scottshoemaker Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Mainly because I can go with a small amount of models. So, I'm going with Chaos Warriors, Knights, and a General on a Dragon (again, because I want to) I hear big monsters are cool. Maybe dogs. What else?

Romes Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 You'll probably want at least 2 core chariots. They're good and versatile. If you want to run a dragon they actually get even better, because they provide target saturation for a limited number of cannon shots.

MexicanNinja Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 People are going to hate me for this. A unit of 3-4 juggernaughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's easier to list the loser units than the good ones. Forsaken suck the ticklebag That is all. Everything else is either situational to fantastic. Play the models that appeal to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm also a lazy painter, so I figured as many guys in cans as possible. 3 units of 18 warriors? 2 wizards, BSB and said Lord. Chariots would be OK too. Juggers are big cans, so they could be in. Is that a decent start? No book, and I haven't played in 3 editions so I'm totally winging this build outta my butt.

Fixxer Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ditch the warriors, If you are going to rock a dragon I would recommend small units of forsaken, marauder horse, dogs, and then of course core chariots so that you can litter the battlefield with chaff and smash. This will allow you to out-deploy your opponent to know exactly where your dragon will be most effective in the battle. It will cover the core tax and those units are fast allowing you to put yourself in the battles you want while chaffing anything that could disrupt your main attack. This also makes your opponents shooting/magic phases more difficult in that they will have too many fast targets and not enough turn to affect them all by the time they hit home. I think a Khorne/Slaanesh mix would suit this theme. Forsaken are completely underrated in lists like this. M6 T4 4+... core... units of 5...as many as you want.... yes, please. Id go Slaanesh on these for the swiftstride. Marauder Horse are best as Slaanesh given you CAN flee with them without caring about panic. Khorne Chariots for sure Khorne Knights Doggy dogs -I would not upgrade them at all, I preserve dogs for later round flank denial. 2 wide is totally legal. Gotta agree with MexicanNinja on the Juggernutzz as well. Multiply these choices as necessary... Bring that dragon, a bsb, and a lv2, youre smashing face proper in WARHAMMER FANTASY BATTLES ...the best game ever. My 2 Cents... ******I had a great weekend playing Warhammer with all you guys AND gals. Thank you OFCC volunteers and crew, you put on a great event as always.

scottshoemaker Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 So what should I equip a lord on a dragon with? Does he really need much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanNinja Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 So what should I equip a lord on a dragon with? Does he really need much? The builds can vary depending on what you want to do with the lord; however, I would always put a ward save on him. Heck, I'd even make him mark of tzeentch with the 3+ ward save. This will allow the rider to at least live when his dragon is shot from under him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm going for a parody of a bretonian army, so The lord can just be combat generalist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Chaos lords really don't need to blow out on gear, thanks to stat line. I'd go something bargain level like lance/ enchanted shield. Anything else is over kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yeah if your are doing a parody go chaos knights and marader Calvary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 So far I locked in a lord on a dragon, 2 units of 18 warriors. I just need to decide how I'm doing my black armor. I fancy black with chipped metallic edges, bronze trim with a green patina, and glowing green visors. Ooh spooky... Maybe sprinkle in some crushed brettonian shields here and there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Now on to transporting these lugs. I would really like to use metal movement trays and magnetize my bases. That way the unit stays together when I'm pushing it around, but I'd also like to pack them in foam that way, too. Anyone have any experience with this? Individual compartments for a unit of fantasy guys is just tedious, plus it makes set up faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Yes. Shogun miniature trays are what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romes Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 My gaming group uses these with the cardboard removed and "cabinet liner" added. Works well as long as you don't have to take them on a plane or something. And cheap! *seconded on shogun for the actual movement trays! http://www.amazon.com/Snapware-Oranament-Seasonal-Storage-Square/dp/B000630F7E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1412969494&sr=8-4&keywords=ornament+storage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 An update. I want unmarked (generic chaos). I also want to minimize my effort on this force as it's just for fun. I did however "less Khornify" a unit of Juggernaughts. They'll be black to match the army. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
