Hey, trying to write up a full list before I commit to buying too many things I'm not gonna run with. Bellow is the total plan. Thoughts? suggestions? any experience with the rocket launchers? their probably the biggest mystery for m

- Warhounds charge, knights flank, this breaks up the flow of the enemies plan by pushing them early
- Deathshriekers I'm planning on constantly barraging enemies heavier units til they die, 36" range that doesn't need line of sight. Daemonsmith stands with them to buff their shots
- Other two other heros and the warriors progress to mid field and clean up anything making it through.

The rocket launchers actually seem quite potent, especially with 4 of them and their toughness is pretty good for artillery. The amount of dmg they can cause is pretty nice at quite a long range too. And the Daemonsmith will make them even better. Much needed range support for chaos I'd say, though I've never used them so don't quote me on it.

In my head, the big marching horde of warriors is really cool and satisfying and they're good units too. I'd possibly suggest giving them the halberds so the units of 10 can march in lines of 5 and attack over each other in combat for more attacks. Its pretty much up to you though as the hand weapons get 3+ to hit, which is nice.

Knights are awesome as, though I'd say arming one unit with the glaives and having a Lord on a demonic mount as your general to get off really devastating charges could be quite cool.

Nice army and will look really cool on the battlefield I reckon. All those knights flanking and the warriors marching up and the cannons firing from behind as the hounds sprint in and ravage the enemy sounds awesome.
Good luck!

adding in my two cents I would say add something big... like a Chaos Giant or a Warshrine... I like the Idea of them marching along with a giant beast of some sort being dragged along while the skies are lit aflame.

I'll take a look at the big monsters. I was thinking the list is missing a big center piece model XD ill need to pick some things to drop though to fit it too...

Also reading a few other reviews on chaos warriors i might go two units weapon and shield and two with great weapons so i can get some rend in the list.

Good to hear the shrieker tactics are reading ok to other people too. Ive never ever seen them so its purely theoretical atm. My first games this week at 500 points but that will be two warrior units and the sorcerer while i learn the game...
