Must have units: FTW Collaborative Post

For my Iron Hands this is a simple and much underused choice, Close Combat Scouts. I tend to run a full unit of ten including a Sergeant with a Power Fist, it is a bargain for a whole 165pts. They are so versatile and are a ideal speed bump, especially as mine tend to be Stubborn (via Lysander or Pedro), couple that with Pedro's Inspiring Presence and they have 36 WS3 S4 attacks and 4 WS4 S8 Power Fist attacks on the charge, its enough to put a serious dent in almost any unit.

Considering my Dwarfs this again is a simple choice a unit of 18 Ironbreakers. This provides a good solid heart to my forces, couple that with a runic banner and either a Lord or BSB and they are very hard to shift.

WIP Lord on Khorne on Juggernaut Part 2

My Lord/Hero is starting to come along, the main colurs are blocked out and i am now planning to build up the layering especially on the red and brass. I decided on red armour over the black more through personal choice especailly as it works well with the brass juggernaut.

WIP Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut Part 1

This is the first wip of my lord/hero for my WoC army.










I decided to have my Juggernaut primarily in Brass to fit in within its Brass Behemoth rule with silver piping and chainmail. I plan to use Red as a spot colour on any icons of Khorne and Chaos.


My lord will either be in red or black armour i havent yet finalised which i will choose.

Planning Warriors of Chaos Part 1

Anhur the Black's Death Eaters (v.4)

Well after 4 years i am finally going back to my Warriors of Chaos. I first played them in 5th Edition with a joint Khorne/Tzeench army, then i progressed to a pure Khorne Army. When Hoards of Chaos was released i did another small Khorne Army. Now in this 4th incarnation i am unsure wether to go balanced with regards to infanry/cavalry & combat/magic or just a pure Khorne cavalry force.

These are the 2 lists i am currently considering

V1 Cavalry
Lord, Mark of Khorne, Shield, Juggernaut, Collar of Khorne, Bloodskul Pendant
Exalted Hero, Mark of Khorne, BSB, Shield, Barded Chaos Steed, Fury of the Blood God
3 x 5 Marauder Horsemen, Mark of Khorne, Flails
8 Knights, Full Command, Baner of Rage
7 Knights, Full Command, Mark of Khorne
20 Warhounds (either 2 x 10 or 4 x 5)
Scyla
2 Spawn, Mark of Khorne
alt. Remove Scyla and 1 Spawn for a Khorne Warshrine


V2 Balanced
Lord, Mark of Khorne, Shield, Juggernaut, Collar of Khorne, Bloodskull Pendant
Exalted Hero, Mark of Khorne, BSB, Shield, Fury of the Blood God
Sorcerer, Level 2, Spell Familiar
2 x 20 Marauders, hand weapon, Great Weapon, Light Armour, Shield, Full Command, Mark of Khorne
15 Chaos Warriors, Shields, Full Command, Mark of Khorne
4 x 5 Warhounds
5 Marauder Horsemen, Flails, Mark of Khorne
5 Knights, Full Command, Banner of Rage
Warshrine

Back to Fantasy

Well after several months i have finally started playing Fantasy again. I had a good game with my Magic Defence Dwarfs against a Magic/Shooting heavy Tzeench Daemons (it was a list designed to take on a Vilitch, Magic heavy Tzeench Warriors of Chaos list, a game which is now delayed untill next week). I had a good solid victory, my 3 main blocks (Ironbreakers, Longbeards and Warriors) were cut down to well below half, but they broke 50 horrors despite a hail of Magic and Fire whilst my Cannons, Flame Cannon and Goblin Hewer took out the 3 Disc Heralds, Flamers and Bluescribes. I think i shall try and altrernate more frequently between 40k and Fantasy.

Speaking of Fantasy i am now delaying the planned Beasts of Chaos until next year, i have decided to reboot the Warriors of Chaos i played in 5th and 6th Edition. I have bought the Khorne Lord on Juggernaut to paint whilst i plan and develop the army list. I have also plans to start this at 2k as well as developing 2k of Daemons then 2k of Beasts all dedicated to Khorne.
