Hey guys, i've just played my third fantasy game and as usual reshaped my army list to learn form my mistakes and try to get a more competitive list, so here it is my 2nd take and hopefully final standard list i'll use for fantasy.

1st of all i'd like to say that i know i need more marauder... but what can i say i just love having lots of characters around looking badass, hope this can compensate the 10 - 20 marauders short that my unit is. so...

Lords and Heroes

Chaos Lord - MoK, jugger, talisman of preservation, rending sword, helm of many eyes
Exalted Hero - BSB, MoT, Talisman of endurande, biting blade, enchanted shield, ironcurse shield
Sorcerer - Lvl 2, MoT, Disc, Infernal Puppet, Talisman of Protection
Sorcerer - lvl2, chaos steed, charmed shield, Armor of Morslieb, Warrior Bane, Third eye of tzeentch

Core

30 Marauders - MoK, GW, FC
18 Warriors - MoT, shields, FC, Raptorous Standard
18 Warriors - MoK, Halberds, Shields, FC, Banner of eternal Flame
5 Warhounds
5 Warhounds

Special

5 Knights - MoK, FC, Blasted Standard

Rare

Hellcannon

Total 2500

My lord is riding with the knights, the disc sorc going behind the enemy lines, the other sorc going with the MoT warriors and the BSB hero going with the khorne warriors. I'm not sure which lore to go with the unmarked sorc, i think either death or shadow due to the hexes and augments.

You gave your Bsb two shields, I use dragon helm and a normal shield to give him more gear.

Looks good.

Strong stuff. I too want you to have more marauders, at least 40 of them. First off, let's cut some excessive things: biting blade, enchanted shield, ironcurse on the BSB (leave the normal shield, I'm guessing that's on the model); and warrior bane and armor of morrslieb (illegal in combination with charmed shield) on the unmarked sorcerer gets you to 40 marauders w/ MoK, full command and great weapons. And an even 2500 points. The sorcerer is left without defense beyond his 1+ armor save and charmed shield save ... though that's pretty awesome if you ask me!

Speaking of that pony sorcerer, he can only take Fire or Death. Your call, both lores have a couple fantastic spells, but one is very much anti-units while the other is very much anti-character. Not sure which WoC needs help killing (What you really want is Flaming Sword from Fire or Soulblight from Death, though you need to assume you'll be mostly using the signature spells. Death might be a cool choice so you can use extra dice generated by killing things to drive your Tizz spells?)

Here's what I was talking about in list form. Nothing mindblowing, just putting it back together:

Chaos Lord - MoK, rending sword, talisman of preservation, helm of many eyes, juggernaut

Sorcerer - MoT, level 2, infernal puppet, talisman of protection, disc
Sorcerer - level 2, third eye, charmed shield, chaos steed
Exalted Hero - MoT, BSB, talisman of endurance, shield

18 Warriors - MoK, banner of eternal flame, full command, halberds, shields
18 Warriors - MoT, rapturous standard, full command, shields
40 Marauders - MoK, full command, great weapons
5 Warhounds
5 Warhounds

5 Knights - MoK, blasted standard, full command*

Hellcannon

2500

*I'd rather have a 6th knight then a 5+ ward for the unit vs shooting. The jugger already has his own 4+ ward, what do you face that is taking down 1+ armor knights, beyond 1 or 2?

- Salvage

I like the list boss looks solid.

Sort of sad not seeing a lvl 4 kicking around but you have lord angry that re rolls everything.

My bad i meant Ironcurse Icon to give the ward save vs templates to the khorne warriors.

I like your idea, probably will go with it, just kinda sad knowing that my heroes don't have any extra juice around to kick other champions asses... maybe it is because my last 2 games have been vs ogres and damn their heroes are as tough as mine. Now that I look at it, the enchanted shield cost is the same as a normal shield so I guess I'll get it on the hero.

Also regarding the 6th knight, i could field him without problem i'll have 10 thanks to the battalions, still is it better than any other banner then? maybe the one that gives -1 armor? that would make them great to deal with other cavalry. Or any other suggestion?

I know every list i've seen around has a lvl 4 sorc, but hell be damned i'm a khorne follower and i want my general to be a close combat beast, so... jugger lord it is

Not hating at all I love running a Killy lord the bloodshed is awesome.

I recently started running a Killy hero he's pretty fun.

You are using chaos heroes, that means that you per default are scary to other peoples characters. Just don't get cocky I lost my first challenge in a long time, a while back, because I didn't really pay attention to what my exalted with halberd mok was going up against. He got the smacketh down on his ass by a tooled out tomb king lol.
