Vampire Lord
Seed of Rebirth
Charmed Shield
Heavy Armor

Baby Necro
Lvl 2 Death
D-Scroll

30 Skeletons banner of swiftness and full command

2x 20 zombies

Mortis Engine

5 Crypt Horrors

So the idea is to Snipe the chariot and the character, Horrors hammer the DPs and/or the Swordmasters while the Skellies anvils, Zombies covers the flanks? Or maybe I should use the CHs for anvil... otherwise that CR is going to be a bitch

I now must go into exile as a chaos dwarf player.... I lost my destroyer to a damn chaos giant

It's a sign you need to give up on the dworfs and go back to vamps more O_O
 
Thems the breaks sometime. How did it go down?
In my first game with my Destroyer, Empire buddy stole initiative, shot my destroyer with a cannon, wounded with the reroll, failed ward, and he rolled that precious 6!
Fret not Johnny, next game with my CD, my buds plague furnace/monk horde was picked up on turn 2!

I was just thinking of putting a giant into my list istead of one of the chimeras since they panic so easily. :)

Thump with freaking club. Also giants lost ignore panic yorga

Hmm...thought they were ITP? Well, a lot less likely to panic with stubborn 10 than the Chimera at ld 5.
 
They do cause Terror, but Panic is the bane of their existence, for sure. Hence why you need a flying Daemon Prince to ensure they are within the Ld bubble at all times.
 
The list looks so fun and fast to play but has a terrible Achilles heel. People are panicking needlessly. Chaos in general is much more suseptible to panic now.

More importantly... When the DP perishes-panic avalanche! Or at least the remainder of the monster mash is scream bait.

When? I believe you mean if. Even screamers are going to have a tough time bringing a lore of death Mark of Nurgle, geared up DP down - he can blast them with death magic, and is just as manouevreable as TGs (bar the lack of ability to scream).

Edit: 869th post! WOOHOO! DoN NUMBERS FTW!!!
 
It's going to be rather tough to swing that IMO, unless your opponent screws up. The Panic bubble on a destroyed unit is only 6" - it's pretty easy to keep them that far away from other things, and have the Daemon Prince within 12" for Leadership purposes. However, if you can cramp their spacing in a later turn such that they can't avoid it, that could be a potent tool.
 
Finally someone who agrees with me on the chimera's and the monster mash chaos spam. There is a ton of net talk on these things that I too think will wane as players as you say remember cannons and good god LD 5 chimeras.... without ITP.... These guys are total scream and death snipe bait. The DP on the other hand is a tad scary.. I plan on a nurgle one myself just cause he's great for the cost. I'm starting to see a lot more folks look at the chariots, both core and special, forsaken, and to a degree, the gribbles in rare. The cannon to me is just an over rated stone thrower. granted it's an answer to gribbles and hordes but it costs a nice lot that could be a shaggoth or a brute as, yes here in scottsdale, folks are liking the brute since with a DP he's LD 9 and WS 9. Thoughts johnny?
 
I agree I like giants. I also like shag..goths... both look nice now.

Why the hell cannon? It doesn't seem that different to me or am I missing something?

What do you think of the forsaken now, being in core and with all they do? I've seen them on the table. Not bad...

Mauraders make me laugh now. So many tears at my FLGS
 
That is why hellcannons are good. They barely changed as far as shooting goes though they do suck as an assault piece now.

Forsaken with MOK backed up by Lore of Nurgle is the bees freakin knees

Marauders are balanced now. Folks are just pissed that they are not 2 point models with 16 attacks anymore.
