Strategy is pretty simple. Take 8 Lightning claws, 5 Power Axes, 4 Power Mauls, and 3 Power Fists and charge.

I think if it got the assault off any unit could wreck most anything, but obviously has weaknesses.

Alternative would be to drop the 3 lightning claw chosen and add cultists or to flavor. A dude in power armor costing almost 50pts is crazy, but would please slaanesh.

Seems like an interesting list, but i would recommend dropping a few of the LC chosen to add some more bodies in there, at lower points you need bodies more than you need toys.

I agree... If I wanted to win I probably wouldnt bring any of the chosen! haha

It seems like a lot of people are buying the Dark Vengance cultists, and actually fielding them. While every expansion of the DV box set drops the chosen, or uses them as aspiring champions.

How would you fellas field multiple units of WYSIWYG DV Chosen?

I would say you just don't use them as chosen or convert them . I'm actually using the chosen as aspiring plague champions and using the chosen champ as a sorcerer with a force axe. I might convert the chosen with double light night claws to a lord with a jump pack. Will I use him probably not but it would definitely be fun to do.
