I used to play a 2000 khorne list before, that REALLY was bad.. 12 warriors that never did anything.. 5\6 knights that usually did everything.. 1-2 chariots .. did decent.. chaos lord who was.. almost useless.. and so on! I always wanted to make a list like this one.. but never got it down really.. after being away for like.. 5-6 years from the game, i kinda wanted to see what people think of it..
im also not 100% sure if the list is legal.. or so.. and if the points are right, but im 99% sure

so..

Lords: 325

Chaos lord: 325
MoN, Enchanted shield, crown of everlasting conquest, favour of the gods, dispel scroll

Heros: 360

Dragon: 360


Core: 510

5x Marauder Horsemen: 90
throwing axe, light armor, flail

5x Marauder Horsemen: 96
Musi, throwing axe, light armor, flail

5x Marauder Horsemen: 96
Musi, throwing axe, light armor, flail

6x Marauder Horsemen: 114
Musi, throwing axe, light armor, flail

6x Marauder Horsemen: 114
Musi, throwing axe, light armor, flail


Special: 805


5x Chaos knights: 285
Standard, musi, Nurge, Warbanner

5x Chaos knights: 260
Standard, musi, Nurge

5x Chaos knights: 260
Standard, musi, Nurge

Total points: 2000

So the lord obviously goes on the dragon, i read somwhere that the list setup is changed, that 25% can be heroes, 25 lords, 25 rare, 50 special and 25 is minimum for core? is this correct? thats why i got so many marauder horsemen

the point of the list is that, i remember how HARD my 1 unit of chosen knights hit before, and sometimes destroyed total armies (was khorne knights tho).. so yeah, the point is to move the lord safely as possible to the flank of the enemy army, then hit the enemy army hard right on with my knights, flanking with the dragon.. the marauder horsemen are mostly to cover the core need, but they are fine flankers, and harassers! I got REALLY bad magic defense, I KNOW.. but i got a LOT of hitting power to make up for it.. 15 knights, 27 horsemen and lord on dragon with regen, 2+ save, should hopefully save me.. BTW: is the dispel scroll legal on the lord?

I also did consider dropping a unit of knights for dragon ogres with additional handweapon.. I used these before in my old list, and they did wonders, for soaking up dmg and dealing it.. with 3-4 thats a lot of wounds added.. but if would destroy the theme a little..

First of: is the list legal?
second: Is this kind of list stil viable? I know it would totally RAPE most other armies back when i played, but im not so sure of the new rules so?
and yeah.. all critisisme is welcome!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3848905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3848905.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3851852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3851852.page GMT Also, the points of the dragon count against the lord as well, so you cannot take a dragon and that lord at 2000 points. The FAQ explains you ignore the takes a hero slot thing for dragons.
You lord has a 1+ save, 8th edition gives you +1 to armor save for being mounted on anything, included monsters.


Is it viable? Not really. 8th edition has steadfast. If an opponent has more ranks than you, he's stubborn. With no depth, I think you'd see you units get tied up, the fast cav getting killed, and then things finishing off the knights.
Dragon is good, but more like a 3,000 point game choice.

I mean in other editions did combat go to the best stat line or did spells cast themselves without any draw backs?

Yes there is a lot of luck involved so just turn the odds in your favor.

How ever I do suggest this edition it is quite fun (yes there is cheese as always) if you don't play against some cheesey opponent. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856178.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856178.page GMT MSU style you're proposing is more difficult to use that the en vogue big blocks. YOu will need to rely more on redirection and setting up multiple charges to get by.

Maybe replace some of your core with Warriors and use Warhounds for screening/redirecting? You lose some mobility, but gain a bit more survivability. I reckon stick with it, but then I like the idea of MSU!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856286.page GMT dont know why]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426340/3856702.page GMT
