Hey guys
I'm wanting to do a mono god warriors of chaos army however I cannot decide which god to go for. I was initially going to go Nurgle but now I'm not so sure so which god in your opinion is the most fun?

I don't know much about the gods, but I would say Khorne just because they got the new releases of the gods. They have the most new minis.

That being said, I say go with the fluff you like and or the minis that you think are cool looking. I do love the new Khorne minis that were released.

Khorne has certainly the most options and synergies are pretty crazy. Models are reall cool, imo. Khorne Daemons can be added and also lots of options in that.

Nurgle has the Blightkings, Glottkin and the smaller monsters along with some great hero models. A few less options as Khorne as you have no unique Marauder kit like the Bloodreavers. Similiar options in Daemon support.

Tzentch has lots of unique models in the Silver Tower boardgame and now would be a good time to start with them. There are rumoured to be further Tzentch releases, maybe a Keeper of Secrets.

Slaneesh is still missing in the AoS lore (I think) and generally doesn't have much models. No unique mortal units anyway, only Daemons.


It's really up to you what you start. If you're not set on anything I would stay clear of Slaneesh, who knows when they will get some releases.

Slaanesh is (rumoured) next year, so hold off for that one.

Khorne is Khorne. Neat Forge World model, though.

Nurgle have some cool webstore only character models.

Tzeentch is branching out as seen in Silver Tower.


Now, fun is hard to recommend. How would you like this force to play? Slow and tough? Glass hammer? Random chaotic moments?

Cheers guys
While I love the look of Nurgle I play nurgle in 40k so would like to try something different.
Khorne actually is quite tempting how well do they do without wizards?

In terms of play I want it to be well rounded woth infantry supported by cavalry monsters and war machines

If you go nurgle, you can also bring skaven pestilins, which are cool

If Nurgle is out of the question, either go for Khorne or the new Tzentch stuff.

Wizards are pretty good for buffing, you could include one or more in a Khorne force, nothing stopping you from it.
Khorne has different characters for buffs though, like the Slaughterpriest or Bloodsecretor.

You can use the normal Chaos Knights for cavalry along with Skullcrushers and as a monster you have Bloodthirsters or even the big Khorgorath from FW.

Tzeench stuff does also look interesting especially as I so also have some Tzeench Daemons (20 horrors a herald and a burning chariot)

Honestly, with such a nickname, you really should go full god of pleasure.

True lol. I really should go slaanesh also my Dark elves are a cult of slaanesh force so I could mix them in

Pink horrors are just stupid now. Its insane how good they are. Since every pink horror turns into 2 blue horrors and each blue horror turns into a brimstone horror. Pink horrors are summoned on a 6 and if you take the battalion all the units in the formation can cast an additional spell. IT NEVER ENDS

I like nurgle for 40k and khore for fantasy, they just look good to me.

Fantasy big strong scary guys who love to butcher sweet on. But nurgle is pretty sweet here two.

40k nurgle because most space/ chaos marines kinda look the same with small timbits. But nurgle stands out heads over all.
Khorne in 40 k just looks like normal marines but with axes

Tzeench is boring ooo he is scheemy and all plany, his guys just got big hat slabs on their heads.
Slaanesh is cool but the upgrade kits come with next to no parts and you end up basically normal marines two new heads and a few different guns.

Ah ok will probably pick the board game up in the future tbh those tzaangor are pretty

No what I was talking about are the leaked images of the blue horror AOS warscroll that was on BOLS. It is not on the pink horror warscroll but its on the blue horror one

Ah nice hope they bring out a kit for blue horrors

You can play Khorne without wizards.

The only thing that a wizard adds to a khorne army is the ability to summon additional Daemon units, if you are playing with the summoning units.

If you just want spell casting, Khorne armies can bring Slaughter Priests that provide prayers.

Khorne armies have tons of anti-magic, so you don't have to worry about enemy armies spell casting.

This^^^. The Bloodsecrator has the Loathsome Sorcery special rule. All wizards, including yours, within range have to re-roll for casting. I have one already, but seeing as my son is building a magic heavy Death army, I'll be hitting the e-bays for a couple more. I'm doing Chaos Undivided (I guess it's "Slaves to Darkness", now), but they'll take keyword "Khorne", and I'll be adding some Khorne units. I don't dislike magic, I just like bashing skulls a little better, lol. That said, at some point, I'll add either Kairos or a Lord of Change to beef up the magic. The standard Chaos Sorcerer Lord is kinda meh.

Fielding:
1 unit of 10 Daemonettes (full command)
1 unit of 5 Seekers (full command)
1 unit of warriors of chaos 16 (full command, shields, dedicated to slaanesh)
the Masque
1 chaos lord of slaanesh

so far the army fights well. Its not gonna win any prizes for brilliance, but it wins fights. it was not expensive to buy.

Having an identity crisis?

Khorne and nothing else. The larger model range among all the dedicated armies. Good in cc and this is where you end up in AoS most of the time.

Spoken like someone who's never encountered a Tzeentch flame thrower army...

I will have a look at this army. Very curious.

Watch this video and know why you are it's champion and that your army should have maximum alliteration in their names, titles and battle reports

I started a Slaanesh force myself recently. If you can get your hands on a few 7th edition Deamonettes cheaply, you'll have a great looking start. Sigvald is still available and so are Slaanesh fiends, hellstriders and the amazing lord on tittyworm, who still holds up incredibly well.

I personally think the miniatures should always be the main reason for stariting an army. Just get whatever you like best, you'll get used to how the army plays eventually.

somewhat off topic, so ....tittyworm, thats a thing now...I am seeing that phrase all over to describe that thing, and I have no idea when we here started using it...poor daemon.
