Hello,

I've played a few games with the new Tzeentch and I am struggling to find a good balance of wizards to boots on the ground. With the increased price in horrors, I no longer take piles of blues and brims from the get-go. Of course, I summon them like crazy once I can, but I find that the beginning two rounds I have VERY few bodies on the table, and fast armies can just get board control and tie me down, preventing me from getting objectives etc. So, I ask, does anyone have some experience with a good ratio or some recommendations on what to take as a sort of "core." My core is usually as follows:

Lord of Change
Gaunt Summoner
Blue Scribes
One additional wizard (Magister, Chaos Sorceror Lord, Daemon Prince etc)

Two units of 10 Pink Horrors
A blob of 15-20 Chaos Warriors.

From here my points are already really limited. I have experimented with Burning Chariots who NEVER do anything. Seriously they do like 2 wounds a turn it seems. I've tried adding just regular ol' brims and blues to fill points but they are just kinda meh. I dunno. I feel like I need something hard-hitting(besides magic) that can do reliable damage. I suppose some skyfires might be good (but I don't like Tzaangors really) but they are really expensive too :/ Even a Mutalith Vortex Beast sounds fun but not sure how good he/she/it really is.
