    So, I decided to write up a Warriors of Chaos list based on my collection. The intent was to create a themed list using almost my entire collection. The theme is based around a future (discounting End Times) chaos invasion lead by the bastard children of Lord Mortkin from the Slaughter at Volganof narrative. 15-20 years in the future, prompted by a coven of chaos sorcerers following their own agenda, the twin offspring of Mortkin invade Ostland to avenge their father. As it is a themed list, not all of my unit choices were made with the intent for them to be overly effective on the tabletop.

    A nice thematic list you have there... no massive Warrior deathstars, Skullcrusher stars, uber-Daemon Princes or cheese Lord builds. Exactly the sort of lists players should be coming up with.

    Not a full expert on Warriors so can't help out with the specifics, but it's something I certainly wouldn't object to writing a 9000-point list to play a friendly game against (if I had that much of one army of course :p)

    You've earned my respect, sir. May your fun list tell a suitably grand story of Mortkin's twins!

    I remember a battle report from a white dwarf years ago, 20+ years or so, where one of the players said "it's a greater thrill to win with whatever you have rather than what you wish you could have" or something to that effect. It's stuck with me ever since.

    I love the themed list! But 9000 points is so big that I almost can't get my head around it.

    What would you take if you had to make a 2400 point version, but keeping roughly the same overall theme? Perhaps a small vanguard element of this bigger army?

    I did write quite a few smaller lists with a map based campaign idea in mind. I was trying to break them down based on contingents themed around the followers of 2 gods with an undivided character and/or undivided/monstrous units to represent an emissary or emissaries of Mortkin's bastards. Like the Nurgle and Slaanesh units were one army, Khorne and Tzeentch were the core of another and a third army was mostly unmarked/Undivided.

    Well I'd love to see some of those smaller lists. I mainly play 2400 so that's what I have a good feel for.

    Very cool with the combined Slaanesh/Nurgle theme. Would love to play this with my Saurus-focused lizard force!!
