Here is what I was thinking of;

Hero:
Lvl 2 Sorcerer w/MoT, Blood of Tzeentch, Conjoined Homunculus - 190pts

Core:
17x Chaos Warriors, Full Command, MoT, Hand Weapons + Shields, Blasted Standard - 362pts
13x Chaos Warriors, Full Command, MoK, Halberds - 268pts
5x Chaos Warhounds - 30pts

Rare:
Chaos Warshrine w/MoT - 150pts

Total: 1000pts

I think I might change the load on the sorcerer too. I need to look through the book again though.

How about this build?

Definitely keep the Blasted Standard around though. So good. So cool.

A solid list, though.

That was my bad on the book of secrets too. For some reason I was flipping the miscast chart in my head and thinking the lower numbers were better. Not sure what I would replace it with though, maybe drop the phylactery too for the crown of command. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271374.page GMT 1000pts WoC new to fantasy!

Book of Secrets now makes you a Level 1 Wizard; it's in the FAQ. The changes to BoS make it so that the only suitable candidates are exalted heroes or level 1 sorcerers.

The list itself seems fine; i'm not a huge advocate of Warhounds, especially since they don't break ranks anymore unless run in a unit of 10+ They're only really good at harassing flankers, but their lack of reliable armour means that it's easy for them to get shot to pieces; marauder cavalry is more reliable.

I'm tempted to say put the blasted standard on the halberd unit; your sword and board warriors already have a 3+/6++ against missiles, and since they're more of an anvil, they're going to be in combat for most of the game. Your halberds are menacing and deadly; perfect candidates for a stone thrower or bolt thrower etc. and since they're aimed at killing whatever they meet in combat, they'll provide a better target than your HW/S warriors.

Your sorcerer set-up seems fine from here. You might try to find a way of grabbing some sort of armour (since a chaos sorcerer is one of the rare wizards that can take magical armour) to defend against challenges (remember, your characters cannot refuse challenges and must issue them when possible); alternatively; you could swap out conjoined homonculus for stream of corruption.

Since breath weapons can now be used in combat (2D6 auto hits at the attacking model's initiative; in this case a solid 5), SoC can be used to devestating effect in challenges. Sure, it's S3, but it's 2D6 automatic hits with a nice -1 armour modifier. Since most challenges will come from 2 wound models at this points level, all but the hardiest should struggle to survive a good SoC.

The warshrine is fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271436.page GMT 1000pts WoC new to fantasy! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/335832/2271602.page GMT
