Hi, I am a 40k player looking to start up a fantasy army. I thought it would be quicker and cost effective to run an elite army. This is what I've come up with so far:

Exalted Hero (215pt.)
Mark of Khorne, Soul Feeder, Sword of Might, Charmed shield, Dragonbane Gem, Juggernaut of Khorne

Chaos Chariot (120pt.)
Mark of Khorne

Chaos Chariot (120pt.)
Mark of Khorne

Chimera (290pt.)
Flaming Breath, Regenerating Flash, Venomous Ooze

3x Skullcrushers of Khorne (244pt.)
Ensorcelled weapons, Musician

= 989

I still need another troops choice to get 25%. How would you spend the remaining points or what would you change?

Thanks

2 more chariots? and drop venemous ooze and a get a unit of dogs.

I was contemplating running nothing but chariots on my fast Khorne list instead of a small blob of warriors. Is literally no infantry viable?

Thanks for the feedback, how about something like this:

Exalted Hero (215pt.)
Mark of Khorne, Soul Feeder, Sword of Might, Charmed shield, Dragonbane Gem, Juggernaut of Khorne

Chaos Chariot (120pt.)
Mark of Khorne

Chaos Chariot (120pt.)
Mark of Khorne

Chaos Chariot (120pt.)
Mark of Khorne

5x Chaos Warhound (40pt.)
Vanguard

5x Chaos Warhound (40pt.)
Vanguard

Chimera (290pt.)
Flaming Breath, Regenerating Flash, Venomous Ooze

3x Skullcrushers of Khorne (244pt.)
Ensorcelled weapons, Musician

This leaves 10 points left over for something

You may find your chimera dying turn 1-2 to shooting but at least that means they aren't shooting everything else.

At 1200 points no Infantry is plausible, and could win games.

Chaos have the great fortune of having spectacular Core, which means at any points level they can rock.

25% required baller Core units? Yeah you got me. And I'll take more probably.

The edited list looks plain nasty. It has alot of killing power in some very mobile units. Yeah the Chimera might become a pin/cannonball cushion if they are on the field, but that leaves your other units not getting shot at. Just be sure to joint-charge units with the chariots so you can break through them and not get flanked.

With the 10 pts you have left over, i'd either give the Exalted the seed of rebirth for a little extra protection (not too many things will be getting through that armour) or take a unit champion on the skullcrushers. That way you can keep your Hero out of challenges you don't want him in.

Other than that the list looks great! Welcome to Warriors!!

I think champion on the skullcrushers is the best choice. let you kill more with that hero

Really? It might seem like a good idea but then your champion has to declare a challenge and might end up slamming all of his attacks against a weedy unit champion whereas he could have killed another two-three regular models.

Yeah but it keeps the Exalted from getting stuck doing the same thing, and yeah he gets 2 extra attacks, but at a higher WS and Str6. More then likely he will drop on average no less the 2 models, more likely 3 according to who your fighting.
