Looking for feedback on this army. Still in the building phase and this is intended to be my core. After this 1000 points I'll be looking into more things to add, but for now this is what I'm aiming for.



Strategy is basically move forward and try to engage the enemy. Nothing fancy. Some javelins for a small amount of ranged power. Chaos chariot is fast moving close combat support, chieftains try to kill stuff. Am I too basic? Do I need some sort of trick added?


New list per newest post:

Darkoath Warqueen (80)
- General

Darkoath Chieftain (80)

40 x Chaos Marauders (200)
- Axes & Shields

40 x Chaos Marauders (200)
- Axes & Shields

5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield

5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield

1 x Chaos Chariots (80)
- Greatblades

1 x Chaos Warshrine (180)

Looks like a solid highly-mobile glass cannon force for small games. The points costs for the Heralds were leaked earlier this week and it looks like the Warqueen will be 80 points as well, so you may consider replacing one of the Chieftains with the herald for extra hero killing potential and charge rerolls.

Well, I learned a bit more today and I have revised my list. I'll put it in this post and edit it into the one up there.

The original list would be the same except that both marauder groups are 40. With this new knowledge, I changed things up a bit.

Darkoath Warqueen (80)
- General

Darkoath Chieftain (80)

40 x Chaos Marauders (200)
- Axes & Shields

40 x Chaos Marauders (200)
- Axes & Shields

5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield

5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield

1 x Chaos Chariots (80)
- Greatblades

1 x Chaos Warshrine (180)


So, this new list lets me buff the giant marauder groups with the chance to ignore wounds plus re-rolls. I have less horses and so less javelins, but I'm thinking that the shrine will be enough of a boon to offset that.

Any thoughts?
