2001 points all in. My intention is to put the hq with the marked units and stick the khorne lot in the LR and just roll up the table with it.

C+C welcome.

cheers

Looks pretty cool but i would think about getting an ADL, some forgefiends or a helldrake, for AA. You have the defiler and the vindi, it's two nice pie plates but it's only good at one thing unfortunately.

Cheers, glad you like it.

I'm definitely getting an ADL in time but i dont think it will suit this army as well as my orky loota's.

Yeah I definitely need some AA I must admit, but we don't have many flyers in my gaming group. Of the 2 we have I own 1.

I intend to just really try out the defiler as he really belongs to my tzeentch cult but I am considering swapping for predator annihilator. What`s anyone`s thoughts on this?

A little update for those who would like to comment.

Played this list against a typhus zombie list, 40 zombies, 2x7 man plague marine squads( 1 in rhino), a defiler, 2 oblits, 7 possessed(in rhino), 2 blight drones and a predator destructor with 2 lascannons.

Not forgetting typhus himself and a sorcerer of nurgle. Both of these were with the zombie units.

The table was semi city fight with a road running up the middle. 5 objectives, Big guns never tire.

A hard 5 turn slog this one was but I eventually run over the top of him, all he had left was a sorceror and 3 zombies. I had the LR, vindi, hell brute, defiler, 3 cultists, 2 csm and 2 termies.

Units of note for me were the termies and the hell-brute. The termies had finished off typhus after he killed both my characters, the swine. They then proceeded into his deployment zone to finish the predator.
The hell brute finished of the possessed, oblits and defiler. I didn't expect it to smack the defiler about I must admit.

Units of note for him? Typhus! this guy rocks, big style. Plague zombies, I cant believe they're upgrade is free, they just wont die.
Blight drones, these things are amazing. 120 points for a flyer with a battle cannon, a reaper, daemon, 12 AV at the front, 3 HP. Just wow!

Changes I would make?

#1 The chosen, they just didn't do anything for me all night. Although they did have major bad luck with the terrain rolls I must admit. But that aside I feel they are just too expensive for what they bring.

#2 The cultists need to be at least 20, no doubt about it for me now. The auto gun squad blew the possessed to bits, 20 of them would be quite nasty I think.
The c-c squad were rubbish they just got done in by the zombies and sorcerer. I'm now considering 20 with the MOK, that would add a bit of punch me feels.

#3 The LR! You just gotta love the LR. This is the worst of all the LR and it breaks my wee heart. Don't use these except for exclusive assault units, ie MOK termies who need to get there. I cant believe that they put its points up.

All in all a good start to 6th for my IW. If I do remove the 2 units and increase the zombies then I will have about 250 points to play with. I definitely need some AA an ADL will need to get purchased very soon I feel.

So that leaves me with 200ish points or so. Any suggestions Dakka? Any comments about the list would be nice

Just on your feedback which is actually nice to hear!

#1 - I see what you mean, I 'generally' only use chosen with the master of deception trait and scream in with plasmas.

#2 - my views on cultists are keep em cheap! No auto guns and just spam them in, try putting someone in their group so they gain fearless. I play alot of tau so I use them how I use my kroot. Tie things up! Damage is a bonus!

And the LR you get it :p.

Hell drakes! At 2k deffo! They just own! They really really do. It's an auto include for me everytime.

The heavy bolters on the CSM, mag to grid get rid! They are heavy right? Dnt have my codex close. Just a weird mix of plasma - rapid fire, and heavy bolter- heavy. One you can move, the other not.

I love iron warriors! I'm aiming at painting my chaos in mostly their theme to. I run two maulers in my iron warriors list I read about them in pairs taking down titans and just had to put them in for fluff. They also keep the synergy of my list using master of deception and speed .
