I run an army of Tzeentch and recently played a 2250 game. I have 3 wizards and a block of 20 chaos warriors with full command and the banner of 5+ WS against shooting. I used the warriors as a bunker for my wizards and they did well however when they got into combat the wizards were kind of useless. I know I can move the wizards out of the unit before I charge and whatnot but Ive been screwed before by wizards dying in the open. and spending 400 some points on a unit that is for combat but it used as a bunker for wizards and doesn't want to be in combat is a problem.

So I was thinking of dropping the unit of warriors down to 10 and using 15-18 chosen as my main combat unit.

Here is my question, does the 3 points(I don't use up all my special slots so that really doesnt matter) per model justify the +1 WS and roll on the EOTG. I plan on converting them with shields and HW and giving them the same banner of 5+ ward save in shooting with the mark of tzeentch..

The other question is this. I have 6 dispel dice and 1-2 scrolls. The chosen can only take 1 magic item. I was thinking the favour of the gods so they can alter their EOTG roll, but the collar of khorne gives the MR2 and the champ a small WS. But against high magic armies it makes my main combat unit(I also run a unit of knights thought) much more survivable.

So first are the chosen worth it(I think they are)
and which magic item is better the altered roll or the MR2

Let me know what you think
Thanks Aarom

Yes, and take favour, you can get MR3 that way.
