Hey guys so my partner brought me the new Warriors of Chaos book as a early valentines gift and under the old book I ran a Mono Tzeench list (I didnt take chosen tho). So im just wondering how viable is this list under the new book? I know people say the new Lore of Tzeench is rubbish but I personally like it

Aside from the questionable lore (warpflame /shakefist), I don't see anything that's changed that should significantly impact your old list. Your magic is going to be weaker, and maybe some point shuffling.

Oh thats fine I got sick of people complaining how broken pandemonium was (especially when I didnt take the puppet or hellcannons) or how broken Infernal Gateway was (it actually only ever removed a unit for me ONCE)

I have no complaints, if Warpflame didn't exist. That makes me want to avoid the lore myself. But hey, the others look interesting now, and I'm personally going for a 4 mark army eventually anyway, so we both come out fine!

That being said, what else was in your army? Warriors and knights haven't really changed much aside from losing Banner of Rage and being pricier if you go for halberds/GWs. Marauders got hammered hard (which is reasonable to me).

You also could try and fit the tentacle monster thing in there. It's pretty much Tzeentch's Puppy and should fit the theme well. Not sure how GOOD it is, but it seems interesting for sure.

My list basically was Chaos Lord a Sorceror a exalted 24 chaos warriors (am hoping to pick another 2 boxes of these guys up this week) 40 marauders with HW+ Shield and MoT 4 units of 5 puppies 10 chaos knights and 2 shrines lol

You're definitely going to take a hit on the marauders. You might want to consider trying another block of Tzeentch warriors. I don't know if it'd be a good idea or not, but you're losing a good chunk of marauders anyway so it might be worth exploring.

Not sure about the shrines now, either. Might want to see how they do now with the changes, but from the sounds of it it might be a good idea to replace one or both with some killy power.

Well I was wanting to get rid of the Marauders out of my army mostly anyway as they kept breaking and they were annoying me lol. I plan to try and get 2 chimerae into my list at 2500 to support my disk lord

Generally Tzeentch Warshrines are still a royal pain in the aft to kill now, and they lay down more hits (although at a lower quality) than they did before. 4+ 3++ is still a very tough unit to hurt, and 5 wounds on top of that means it isn't going anywhere easily.

...on the other hand, it... isn't going anywhere very quickly either. Can't march and doesn't have swiftstride makes it a definate 2nd wave unit.

Tzeentch magic got appropriatly tuned down. Aside from that not much changed. The 3++ ward guy is back with a vengence, he's even better now.

DPs became worth taking. The Chosenstar got nerfed, but I'd say getting free DPs and decent stat buffs for characters from the Shrine made it more of a lateral move to something different.
