Hey guys,

here's my list of the day. It's just an adaptation of my successful Tzeentch comp army, using the big bird ARK himself instead of Magnus. I know it's strong as not much of the core of the list has changed, but my god ARK is a beast, so it's arguably even stronger than the original list. And it happens to look amazing on the table as well (:

Your list looks table or bust. Even with brimstone horrors you'll have a hard time winning objectives. If it's KP you're probably fine. Though why bother with heldrakes if you're adding FW, just go for Helltalon's or something else with more relevant guns right?

I'm not sure how many games you've played with the Baleflamer drakes in 8th, but I think they are one of the best units in the game again. They provide much needed mobility and tie-up capabilities in this list. Overall they just fit the scheme nicely, too.

do you feel comfortable against "horde" style lists? i mean orks IG or tyr for example.

Do you think it would be alright to use the new lord of change model as Aetaos'Rau'Keres? they use the same size base, and are close in size.

Who is Aetaos'Rau'Keres? Where I can found his rules?

You need fw manual for his rules

Thanks! Does fw manual valid in a tournament?

I have seen some Bat Reps with ARK and he seemed a bit underwhelming, I'd personally still go with Magnus over ARK.

Depends on the tournament.

Brimstone horror cast split on a +5, right?

Yes and if they are successful a brimstone model is killed

His rules can be found in the new Imperial Armour - Index: Forces of Chaos.

As was mentioned; it depends on the tournament and the organizer, but as for ITC, as of right now; yes.

I tried a similar list but just Magnus instead the big bird and a dp instead herald and only 2 drakes, with spared points i got 2 predators laser and bolters plus a comptemtor dreddy dealing mortal wounds (just to keep the list theme) it worked fine
