First of all before anything, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. It fits into multiples but in my opinion , this one best. I've been intrested in starting fantisy for a while, and my intrest was sparked again by the new rulebook. Being a definate chaos and close combat fan in 40K I wanted a fastmoving Chaos army But until I get an army book I can't put up an acurate army list, so at the curent moment I'm searching every corner of the internet to find anything that could help me with an army list. And I did find this:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/7th_Edition_Warriors_of_Chaos_Army_Book (but barely any of it has been filled in)

But to be honest there's another problem, I don't know many rules or what most wargear does, but i'll know soon enough ans since I play 40k, it will probably be easier to learn the rules.
This is the army That I'm planning to start of with for now, not to big but if you guys could recomend any units that would help me with this list, please do.

Lords
i was thinking, a choas lord with a deamonic steed and a deamon wepon (I'm not sure if its called that, the D6 extra attack D3 extra str one)

Core
Just two squads of 10 Marauder Horsemen

Special
mabie 5-10 chaos knights (I might get two squads eventualy, since I've had expirience with Bikers, they're a magnet, and these guys I know are good so I'll probably need two so more can survive)

Rare
Mabie a hellfire cannon or Giant, something to support my Cavalry

I'm sorry i'f this is just a anoying post and I promise I'll get a better (proper army list up when I get a army book and rule book, I'm a little broke at the moment but I'm saving up what pennies I have and I will get one eventually)
Any comments at all will be welcome. Thanks.

Problem with cavalry is you cant just have cavalry in 8th. They'll hit up a unit, get stuck, then die off quickly or just get tied up.

Marauder Horsemen arent the best of cores for warriors. May also suggest to switch the chaos lord to a sorcerer. Magic is very useful

ok thanks, So I should probably get a couple of squads of chaos warriors to come up behind then?

Well generally yes. In 8th, even chaos knights, have turned from one charge monsters to supporting units thanks to steadfast and etc.

ok, when I get the army book, I'll post up what I'm planning in more detain (and because of the army book i'll be able to learn more on the units advantages and dissadvantages, what they do, etc.) Thanks for the help.

Also, I'm looking at Nick baytons war in the north campaign (page 41, WD349) and I've noticed, what are the advantages of a chariot and the dragon ogers, do the dragon ogers move as fast as cavalry, with out the 1 charge benefit?

also from reading the battle report on page 40, I see what you meant by how weak cavalry are if they're robbed of a charge.
