Hey, i'm planning on moving to chaos warriors from playing CSM and IG on 40k. I always loved how the warriors models look so i actually already have 2 minis, a mounter lord on steed and a vanilla lord. So using those minis and trying to make it as cheap as possible i came out with this list, which would cost me 360is USD (damn those extra 13 dlls for the warrior halberds).

Anyway what do you guys think? would i be able to win some games or are my units too pricey?

Here are some thoughts first off i like it
The lord and his mount have served me well throw him at monsters for good times.

I would drop the non bsb hero.
He is expensive worth victory points and you could invest those points somewhere else.

Also I personally run my bsb with the dragon helm him having a 2+ armor is a nice idea and with everything being flaming 2+ ward against flaming is so insanely awesome.
HE sword masts with the flaming banner couldnt hurt him as he chewed em up. good times.

Beef up the marauders 50 is an excellent number or I personally would drop them down to 35 and have them 5 wide but then again you could just keep 40 just careful they do suffer from fear and or terror and other psychology.
If you havent built them yet may I suggest build them without any arm options and try mok with gw and fc those guys are super hard hitting.

If you are going for livable marauders I would suggest mok with festus in them you get a lvl 2 marauders with 5+ regen and poisoned attacks! Those are gross against big tough things.

But over all good list might want to drop puppet for a dispel scroll since you are only bringing a lvl 2 to a fight where others would have atleast 1 lvl 4 is the thing, I know you dont need buffs but it is nice to stop others from buffing their units or debuffing yours.

Also Might want to switch the razor standard for the flaming banner its much cheaper and helps you deal with regen hence you dont have to depend on the lvl2 to get flickering fire off.

Those sounds like excelent ideas, i'm liking the sound of festus and marauder with MoK. that would give me another sorc which is always good and access to nurgles lore.

Regarding the unit size i guess i'll drop them to 35, since my buying plan is to get me two batallions (40 marauders, 24 warriors, 20 hounds, 10 knights) and from there just buy 2 or 3 more boxes. Along those lines i'm not sure if a 10 man knight unit is worth it since it looks like i'll have more knights that i can field.

I know about dropping the mounted hero, it's just sad that i bought that model without knowing anything about fantasy and wanted to use it somehow, guess there's no place for him when a khorne lord is around.

2 battalions is a good idea for sure.
You can use the knights lances as halberds on warriors.
I personally have hounds mixed into my marauder unit and they will be on a leash for awesome looks and as unit fillers since I don't want to paint 50 marauders.

A 50 man horde with him is pretty sweet and the curse is awesome.

You have a good plan the thing is the more youstart playing the more you will see what you like.

loose the magic shield on the lord on juggernaut, he gets a 1+, which is the best you can get from just sitting the juggernaut(+3 to as) just because every hero can take magic items, doesn't mean they always should, if you want more bodies look into wether your heroes actually need that item to perform his duty or it's just icing on top.
Second i would also drop the mok on the knights for a mon with the banner of eternal rage, which gives you frenzy that you can never loose and makes them harder to hit with shooting, let's them hit better in melee and can help out a unit by dropping the enemy's ws.

The shield is because he dosnt get a look out sir since he is MC if I am not mistaken or something like that either way no look out sire from the knights hence the shield can save his ass.
And 5 points for a 2+ against a cannon ball thats awesome.

The frenzy is a problem with the ld test to restrain from charges which if failed can pull you way out of position or just get you stuck in a tar pit.
I would say mot or mok work well mot ward save is nice especially with the blasted standard.

You may want a more offensive tar pit.
Mok marauders with gw hit hard and are 5 points.

This will probably seem like a silly question, but I thought you couldn't use halberds with shields? I'm eager to have this question answered, as my friend and I (both new to Warriors) want to run them, but were under the impression that it was against the rules. Our reason being that in the rulebook, it says halberds require two hands.

No a silly question at all here is the answer.
So you pay the points for both.
While you are walking up to the opponent you have your shields out for a +1 to your armor save against shooting (arrows spears etc).
When you reach combat you put your shields away and pull out the halberds and start leveling people.

So you can totally take both shields and halberds gw etc but you only get the shield bonus against shooting.

I highly advise against gw on warriors.

Hope you guys check out the link below that should give you a pretty solid starting point for woc.
Also if you have any questions that are not covered in there start a post or pm me.

Hope this helps.
