I haven't had a whole lot of time to look into a 8th ed WoC army and have spent most of my time looking into dark elves but I am considering running them at t a8th ed release tourney, C&C welcome.

Darn, you beat me to it! I'm about to post a WoC horde list, too...

I'm not sure the warriors are needed? I think I would use those points towards something with some speed... this is a slow moving list!

What caused you to go for units of 50? I'm leaning towards 40 (in a khorne list rather than tzeentch) and still only going 5-wide to get maximum ranks. How wide were you planning to run these?

I like the trolls in general, although they're another slow-mover (relatively speaking) in an already slow list. Would be fearsome to see this marching across the plain of battle, though!!

50 was mostly for the wow factor how every I was considering dropping to 40 each and dropping the warriors and going with Corn Knights.

If you want to go horde (and trust me, it wont matter if your slow if your going horde), I suggest you drop the warriors and add more marauders! I suggest keeping them at 50 and running them 10 wide. This will give you A) Extra fodder so that you still have a full 3 ranks attacking once you hit combat! and B) More ranks (more than you would running them at 40 at least)!

Marauders are soo cheap! Compare it to your warriors, they are 380 points for 20! You get more than double that for less! Granted the marauders are extremely easy to kill, if your going for a horde army, there will be so much on the table, theres no way they will kill it all.

The BSB.... give him armor! Your BSB is going to be your enemies primary target (well, along with the sorcerer) and if he dies, your army can crumble... its happened to me plenty of times sadly. Look into the common items and see if you cant get his save to a 2+/5+ or a 1+/5+! Also, one major thing you might want to consider this addition, is necrotic phylactery on the BSB. Lore of Death is more or less Lore of Snipe. Its only a 10pt item but it will save your BSB!

Trolls, I havent tryd them in 8th yet so give it a go! If it doesnt work out, try dropping them for a Hellcannon, Shaggoth, or a couple Warshrines! All of them give you amazing support this edition.

And lasty, you should eventually try to run the sorcerer without a mark or disk, and try out some of the new lores! Hes got 4 available to him and all of them are awsome!
