I'm a WoC player. I never played a game larger than 2k. At 2k WoC still cant bring a whole lot b/c of our points. Curious to know if at 3k points go lord heavy or just more units? Just need like a quick breakdown on 101 for a 3k game for example what units are a must etc. Thanks

Well, if you're going all-out, a huge block of Chosen with the 3+ Ward will do well.

Beyond that, I guess it depends on what you want to do.

I've been told that a Marauder with the Mark of Khorne and a great weapon is the best model in the game, point-for-point. Units of Warriors and Marauders are pretty much always a good choice.

That said, I'm not really one for looking at the game and saying "model X is bad because it won't make up its points."

I recently heard of a WoC player who did extremely well in a tournament because he went character heavy, and while he didn't kill as much stuff, people killed even less of his stuff.
Point Denial. Which I think works great if you're doing the Chosenstar (though I'd avoid putting at least the BSB and the General in the unit, lest they be potentially Dweller'd or something similar. Plus, they'll already have a 3+ Ward).

That's my take. Oh yeah. Hell Cannons, too.

I will be running a Lord and Sorceror lord in my list. and then a sorceror and exalted BSB.


Then i have 2 blocks of 24 Tzeench warriors and a 20 block of Tzeench chosen(with favor and wailing banner)



I am Tzeench themed and in my mind you really need to pick a theme.

Skittles really doesn't perform well.


the only mix of gods i would reccomend would be a Tzeench/Khorne army.

Characters with MoT for Ward save bonuses, blocks of sword and board tzeench warriors. and a few blocks of Khorne warriors/marauders with any weapon except shields

Ideally, all the Marks have their place. I don't think it's about a theme for it's own sake, or avoiding all the gods 'cause, so much as you take the best Marks, which are Tzeentch and Khorne right now.

My tzeench guys are just dry brushed metal with a Leviathen Purple wash over their armor and horns. their shields are Enchanted blue with a Asurman Blue wash.

it gives the Tzeench feel without looking silly.


i also washed their black cloaks with Leviathen purple(the fur is Bestial brown with Devlen mud wash)

HIDING IN THE METAL BAWKSES!!

Khorne Marauder, Khorne Halberd Warriors/Chosen, Tzeench Shield Warriors/Chosen, Knights, Warshrines, Hellcannon are all good units.

i have 30 warriors 20 marauders 15 knights 10 horsemen 10 chosen hounds spawn and a giant, Archaen ??, lord on jugger lord on slan mount and couple of sorcerer models.

I dont have the models for a competitive ard boyz. I'm just going to have fun thinking of running. Slaneesh EH on mount with horsemen, Archeon with Knights, Giant with spawn (i might be able to convert a empire cannon to a hell cannon). I could fit a chosen deathstar with 2 units of warriors... Really Really small model count. Tempted to convert my mauraders to Tz warriors... just b/c i dont have GW for the marauders.

Tzeentch Marauders with hand weapon and shield can actually be very decent tarpits as well.
