Everything has Strength 5 or more, and is very scary in close combat.

I would have a Hell Cannon, or 2 but sadly I don't own one yet.

I am considering dropping the Shield on the BSB to give him Favored of the gods since I have two War Shrines?

Instead of the Horsemen I would go for a large block of Maruaders. 40 Marauders wtih FC, shields and MoT costs about 240. If they're deployed 5 X 8 then you should be steadfast for a long time. Without the large blocks of infantry to anchor your army you're going to run into problems.

The Warriors units are good, but I think you might want to bump it up to 18 per unit so you can get full supporting attacks for a few turns. Also get rid of the banner of wrath and take the razor standard. Having armor piercing attacks at s4 is going to net you more kills in the long run then a magic missle. Save the dice for your lvl4. I'd suggest taking out one exalted or a warshrine to find the points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893614.page GMT 2500 Warriors of Chaos needing advice. . .
Why the big fear of war machines? Cannons are only going to kill 1 fig per rank - losing 2-4 warriors per cannon is not a big deal. Mortars will mess up marauders, but WoC should be fine with a higher T and armour save. Most of your army should be charging on turn 2, maybe turn 3 at the worst.

Move the Lord out of the Knights. Last thing you want is a miscast to drop a S10 template on those 40pt figures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893756.page GMT 2500 Warriors of Chaos needing advice. . . MoT over MoN. It adds the same 12.5% protection against BS shooting, adds a 6+ save to canon/bolts, AND you still get that 6+ save in combat with the halberds.

Same with the Knights. MoT gives you the same 12.5% protection against BS shooting, but also gives a save against canons etc which are the bane of your small knight units. Plus you get a 6+ save in CC while still having frenzy . I love to do the MoT + BoR combo.

Having started in 7th with a cav list of WoC and expanding outward, I will say the same thing about the marauders. They are less useful in 8th. Take 1 unit with LA/axes/MoS and use them to vanguard and block enemy vanguard or to march block / harass units. If you want to take flails make a 2x5 unit and MoK them and get into CC soon as possible.

The disc EH are interesting, never ran one myself cause mainly I associated disc with keeping sorc alive and dangerously moving around. Basically gives you like pegasus riders lol. One thing though is I would drop blood of tzeentch on the lord. It was amazing in 7th, not so amazing in 8th when you get +5 to cast on a Lv4 MoT lord. In my experience you just don't fail to meet casting values....and an enemy will rarely borderline dispel. They will want to stop stuff like pandemonium and will throw a guaranteed amount at it. Then other stuff they will just shrug and let happen. You could also take the bronze armor instead of charmed shield + talisman and get a 3+ non magical ward save, and with dropping blood save enough points to add something else.

Warrior blocks need to be 18 if ur running 6 wide. You have to take into account you might lose 2-3 each turn from shooting, and you won't be in CC till turn 3 if your opponent is smart and avoids them. So you need to be able to lose 6 and still get your max attacks in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1893831.page GMT Re:2500 Warriors of Chaos needing advice. . . http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1894442.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1894442.page GMT Re:2500 Warriors of Chaos needing advice. . .

Check the FAQ on the blood, I am not 100% sure you can pickup a 6 to stop a miscast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1894683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314865/1894683.page GMT 2500 Warriors of Chaos needing advice. . . FAQ.
I used it to get off infernal gateway last night without cooking myself

It is an awesome arcane item... as it should be for a relic of Tzeentch!
