Kingpin Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 So I recently picked up the Lord of Skulls kit and am working on converting up some legs for it. I want to use it along with my pile of berserkers I own. So here is my Khorne army... well sort of. Space Wolves HQ Lord on thunderwolf (Khorne Lord on Juggernaut) Elites 5 Wolf Guard Terminators, power axes and combi plasma (easy one, Chaos Terminators) Troops 4x 10 grey hunters in rhinos duel meltas (Khorne Berserkers) Fast Attack 15 fenrisian wolves (Khorne hounds) Heavy Support Land Raider Allies Imperial Knight (Lord of Skulls) 2000 points... ish So what do you think? Should be really fun to build after that who cares if it wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Heresy! But looks like a solid base of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galahad911 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 As long as you're cool with the lord running around solo it'll do well enough to not be a bad game unless you run into a nasty tournament army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord is with the Khorne Dogs, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah the hounds are the Lords extra wounds. It should b a fun way to make berserkers actually playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Looks fun. I might have to hack together some kind of Counts-As to use a Traitor Knight myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Brother Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sounds fun, regardless of the win factor. I do suggest modeling a Storm Shield for your Lord. So worth the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Angel Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 One question is this a SW army list using khone figs. Or a chaos list using SW figs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingpin Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah it is the only way I can run a Chaos Knight without using "come the apocalypse" allies. Also makes the berserkers not suck so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah it is the only way I can run a Chaos Knight without using "come the apocalypse" allies. Also makes the berserkers not suck so much. Grey hunters really aren't the SW equilvelent of berserkers, that would be the, lacking, blood claws The Plague Marines or Chosen are a much closer fit to this unit. Likewise, black legion or crimson slaughter would probably do "beserkers" better with chosen or possessed instead of the beserker rules. I do completely understand your desire to ditch the khorne beserkers, mostly just because of the CSM lack of viable assault transports... Still, the big question, why SW? Black Templar Chapter Tactics probably fit Khorne the best (With Crusader Squads easily becoming Beserkers). Blood Angels would cause the least confusion visually. Also, SW are really paying quite a bit more per marine than most other chapters - I may have it wrong, but that's my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Because they are the only army you can proxy a Thunderwolf Lord with a Juggernaut. And because Wolves still have a great rules set for Marines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 The real aim here is to use an imperial knight with my chaos army. The only way to do a chaos knight with out using come the apocalypse allies is to proxy the chaos marines as something other then chaos.

PourSpelur Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Taking models that don't make you happy and using them in a way that does? I support this. Now get cracking and post some Damn pics! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to do a chaos knight with out using come the apocalypse allies is to proxy the chaos marines as something other then chaos. Hmmm...I do see that point. Are the "come the apocalypse" rules really so bad that you dislike them that much? Or is it a dislike of other elements in the CSM codex? Personally, I've been working on CSM (BL) with SM allies just because I want to be able to field my Dreadclaws (Drop Pods), so I can certainly relate to being frustrated with GW's lacking CSM support. In my case, come the apocalypse doesn't really matter because my allies tend to drop, disrupt and die before the two forces conflict - I don't really have concerns regarding my deployment within 12" of each other since my allies begin in reserve. Another option would be to field khorne daemons as beserkers. Same issue with the come the apocalypse status of the titan, but just about the entire daemon army can deep strike, so keeping them away from eachother should be reasonably easy. I suppose, you could also just field the imperial knight as a Lord of Skulls (which is actually a pretty darn awesome titan in rules, but I hate the model because I don't play khorne).
