All fire breath. ALL THE TIME. Not intended to be entirely serious, but if you see opponents who love to run huge hordes, this list can be a nightmare.

That's 11, count em, ELEVEN S3 or S4 fire breath attacks in this list. Only Uncle Khorne's Habanero Sauce can be responsible for flames of this magnitude. Why it's an all Tzeentch list... well, you know how chaos gods are...

Actually its 12 as the dragon has 2 breath attacks ;-)
Gotta say, I love the idea of this list, though I can see all battles going completely one way or the other!
I assume you have 40 warriors to run them as a horde? I wonder if you could maybe drop a few to make your lord a sorcerer and hopefully get blue/pink fire of tzeentch too?! (can't remember off hand which is the flame template.)
Or if you can free up 18 points, you can tale flaming breath on your lord?!

Played any with this list yet?

well, you don't need 40 warriors, he could drop 2 of those and still have core filled.

i think against a lot of armies this will come down to my dragon and chimeras eat your big unit with your ccharacters or I don't.

The random movement is what will undo you in the end. the flame template is really nasty against hordes when you're within an inch or so, but it's hard to get there. Anything elvish will just charge and overun through 2-3 spawns. dealing with the dragon and chimera buddies will be difficult though

Your lord is 618 points.
Though if you drop the halberd, and down grade to 5+ ward (becomes 4+ and re-roll 1's), then you can still squeeze in... Flaming Breath from the mutations.

For 5 points more, you could downgrade the dragon to a disk, giving the lord the fire breathe, and with points saved, pick up a 3rd chimera with fire breathe and regeneration.

Looks fun, although aren't you capped on duplicates of special choices?

Rares is the problem. Spawns are rare and aren't 2:1 anymore.
SIX spawn too many.

Good catch.

You need to take out some of the point values here.

I love this army, and just wish I had all the peices to use it!

Point totals per unit are fine. Individual point values for all upgrades (like you'd include on a list brought to a tournament) are over the line, as part of our general concept that we don't want folks using lists as substitutes for buying a codex.
