So I recently received two Monsters of Chaos (a Chimera and a Slaughterbrute) from a friend in exchange for Sayl the Faithles and Nightmaw. I've been working on my Slaves to Darkness army for quite some time, and I thought it might be fun to come up with a list themed around my new critters. It's kind of inspired by the lore behind the upcoming Norsca faction for Total War: Warhammer: a group that hunts and tames monsters for combat. Here's what I came up with:
Allegiance: Chaos
Leaders:
Chaos Lord on Manticore - General, Spiteful Destroyer and Daemon Weapon
Daemon Blade, Runeshield, Mark of Nurgle (for 3+ save), also counts as a Behemoth
Darkoath Chieftain
Battleline:
Chaos Warriors x20
Hand Weapon and Runeshield, Champion, Musician, Banner Bearer
Chaos Marauders x20
Axes and Shields, Champion, Musician, Damned Icon
Chaos Marauders x20
Axes and Shields, Champion, Musician, Damned Icon
Behemoths:
Slaughterbrute
Bound to Chieftain for maximum Mortal Wound potential
Chimera
Chaos Gargant
Other:
Gorebeast Chariot
Exalted Charioteer, Greatblade
Gorebeast Chariot
Exalted Charioteer, Greatblade
Chaos Marauder Horsemen
x10 Javelins, Champion, Banner Bearer, Musician
Khorgorath
I doubt I'd be able to handle FOTM/Min-max lists, but I feel like this list could deal some pain. Lots of monsters, lots on wounds, bodies to throw at objectives (Marauders and Warriors), mobility (flyers, chariots, horsemen), and some reliable mortal wounds. Only things I'm really missing are magic and shooting, but Chaos doesn't really have many options for the latter. I may actually double up on banner bearers/damned icons for the marauder units so I can get both +1 Bravery (Like it'll make a difference) and wound rerolls. So any thoughts or suggestions?
*Edit* GHB2017 made a couple things cheaper, so added a Khorgorath to fill out the list.
