Well, for starters, you shouldn't be using spearmen against Chaos Warriors. He'll trash you every time in CC.

Shoot them heaps? I know the volleygun basically cuts through them like they were zombies. They're a CC army, don't play into their game.

yeah, it's my army he's talking about, all khorne warriors and knights, with some powerful heroes thrown in. he bought some more spearmen today, and i questioned his judgement but yeah, i also reccomend more shooting, don't let me even get a turn of combat unless you shoot me a lot first and also get the charge.

also, USE YOUR KNIGHTS PROPERLY. gawd, you need to flank with them instead of sitting still and looking shocked when my knights charge them from really far away.

If your opponent is playing Khorne, and it looks like it's no marauders allowed.

Learn to use Light Cavalry. The coolest part about Frenzy is that it must always overrun. Take a unit of light cavalry and put it in front of a unit of Khorne models. Let them charge the Light cav and here's the kicker DON'T FLEE. Then when they are covered in a fine mist of blood from all of the havoc they wreak, watch how far they roll forward, and learn how predictable they become.

Now try to think of ways to take advantage of it. I'll bet a unit of spearmen properly played will beat Khorne Chosen knights greater than 75% of the time
