors, and it looks like I might need to take out the Exalted on Mount, but I was just wondering what Dakka thought of this list.

What sort of magic environment do you play in? 6PP does not go very far against a lot of armies. Might be worth down grading to lv1, or adding a Sorcerer lord to get over the top.

I think one or more of these units should be replaced by more warriors. Feels like one too many toys in the list.

I agree, you need more warriors to make those blocks matter more. I also sorta agree that there are a lot of toys happening, and since I dislike what the warshrine does besides buffing, I'll axe that dude ...

That's my gentle tweak of your list. I dumped more points into completing the nurgle marks (themey but also should help giant / marauders not be shot), but otherwise trimmed some things to fit in more warriors. The foot dude (who now has a far healthier save) rolls with the WAR block of 5x3, and the 6x2 lumberjacks hope to get lucky and mash somebody up. Knights got the shroud, as they're actually likely to have it go off - remember that it's only your magic phase, which means if you charge it will rot some enemies, but if you get charged (and the lumberjacks will most likely be charged or shot then charged) then you have to hold before it kicks in. Also note that I dislike the tongue and prefer having a boosted magic phase and a dependable-but-cheap-and-doesn't-give-up-half-points scroll for defense.

Props on the trolls too, and the variety in the army is quite nice

Hmm...

I was thinking of removing the shrine and marauders for another unit of Warriors with HW Shield. Thoughts?

I'm liking your list Salvage, but I really do want that third unit of warriors. What I'm thinking of doing is taking off the Shroud of the knights, MoN from the Giant and taking the Warriors down to 11, and then throwing in some more warriors, I'll work on it.

As for the tongue, I was mainly going to use it because I'm up against Ogres, and that miscast table is brutal. Otherwise, I'd agree that its a points sink for a gimmicky ability.

And the promised re-write

Dude - you don't need help beating ogres, give the guy a break

Personally I'd rather see 2 meaningful units of warriors + 10 flail & musician bait marauders than 3 tiny warrior units. Assuming you're putting a foot character in each warrior unit, those things are pretty easy to smash through with a little dedicated force. I dunno, maybe you have more luck getting your M4 infantry to charge and not be charged ... Which is why I still think the shroud isn't a great choice, not on 11 warriors anyway. The rapturous standard is going to serve you better, as then the remnants of one unit can hopefully go IC and hold for somebody to help out.

Also, is there a modeling reason your exalteds don't have shields? 5 pts each is nothing for that pip of needed armor!

And finally, I'd keep the puppet on the second sorcerer, instead of his other gear. Frees up some points, but also is nice for saving your bacon and frying his a bit more.

Hmm, that's certainly true.

2 units of 10 Marauders with flails, probably with a musician just in case.

And yes, modeling wise, they can't have shields. /shrug.

So I'll keep the puppet then.

Hey if it's a modeling thing then no prob. My BSB has none because I don't want to add one, and I fair ok. In fact he only took S4 hits from RoBI in the last game vs HE, which the HE dude couldn't roll higher than a 3+ to wound

Def go with musicians, you'll want to be able to bait-n-flee if needed. Should actually help set up your warriors for nice charges, or flank in later to help them break people.
