With the new Chaos powers and all the other options, would it be better to have three level three sorcerers or four level two? Please explain why you think one way is better than another.

Lvl 3 psykers for sure, mainly so you can dive for what you need. It really does matter when You NEED invis or whatever you are really hoping to get, putting that one extra try at it is so vital.

Yes it is technically the same as amount of powers but putting them at lvl3 lowers the chance of getting repeat spells on different guys.

Depends what you want.

3 level 3 sorcerors gets you a better chance of a specific power (since you can't roll the same power twice). Better if you're trying for an invisible deathstar

Plus, 3 level 3 sorcerors are cheaper. The actual base price difference for the sorceror and mastery levels only is pretty minimal, but if you take three higher level sorcerors, you only have to buy upgrades like veterans, wargear, marks, steeds, invulnerable saves and spell familiars three times, not four.

Since you've definitely got to buy Veterans Of The Long War (Black Legion formation) and will probably want a bike or disc each, that adds up, fast.

Thanks guys

Although it's not one of the options, I vote for 5 level three sorcerers. I mean, if less is more, imagine how much more more would be!

Just hope you get the first turn....

If marked, less sorcerors more levels.

If unmarked, more sorcerors less levels will allow the same chances of power generation. The point about other upgrades still stands though... I would personally run them at level 3 regardless.

I'd probably agree. Being able to buy Mastery 3 is one of the Chaos Sorceror's biggest advantages over his loyalist equivalent.
