http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WoC list, I've been away from the game for a while. There's a 2k point tourney at the local GW store in March and I was thinking about fielding the following:

Lord-

Sorcerer Lord - 405pts
LVL 4
MoT
Disc of Tzeentch
Enchanted Shield
Infernal Puppet
Talisman of Preservation

Heroes-

Exalted Hero - 180pts
MoT
BSB
Talisman of Protection
Sword of Striking (I had 15 points left over)

Sorcerer - 210pts
LVL 2
MoT
Disc of Tzeentch
Power Familiar
Golden Eye of Tzeentch

Core-

19x Chaos Warrior - 379pts
MoT
Shields
FC
War Banner
(BSB goes here)

15x Chaos Warrior - 315pts
MoT
Halberds
FC
Banner of Eternal Flame

30x Chaos Marauder - 190pts
MoT
Great Weapons
FC

5x Chaos Warhound - 30pts

Special-

5x Chaos Knights - 290pts
MoT
SB, Mus
Blasted Standard

1999pts total

I'm wondering if the 15 warrior unit with halberds needs some beefing up (possibly getting shields for some shooting protection), I'm also wondering if the marauders should be run with shields to take advantage of Tzeentch-parry or left with some hitting power. I'm not sure what I'd drop to make any of these fit, the knights?

Open to all suggestions except detzeentching the army or adding a Hellcannon (I really don't like them for some reason)!
Thanks!

EDIT: As for lores I'll probably take Tzeentch on the level 4 and either Fire or Shadow for the Level 2.

You may want to kit him out more for defence or offence but you have to choose either or because half adding both will not do much. Chaos heroes are pretty strong as is and can usually give the lords of other races a run for their money. Don't be affraid to kit him out he will do your army lots of good, that is what I have learned from experience.

I would get more marauders they work better in 40+ in a unit. With mot might as well give em shields and run them 5 wide so they can hold up units.

Personally I have found that the halberd and flaming banner need a bit of help from a hero since they are not super Killy and I apparently can't roll to hit and to wound haha.

The shield warriors I would give the rapturous standard. It is cheaper and oh so effective.

Unfortunatly the casters are both tz marked so they both have to take lore of tz.
To get around this you could give the lvl2 third eye of tz so he can use your opponents spells.

Any shooting army will curse those knights it is quite funny.

Those are my thoughts. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426764/3856142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426764/3856142.page GMT BSB and dropped the power familiar. I shifted the BSB from the shield warrior unit to the halberd warrior unit. Everything about WoC is so expensive!

This should make the halberds a bit more of a "hammer" unit. I lose some items from my sorcerers but they should still be survivable and dish out serious damage. I thought about the 3rd Eye, but I figure for the points and at 2k, lore of TZ still at least gets me a magic missle and a utility spell, so it should work alright, I think at higher points I'll have the 3rd Eye on there (probably another sorcerer too).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426764/3856333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/426764/3856333.page GMT
18x Chaos Warrior -
MoT
Halberds
FC
Banner of Rage

Deployed 6x3, this unit has frenzy that it cannot lose, giving it 24 str 5 attacks without including the champion's extra attack. That's enough to make a mess of just about anything. A really good "hammer" unit.


15x Chaos Warrior
MoT
Shields
FC
Banner of Eternal Flame

Deployed 5x3, this is a really good anvil unit. The flaming banner adds some versatility.

If you have points left over you could increase either unit, but those are the minimums I would take.

Why not give them halberds as well? That way they have a good save against bows and such and shooting . In the fight they would loose an armor save, but gain the fact that you wounds on 4's 5's and 6's which helps a ton.
This way it is not too difficult to say kill a hydra or at least get it down to one wound left.
The banner also causes fear in beast and cav if I am not mistaken this making it easy to deal with cav because of the higher str and the possibility of fear giving them an advantage. These guys will also knock off some attacks from knights because most armies knights will be initiative 3 or 4. This could save you some high str attacks back.
So saying the best defense is a good defense
Point being the flaming banner is very effective with halberds.
