Hey guys,

So I am new to Warhammer, but have played quite a few games now. Usually play against some friends who have Eldar, Orks and Chaos.

Basically, there's a grudge match so it's going to be me and Chaos vs Eldar and Orks and I need a 1500pt list to that effect.

I don't percieve the Eldar as much of a problem, I have played them before and have an idea what I am doing. It's just those damn Orks.

He uses a horde army of mostly Boyz I think then puts Ghazkull and some nobz in a Battlewagon and sends it straight at us. Oh and some Deffkopters.

So basically I need a list that isn't going to get me killed pretty easy.

Currently I own:

1 Nightbringer
2 Lords
1 Lord w/ Mount
40+ Warriors
Some Scarab Swarm (enough for a squad I reckon)
6 Destroyers
1 Heavy Destroyer
6 Flayed ones
1 Monolith

I don't mind buying some more stuff, if it's stuff I need

Any suggestions would be most appriecated!

Difficult to really give a final opinion without knowing what your chaos team-mate is taking. You really want him to take a bunch of CC monsters to rip through anyone who tries to close with your weak CC army. Abaddon, beserkers, termies in a LR etc.

Choices I would concentrate on from your models are the monolith, the 6 destroyers and your HQ choices. I would go for both lords, one with the destroyers and one with the warriors, but against poor ork shooting the nightbringer does sound interesting. Maybe you could proxy him for the deceiver?!

If you were looking at buying anything for the list, then I'm afraid the most expensive option is the best one - another monolith!

I'm the chaos player

I don't actually have THAT much CC and even less in the way of transport to get them there, here's what I own:

1 x Daemon Prince,
1 x Terminator Chaos Lord,
15 x CSM
8 x Zerkers
8 x Noise Marines
8 x Possessed
2 x Obbys
1 x Rhino
1 x Defiler

I actually kind of want you to tell me to get more CC because the times I've used my zerkers they've not let me down

Ummm your can't have 4HQ slots... mind you I cant remember, is Nightbringer HQ? anyway, your can't have 3 lords. Um sounds good, Destroyer lord with a large unit of scarabs is deadly. Oh and I know they are slow, but Terminators are the laughing stock against Pariahs.

Hope that helps

I wasn't planning to take 4 HQs, like I said I listed what I owned not what I was planning on taking.

And I won't be against any Terminators?


@Ruminator Yea, I was thinking about the Deciever might be good agaisnt Orkz low LD. The nightbringer would really ruin his day, but do I want to use all those points on them though?

Chaos list has few choices and I'm not a chaos player ...

Necrons

HQ deceiver and lord on skimmer body
Troop 3*10 warriors
FA 6 destroyers
HS Monolith

Add a few toys on the lord and that's your 1500. Key is how you play it. Start warriors in reserve, use the monolith and deceiver ability to keep them out of CC. Chaos and the lash can also assist in that. Advance deceiver behind the monolith to keep from eldar lances etc, use destroyers to trash ork transports and slow them down.

My Chaos friend will be investing in Abbadon and some more CC units anyway, so he's going to take as much CC as possible.


As for the list, very interesting. Would the lord go around with the destroyers?

On a side note, are you talking about 'Decieve'? I've never used the Decieve before.

Thanks for your input

Yes. Use nightbringer model as the deceiver - he can be lots of fun.

Lord starts with destroyers to stop him being picked out, but remember he can unattach and charge units or move to intercept anyone closing with your warriors. Lord is good in CC but destroyers are not ...

Ok, sounds good.

But doesn't that list add upto 1,505 points though?
