Ok. I literally JUST bought everything that came out today. I have one of each box. However, I need help making an army for them using ONLY the Wrath of Magnus book as it's the only one I have for an event in 2 weeks. This is a charity event where friends of players can donate and buy things like extra dice, re-rolls, extra warlord traits and stuff so this should be a lot of fun and for a good cause. But I'm not very good at making army lists in a short amount of time. Does anyone care to help or at least supply ideas?

Remember, I only have 1 of each box, and maybe the FW Abaddon 30k model.

I don't think you can make a war coven with Only those releases. (It would help if you listed them)

A CAD could be


Hq exalted sorcerors
ahriman

Elite
Scarab occult

Troop

Rubricae
Tzaangor

Low
Magnus

Comes to 1500 ish, given 350 pts for upgrades .
This is playable, but probably difficult given the large amount of psychic management needed.

You definitely want to be taking the sorcerors and Ahriman in their formation for 3+ casting.

What other chaos stuff do you have?
Daemon princes?
CSM?
Cultists?
Rhinos?
LoC?
Pink Horrors?
Sorcerors?

You won't be able to run an affective TS detachment with just one of each box so you'll need to bring either a CSM or Daemon CAD/Formation with your TS.

Right now I have a DP, but nothing else other than what was released the day 1ksons came out. I gave away all my chaos stuff. I also have the FW Abaddon vs what's his face.

I was thinking of:

Ahriman on disc
1 Exalted Sorc on disc
10 rubrics
5 termies
Magnus
Chaos triple las pred

it comes up to 1851 with some upgrades

That list won't be winning any tournaments but it might be the best you can do with what you have.
I still maintain that Ahriman's and Magnus' formations where they give sorcerors/DPs casting on a 3+ is very good but might be a bit expensive for your army.

Good luck, have fun.
