/wfg/ - Warhammer Fantasy general

Not the user asking for help, but I have to say taking a big wizard in small games gets lame easily. Either he does way too much or too little and the rest of the game feels insignificant.

I just presumed he was playing standard 8th ed, but that is a valid point user.

it's supposed to be an example list lads. something to build off. mainly to enthuse the dood to make his own list.
It's hardly ubermeta but I think it would go fairly well.
besides lvl 3 isn't a big wiz it's a competent wiz

Thanks for your dedication man! Well, I tried something, tell me what you think

One Hexalted hero with some stuffs for 135p, decent melee warrior but will probably join any infantry unit

One unit of 15 chaos warriors, full command, mark of slaanesh, 270p, the backbone of my army

Two units of 10 marauders with full command and heavy weapons, 130pt each, they will support the CW

5 hellstriders with full command 130pt, to hunt the fleeing troops or charge behind small unit

One slaughterbrute, 205pt, to smash and bash

1000pt at the end

NIGGA, DO YOU THINK I SIT HERE ALL DAY WAITING TO MAKE NEW THREADS???

Not other guy but I figgured someone did.

>It appears they were trying to end times the setting a lot earlier, a way to restart each army.

No you idiot, Warhammer was still more popular than 40k in 2004. The point of Storm of Chaos was to bring all armies closer to each other so you could find a reason why your Chaos army is fighting against Wood Elves.

I got this model nearly done.
What should I paint on the canvas?

Pretty sure that's just an Imperial artillerist.

hey user in battlescribe if you go to view roster you get that neat picture I posted which then you can save or print. It makes things a LOT clearer.

But from what you've given so far
1. an exalted hero makes for a fine general, the only thing though if you go into a match of warhammer without magic you are asking to be tabled.you can get away with it if none of your friends are using magic, but please choose a wizard if they are.
especially since chaos don't really have shooting much, so you'd be missing out on 2 of the three combat phases that make up the game.

2. what gear do your chaos warriors have? remember they have to pay for shields otherwhise just have handweapons, make sure your hero also has slaanesh if he's in the slaanesh unit

something else to note is they can also take shields and halberds (but can only use the shields +1 armour against range attacks+

Marauders: banners are a bit of an overkill on such small easy to kill units, perhaps have one unit of twenty with full command? (make them mark of khorne so they get extra attacks/frenzy)

Hellstriders: yeah they are good but die to missiles, remember that. I think they get to buy an always strikes first upgrade, nab that.

slaughterbrute: no idea here, if you like how it looks go for it my dude. thats the most important part.I had a quick skim at it's rules and it gets whatever weaponskill your lord/hero has?
give your hero a ws10 magic item then and laugh

also remember for saving money: chaos chosen can be simply chaos warriors with a real cool paintjob ;)

an upside down diagram of whatever warmachine you will be using him with(I presume you are using him as a master engineer right?)

I'd recommend combining your marauders, 10 men won't last long.
