According to all the chatter, we only have till Saturday before the FAQ kicks in and bans the wonder twins from using the Daemon Stratagems, so here's a list just for this week to have some fun with the new rules before the fun is outlawed again:

Battalion Detachment
HQ
Chaos Lord
-Jump Pack
-Plasma pistol
-Power axe

Sorcerer
-Jump Pack
-Plasma pistol

Troops
3xCultists


Battalion Detachment
HQ
Chaos Lord
-Plasma pistol
-Power axe

Exalted Champion
-Plasma pistol
-Power axe

Troops
Khorne Berzerkers
-Icon of Wrath
-Power fist + Chainsword
-4xChainsword + Chainaxe

Khorne Berzerkers
-Icon of Wrath
-Power fist + Chainsword
-4xChainsword + Chainaxe

Khorne Berzerkers
-Icon of Wrath
-Power fist + Chainsword
-4xChainsword + Chainaxe

2xRhino


Patrol Detachment
HQ
Herald of Nurgle

Troops
Nurglings


Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment
Magnus the Red


Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment
Mortarion

1991pts, 9CP

2CP to throw Magnus into deep strike, turn 1 Morty gets a 3++ during your opponents shooting for the tasty 3++/5+++ and Maggy drops down with Warptime to jump the bubble wrapping, Weavers for the tasty 3++ re-rolling 1s and either death hex or gaze of Magnus depending on the army. Nurglings and cultists grab objectives and the Zerker horde drives up the table with Morty to clear out whatever is left in Maggy's wake.

What do we think? Good? Bad? OP? Suggestions? Let me know!

Either get a sorcerer with warptime or Ahriman on disc to cast warptime onto Magnus. Yes Magnus can cast it upon himself but when he drops in, he could be within deny range. So having another model to cast it on him from behind that’s out of deny range is better. Also consider casting weaver of fates from Ahriman (another key power you don’t want to be denied).

Why not consider this:
Nurgle battalion:
Herald of Nurgle, fleshy abundance
Herald of Nurgle, miasma of pestilence
3 x 10 plaguebearers

Supreme commmand:
Anheiman on disc
Herald of tzeentch, staff of change
Herald of tzeentch, staff of change

Super heavy detachment:
Magnus
Morty
Renegade knight, reaper chainsword and thermal cannon

But yeah the FAQ will stop them using that strategm. It removes the one main weakness the Chaos primarchs have which is having to start on the table turn 1. You also only have 11 drops with the above list, greatly increasing your chances of the +1 to see who decides to go first.

Hmmm, I see what you what you mean but I'm counting on the Zerkers to counter horde armies: something that could really big down Magnus (and even Morty), your list doesn't really have that. Besides, positioning of Magnus can eliminate DtW attempts and I still have the sorcerer there to back up Maggy just in case. On top of that my list also has 11 drops (the entire WE detachment just counts as 2 inside the rhino).

But I don't know how strong DtW will be against this list, I might try out a second list with Ahriman instead.

Taking this is a fun list? Because you have 5 detachments lol

What? Is fun inversely proportional to the number of detachments in your army?

Pg 214 of the BRB recommends maximum 3 detachments for 1k-2k points, figured that was generally how people were playing (as most competitive lists don't go over 3 detachments). Guess it depends on the meta

Most competitive lists don't go over 3 because of ITC rules, but I don't play ITC.

you will never play that list in any kind of tournament, ITC or not, no one allow more than 3 detachment unless narrative/for fun games

Who restricts it to 3 detachments?

Most large events in the UK restrict to 3 detachments, majority of those don’t allow duplicating detachments.

please forgive me for having a stick to far up my butt... but this was the most important part of this post here.

Now i think fun would be direcrlt proportional to the number of detachments if you are infering from zid statement. As you having too many detachment is meaning you are having fun as opposed to i guess??? not having fun???(speaking of which do people not have fun at tournaments??? i love that stuff win or lose).

Any way so more detachment=more fun so it would be directly proportional no??/

Ah, now I see, I misread Zid's post.

NP

I always look for three detachments when I review lists, I figured it was a basic "all tourneys do this" thing. No worries!

I don't really play in tournaments that much and this list is just for this week as it may not be allowed after Saturday.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best But yes, your right. I think it was un-intended to be used on the Primarchs... of course, you never know.

Who restricts it to 3 detachments?

gw for matched play suggest at 2000pts max 3 detachments and in tournaments no one will allow more than this, and some wont allow duplicating detachement., never seen a major event allowing it.
