So new shiny Warhammer - Warriors of Chaos Army Book - how will it change my normal 2400pt Army that I've been using... Lord Chaos Sorcerer, Lvl4, Mark of Tzeentch, Talisman of Preservation (45) #No longer have access to Infenal Puppet (35) ==> becomes Dispel Scroll (25) -- 370pts ==> 355pts Hero Exalted Hero, Battle Standard Bearer, Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, Talisman of Endurence (30) -- 180pts ==> 178pts Core 1 x Chaos Warriors (19), Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, Musician, Standard Bearer, Champion -- 354pts ==> 353pts 1 x Chaos Warriors (18), Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, Musician, Standard Bearer, Champion -- 338pts ==> 336pts Special 1 x Chaos Knights (5), Mark of Khorne, Ensorcelled Weapons, Musician, Standard Bearer, Champion -- 280pts ==> 255pts 1 x Chaos Knights (5), Mark of Khorne, Ensorcelled Weapons, Musician, Standard Bearer, Champion -- 280pts ==> 255pts 1 x Chaos Warshrine, Mark of Tzeentch #Note: moved from Rare to Special in new army book -- 150pts ==> 135pts Rare 1 x Hellcannon -- 205pts ==> 210pts 1 x Skullcrushers (4), Ensorcelled Weapons -- 240pts ==> 312pts Total 2397pts ==> 2389pts So got 11pts left to add Chaos Mutation to my Sorcerer Lord = Third Eye of Tzeentch (10) So overall army has not changed much, loss of Infernal Puppet makes Miscasts a worry now; no more 6 dice Infernal Gateway.... Plus price drop across most models except the Skullcrushers which have gone up +18pts each - no real surprise as they are very effective with so many Str5 attacks and the FAQ making them T5 due to using mount toughness - still only 2 wounds each so roll a few '1's on armour save and the unit is gone. Future changes - maybe dropping the Hellcannon but what to add? Can't fit another unit of Skullcrushers without dropping the Ensorcelled Weapons. Add Slaughterbrute bound to my Exalted Hero? As to the Book - Robin Cruddace > You Star, very well done - balanced but still interesting options. What do others feel? |

The skullcrushers are now t4 but have 3 wounds to compensate |

Your quite right, missed that change!! My eyes must have glazed over. Still gaining a wound vs T5 - not a big issue, just means low strength models can hurt the Skullcrushers and then bounce off the 1+ Armour save. Though as I have mananged to roll multiple 1's when rolling to save before - I'm still likely to lose a couple of Skullcrushers in a combat.... |

My little gripe is that though he is still able to challenge scyla does'nt have the eye of gods rule and as a consequence don't get to make a roll on the table. This is also true of daemon princes and kholek. Who knows what will be in the errata, if at all.... |

I doubt princes or scyla will get to roll on the eye of the gods as they have ended their quests in deamonhood and spawnhood . Im a big fan of the book, mark of nurgle is nasty on a WS9 deamon prince. I can see lots of builds from the books. Big thumbs up from me. |
