Hello Dakka,

I recently built a 2000 point Tzeentch list and got to try it out over the weekend. Certain aspects worked well and others... not so much. I am looking to replace and shift a few things and would like some advice.

The mainstay of my army is casters, horrors, and a big blob of 20 Chaos Warriors with shields. The Chaos Warriors act as my "anvil" so to speak. They are incredibly resilient. So, as the title suggests, I need a "hammer" unit to deal the damage once I have a few units locked in combat with them. I have plenty of medium strength shooting (horrors, burning chariots) as well as magic damage. But I need either a big monster to smash face, or a big unit of hard-hitters to smash face. Preferably something fast with rend and multiple damage. If it's a daemon, even better. My list, with the elements taken out is:

LEADER / BEHEMOTH

Lord of Change - 300
Warlord
Baleful Sword

Ogroid Thramaturge - 160

Gaunt Summoner with Familiars - 120 (100 w/o familiars)

Chaos Sorcerer Lord - 140

BATTLELINE

Chaos Warriors (20) - 360
Shield and Sword

Pink Horrors (10) - 140

Pink Horrors (10) - 140

OTHER

Burning Chariot of Tzeentch - 160

Burning Chariot of Tzeentch - 160

This gives me 320 points to play around with. Some options I have considered are:
- Daemon Prince of Tzeentch (160)
- Mutalith Vortext Beast (220)
- Blue / Brimstone Horrors for "split" rule and to link to a big caster monster for extra wounds. (50 pts /10 models and 40 pts/10 models) These are SUPER annoying to get rid of.
- Tzaangor Skyfires (160 / 3 models)
- Tzaangor Enlightened (160 / 3 models)
- Additional Burning Chariot (160) to make a squad of 3 and use the "Fold reality" spell to always ensure they are in good numbers.


Are there any other big units that could work? Should I swap out the Ogroid for the Daemon Prince in general? He keeps getting sniped before he makes it into combat (understandably).

Suggestions? Thanks.

Daemon prince (wings and sword obviously). The daemonic power spell from the chaos sorcerer does wonders with him. But the three-chariot unit plus folding reality when they have 1 left is also a nice option.
