3000 points army.

Here is a different take on a Warriors of Chaos list. This is more of a fun/strange build, and no where near as competitive as the earlier list I had posted. That said, if someone was not prepared for it, it could pose some very serious challenges. It is definitely weak in terms of magic, having only a single level 2. The list is also very character heavy, which comes with the usual drawback that they are competing for magic items/gifts, and therefore, slightly sub-optimal.

What do the list does have though is flight... and lots of it. We're talking 7 units/characters with the fly special ability. This gives the list an undisputed advantage it terms of mobility. While an army like the Skaven have a banner that could ground the army, most armies will have no choice but to concede the movement advantage. The WoC player will dictate the matchups. The Chimeras can work in tandem with the Daemon Princes, forming attack groups of 1 DP + 2 Chimera. Alternatively, if the opponent has war machines, they can split off and make very short work of them.

Exactly 25% of the list made up of Lord selections, so I can't legally add anything to them in a standard game. If instead, the 50% Lords/Heroes End Times rules are used, then I'd drop the breath weapon off the Chimeras and Poisonous Slime off the BSB (saving me 75 points in total), which I'd then use to bump the level 2 DP up to a level 4.

Where is good old @Lizards of Renown when you need him?

Surely @Killer Angel and @Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl might be persuaded to share some of their insights. (maybe even @Imrahil if coaxed enough).

Eager to post my next army list... one featuring a newly acquired model!

No worries. Short Story crunch time?
