Hey all, just curious what people's thoughts were. best value super heavy for a daemon heavy chaos army that is primarily tzeentch, but almost as much khorne.
(and yeah, out of ~5000 points, i have roughly 15 marines (including lords/sorcerer… and 20 cultists)

not big on vehicles, but i like walkers.

so for the money, which one is the most fun? (by whatever definition)

While I don't run superheavies myself, but I hear that a warhound scout titan with turbolasers is the way to go if your gonna roll chaos superheavies competitively.

Most fun though, I like the idea of the Lord of Skulls. Though in no way competitive, the idea of a tracked death machine beating things to death with a gigantic cleaver is fun to think about. Plus the idea of a cannon shooting skulls at people that proceed to gnaw on the them after exploding in their face just makes me smile.

Typhon hands down. 370pts (with ceremite) for a vehicle which puts down a st10 ap1 7" ignores cover, primary wrapon, blast at 48" if it didn't move and 24" if it did. It also has +1 on the thunderblitz table which is massive! And with av14 all round, 6hps and ceremite, it is pretty durable!

isn't the typhon listed in all the imperial stuff on forge world's site? or did a new book come out saying it's/those are green lit for chaos?

yes, but this makes me smile


anyone psyched on an'ggrath? the big LoC seems just… too ridiculous really...

The typhon is very points efficient. I do love the brass scorpion tho, and it's new formation is very cool

Typhon.

Probably the Typhon.

And the Bras Scorpion is better Than the Lord of skulls.

Just keep things out of its butt.

New formation for the brass scorpion? Do do tell me more :-)!

Hellforged hunting pack

Fits in 1850 just. Horde of daemonengines. Get more attacks as they die.
Also generate blood points, so can summon infantry

Awesome. Apocolypse only right?

I don't have the book to confirm, but it has the normal formation symbol, and not one of the apocalypse only symbols, so I assume they are all just ridiculously big formations.. .

What can an opponent actually do at 1850pts (or 1800 at the cheapest) about 8 maulerfiends and a GBS charging them by T2???

Um. Well it's not massively dissimilar to 5 knights..

True.
