I recently joined a WHFB league and been toying around with my list. I don't have much in terms of models and quite frankly don't see me buying lots of chariots which seems to be great for filling my core nowadays. I love the chaos warriors models and I plan on using them so... Here's what i have so far:

Lords (625)

Chaos Lord - MoT, Third Eye of Tz, Talisman of preservation, Enchanted Shield, Sword of Striking
Sorcerer Lord - lvl4, Dispell Scroll Lore of (whatever I'm facing)

Heroes (168)

Exalted Hero - BSB, MoT, Ironcurse Icon, Dragonhelm, Hideous Visage

Core (821)

5 Chaos Warhounds
5 Chaos Warhounds
18 Chaos Warriors - MoT, FC, shields, Blasted Standard
18 Chaos Warriors - MoN, FC, shields, halberds, Banner of Eternal Flame

Special (415)

Chimera - Flaming Breath, Regeneration
Gorebeast Chariot - MoN

Rare (469)

Hellcannon
3 Skullcrushers - Ensorcelled weapons, Musician, Banner (gleaming pennant)

Total: 2498

In the past I ran the Lord with the helm of many eyes and let the BSB hold the Crown of Command but in 2 out of my 3 games he has been targeted by the units he is combat with and lose both the BSB and the crown. Which later translated into my lord running due to the enemy unit having lots of ranks and my high rolls.

Also first time with the blasted standard, not sure if it's worth it, on a game yesterday against empire I lost 10 tz warriors due to 10 wounds from a Hellblaster, not a single 6 in 20 rolls (which probably is just bad luck, still an average of 7 death warriors would be painful) So I added both the standard and the Iron Curse Icon which might be overkill

Besides what is on the list atm I don't really have many more models, 40 marauders, a slaughterbrute/vortex beast, 5 warhounds, 10 knights, 1 tz disk sorc, 1 steed lord and a DP. So that is pretty much what I can play with.

PS. My DP list is pretty much the same but has the lvl4 all decked out nurgle DP instead of both lords, a lvl 1 sorc with dispell scroll and a slightly more decked BSB.

Chimeras are better in pairs, with only one your opponent will just deal with it first then other things. You want multiple threats per turn.

You are right, the chimera always attracts those cannon balls, I would get more but there has been a shortage on the model for a few years now at my FLGS. Ordering here to mexico might take a while so probably not in time for the league.

Would you suggest to drop it if I can't field a 2nd?, I see it works with the DP list since both are juicy targets for the cannons but in this list maybe dropping both the chimera and the hellcannon (which always seems to fail at his shots) so that i can field my 10 knights with MoT and blasted standard. Would it be better?

For compeitive play you'll need to submit your list before each event.

The Chaos Lord and BSB are not competitive builds.

I'd go for them both on discs. Both with MoT, and both with 4+ wards. Talisman and armour of destiny. The lord takes the armour and scaled skin. The BSB takes the talisman and charmed shield. The set up you have now won't cut it.

I'd try and fit throgg and friends in. That way you get a big block that meets core and gives up little points.

This tournament/league allows to change lists between games since it is a 5-6 months things to play every player twice at our FLGS, I don't like to tailor lists against specific armies nor in WFHB nor in WH40k but the lore change seems to be something pretty easy to adapt between games.

The disk hero lords sounds fine but not sure I mean, they can't go in a unit if they are riding the disks which makes them easy targets for cannons, and a 4+ ward is a 50% chance to stop the cannon ball, seems like a huge chance to lose your BSB and Lord. I haven't played lots of Fantasy so not sure if this is true but that's what I feel would probably happen.

Yes I'd say drop it if it's all on its own I think you'd be better served by more chariots

Mark of Tzeentch adds one to the ward save. Both of the 4+ ward tzeentch characters have 1+ armour saves, and 3+ wards. And they fly.

Failing that, you can stick them on daemonic mounts. Immune to killing blow, T5 heroes with 3 wounds, and hard as nails characters.

Yesterday at my FLGS just like a mirage a chimera box appeared among the new merchandise, after a few minutes I decided to purchase it, along with an old metal mounted Archaon... so.... looks like I got my 2nd chimera and a chaos lord on daemonic mount.

I'll probably change my list to this:

Lords

Chaos Lord - MoT, Third Eye of Tz, Soul feeder, Daemonic Mount, Crown of Command, Enchanted Shield, Sword of Striking, Talisman of Preservation

Heroes

Chaos Sorcerer - Lvl 2, Dispell Scroll, Charmed Shield, Seed of Rebirth, Lore of Shadows/Death
Exalted Hero - BSB, MoT, Hideous visage, Dragonhelm, Ironcuse Icon, shield

Core

5 Chaos Warhounds
5 Chaos Warhounds
18 Chaos Warriors - MoN, Halberds, Shields, FC Banner of Eternal Flame
18 Chaos Warriors - MoT, Shields, FC, Blasted Standard

Special

Chimera - Flaming Breath, regen
Chimera - Flaming Breath, regen
Gorebeast Chariot - MoN

Rare

3 Skullcrushers - Ensorcelled Weapons, Musician, Standard - Gleaming Pennant

Total: 2498 pts

Thoughts?
