So here's the list that I'm going to be working towards, the only thing I have so far is the Lord on Manticore. Would be interested in your thoughts!

Warrior Lord - 575 points
- Mk of Tzeentch
- Manticore
- Axe of Khorne
- Talisman of Preservation
- Favour of the Gods
- Diabolique Splendour
- Acid Ichor

His gear clocks in at 565, not 575. That said, I think you can also get rid of Acid Ichor and adding Charmed Shield to keep from getting cannons in the face on the first turn. Think about it. You spent 55 points making sure you REALLY dont get hit. Why take a gift that rewards being wounded for another 15 points. Futhermore, consider how useful it REALLY is. You only have 3 wounds max. Assuming you are getting hit by Toughness 4 enemies, (and thats not likely because of this guys badassery..most people will only attack with a really beefy lord), you have at max 3 attempts with about a 40% chance to do a wound back to the enemy.

Battle Standard Bearer - 166 points (goes with Chaos Knights)
- Chaos Steed
- Banner of Eternal Flame

I would put this guy on foot, with MoT or Slaanesh. I would also put him with your block of 20 nurgle warriors I'm going to talk about later on. Theres also a lot of cheap items that gain extra mileage from this guy.

Lvl 2 Sorceror of Tzeentch - 190 points
- Talisman of Endurance
- Conjoined Homonculus

I would drop the Conjoined Homonculus and add Eye of Tzeentch. The D3 is okay, but is it really worth being stupid on a critical turn? Ld 8 is not failproof, even with a BSB. Since your general is flying around, Ld 9 might be out of reach. Plus, copying enemy lores can be priceless.

Lvl 2 Sorceror of DEATH!!! - 190 points
- Armour of Destiny

Leave him naked. I know it seems folly, but you have so many other threats that he wont get cannoned. I would possibly advise the Fury of the Blood God, but I think we should be shaving points on characters to be honest.

5x Chaos Knights - 260 points
- Mk of Khorne
- Champion
- Musician

5x Marauder Horsemen - 145 points
- Mk of Nurgle
- FC
- Spears

While it's a personal choice, I'd also recommend MoS of MoN. Both are situational, but eventually a marauder will die, even with Nurgles more expensive mark. I like Slaanesh to keep them moving and not running away. Also, I'd drop at least the banner. A large part of strategy with Fast Cav is Fleeing and Redirecting. When you flee, your bannerman dies. I'd drop him personally.

5x Marauder Horsemen - 145 points
- Mk of Nurgle
- FC
- Spears

30x Marauders on foot - 260 points
- Mk of Khorne
- FC
- Flails
- Light Armour
- Shields

If you want a tarpit, take LA, Shields, and MoT. If you want to kill, take MoK and Flails or GW's and defense be damned. Your wasting enough points here to have a complete new unit later in the list. With 30 of them, I recommend going with GW's.

30x Marauders on foot - 260 points
- Mk of Khorne
- FC
- Flails
- Light Armour
- Shields

10x Marauders on foot - 120 points
- Mk of Khorne
- FC
- Flails
- Light Armour
- Shield

Trust me here.. with Marauders, small is okay, but only if cheap. Also, I dont know if you know or not, but you cannnot use shields with flails and 2h weapons. They're worth it even on GW warriors, but not cheap marauders. I say take flails and thats it. You can have almost 3x units of 10 Marauders with flails for the price of this one unit. At 3k points, it might be okay to keep the MoK, but I like to use small units in various ways, and being frenzied, taking ld7 tests to charge at ranges needing box cars and losing the option to flee..? No sir!

10x Chaos Warriors - 240 points
- Mk Nurgle
- FC
- Great Weapons
- Shields

Combine these! 10 warriors just isnt enough, and you need another big block of death. Also, it's okat to keep shields here as they are likely to see a good amount of warmachine shooting and damage spells. Also, at 15 points per warrior, spending 20 points on shields for the entire unit means saving even one 3+ instead of a 4+ means the upgrade pretty much pays for itself.

20x Chaos Warriors - 240 points
- Mk Nurgle
- FC
- Great Weapons
- Shields

Hellcannon - 205 points



Look at the updated list. We saved enough for you to nab a second one of these guys. =)

So there we have it.

I was hoping to get 2 Hellcannons in there, though I can't fit both in and still keep the symmetry of the force (small, hard hitting Warrior units sandwiched and escorted by Marauder blobs), so I opted for the smaller Marauder squad to hang back and protect my sole Hellcannon from anything that may pop up behind my lines. Another consideration was a Slaaneshi Giant, though I just couldn't not get a Hellcannon!

I'm fond of the load out on my Lord, though I really wish I could get the Helm of Many Eyes or whatever it's called in there. As it stands, 5 S6 attacks with killing blow sound pretty good, better whilst mounted on something else that totes killing blow with 4 S5 attacks, made all the more potent by terror caused at -1Ld and a S4 attack for every wound caused against me. Now before I get criticised for being another ward save hoarder, let it be known that I'd been wanting to do a Tzeentch force before I even had the army book or knew the rules! I had tried to stay away from the +1 to wards thing, but I guess you can't help being drawn to what attracts you.
