Hi guys,

been having a play around with the WoC now 8th has finally settled in, this is my first draft so model restrictions aren't an issue as I will be speaking to Mealstrom once I have a list I like so fire away with all the criticism you feel necessary!.

Anyway, the list:

Sorcerer Lord: lvl 4, MoT, Disc, Talisman of Preservation, Infernal Puppet : 395pts

Exalted Hero: BSB, Runesword, Shield, MoK: 205pts

40 Maraurders: Full Comm, MoK, Great Weapons: 250pts

40 Maraurders: Full Comm, MoK, Great Weapons: 250pts

20 WoC: Full Comm, Halberds, Banner of Rage, MoS: 395pts

5 M Horsemen: Flials, Muso: 81pts

5 M Horsemen: Flials, Muso: 81pts

Warshrine: MoT; 150pts

4 Chaos Ogres: Great Weapon, Muso: 190pts

1997pts Total

So what do we all think?

Banner of Rage and MoS? Seems a bit redundant - the frenzy will protect you from everything the MoS does.

Are the horsemen for warmachine hunting? In some ways its better to just spend the 162 points on more troops & count on getting stuck in by turn 2.

Looks solid but may I make one suggestion. Give the Marauders Mark of Nurgle, sine they are WS 4 most things will be hitting them on 5's. IMO thats more useful than 5 extra attacks, but it is your call

The mark of Nurgle is -1 WS in combat. Its only useful for turning WS5 into 4 and WS2 into 1.

Stick with the MoK - should be more than 5 attacks. You're hoarding the Marauders, right?
Or save 20 points and take the MoS. Might not seem like much, but never taking panic/fear checks still has a value.

MoK on hordes into too beneficial though right? you'll have guys on the ends not in base contact

But if your not going to Hoard Marauders, then Shield and mark of TZ would be the better option. I don't mind the lost figures on a Marauder hoard. They should be facing off against other elite troops which will be 5-7 wide, not a lot of opportunity is lost on the ends.

I actually don't use MoK on my marauder hoard - I've been saving the 30 points (6 marauders) and going unmarked. Having missed a few panic/fear checks in the past, I'll instead be using the MoS going forward.
