Hello everyone,
I got in a fun game with my Chaos recently against Admech with a knight. I used one of the possible OFCC lists I'm considering: Night Lords with Zerkers and Daemon Engines and Renegades and Heretics with oodles of Militia and Marauders.
Here are some photos
My opponent's line before the game
My line (at right) on Turn 1
Night Masque CSM Squad and Lobo's 2nd Militia Squad hold an objective before the game begins
Various and sundry R&H Militia, Marauders, Enforcers, and Renegade Commanders mill about on my left flank before the game begins
His knight bashes Deffy upside the head
BloodLady the Blood Slaughterer responds and slices 15 wounds off the knight
Azrath hacks 3 wounds off the knight with his Daemonic Axe
And Deffy gleefully finishes off the knight, which promptly blows up in his face
Elsewhere my Marauders hold up his assault walkers for 2 or 2 turns, "In it for the Money" is a fluffy and effective rule
My 3rd Militia involved in a slapfest with a Vanguard Squad
Azrath reaches the enemy line and then gets gunned down
And Squad BloodTongued reaches the enemy line to also get gunned down
While my sentinel, Renegade Commander Buzzsaw, and the remnants of Lobo's 2nd Militia Squad get chopped up by 4++ save troopers
And my sentinel "Star of Chaos" which is still WIP gets bashed by Admech assault walkers
It was a fun game and I learned stuff. My army was slaughtered to a man. My 8th Edition Chaos record is now 6 wins and 21 losses. I'm really enjoying using Daemon Engines and hordes of R&H so you'll see me bringing some sort of rendition of that to this year's OFCC.
Take care,
Tallarn Commander
PS I'm working on some test color swatches for painting Deffy. He'll be green of some sort. I used oil paints for the first time on these swatches. Here is an image of my possible greens that I'm considering.

Panel 7
And the blue panel I will use on my R&H sentinels and Leman Russes
Enjoy the photos!
