No specials, no spawn, few whistles or bells. And perhaps a little compact, but such is the cost of the Chaos Core. I've already got 850 points worth painted up or core alone now, which I was pleasantly surprised to learn.
The rough plan would be plod forwards with the two solid melee packs, keeping the chariots either as flanking guards or roaming assassins (depending on what war machinery or light cavalry might need dealing with) until they're engaged. Then flank extremely hard with as many simultaneous scythes as possible.
So basically the inverse of how I laid them out here. |
Have a cracking Woffboot, everyone! Hope to see you next time round.
Oops. I mean only 20 of the marauders, and the warriors don't get their pennant. Damn maths.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a solid army anyway. Those two combat blocks would cause everyone problems.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the Chaos Warriors are overkill though? Two blocks of ten would likely boss any close combat, with supporting chariot charges helping out against tougher prospects. A whole unit of 20 could be a points sink at this level, and just wouldn't have time to do enough damage to recoup their cost.
I like overkill. Nothing like leaving nothing but an empty movement tray in your wake to sow horror.
ReplyDeleteI see your point, though - more units and flexibility. But two units would be more expensive unless you're willing to forgo command, and thinking of the heavy hitting units of, say, ghouls, Big 'Uns, ogres or demons I might be up against, I'd prefer the bigger punch.
Bigger punch - would the be a HORDE of Bloodletters?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'd do it. Massacre, huh?
