Now that my second regiment of Chaos Dwarf berserkers is finished, and my appetite for painting dwarfs is starting to fade, it's time to check where I stand in terms of points before launching a new project. The plan was to play a 6th Edition game with 1000 to 1500 army points, using my dwarfs as proxies for the Chaos Warriors army list from the Ravening Hordes supplement.
Characters
Luckily, I have already painted a Chaos Sorcerer (80 points) who can serve as the army general. As he stands atop a desecrated Anvil of Doom, I will give him a Chaos Warrior Chariot (+100), and a Chaos armour (+12), and upgrade him to Level 2 (+35), for a total of 227 points.
Core Units
My first, and for now only, regiment of Chaos Warriors includes a musician (+10), a standard-bearer (+10), and a champion (+10). I've also given them a shield (+1) and a Chaos armour (+2), for a total of 160 points.
My two regiments of Chaos Marauders also include a musician (+10), a standard-bearer (+10), and a champion (+10). It makes 70 points of Troll Biters and 90 points of Troll Eaters, as they have also a Great weapon (+2). Given the time spent painting them, that's a ridiculously low number of points 😩
Rare Unit
Last but not least, 3 Chaos Trolls, for a total of 150 points.
That only brings me to 697 points... Ugh... And I thought Chaos armies were easy to complete!
So, what's next? I have already converted a dwarf wizard (80 points) ready to support the army general. Although I'm not a fan of the sculpts, I also have the second trio of Marauder MM40 Trolls to paint, and at 50 points the model, they're worth the effort! Another quick win would be a Chaos Spawn (50 points), or, more exciting, an Aspiring Champion (70 points) riding a Dameon Steed as a Chaos Reward (50 points). And of course, I still have a bunch of unpainted MM90 Chaos Dwarfs that were my initial motivation for starting this army. We'll see!
Purée, ils ont de l’allure !
ReplyDeleteEt tu ne voudrais/pourrais pas faire une unité de chevaliers avec du nain monté sur poney ? Je ne sais pas si ça existait dans les vieilles figs Citadel. Sinon BoodWar en faisait (tout en métal).
Avec quelques conversions, ça fait un peu de temps à passer mais avec 5/6 modèles, de mémoire c’était assez cher en points. Tu dois pouvoir dépasser les 250pts avec l’état-major.
J'ai bien une unité de cavalerie en tête, mais je ne suis pas entièrement convaincu par la conversion du premier cavalier. Je vais voir si ça passe après peinture pour me convaincre d'en faire 4 de plus :p
DeleteThey look great
ReplyDeletethanks Neil!
DeleteThat's like a 3000 point army in 4th edition
ReplyDeleteMaybe. But I keep loosing with 4th edition rules. Willing to try 6th edition to see if it's me or the book :)
DeleteLove the style of these stunties!
ReplyDeleteHow about adding a Chaos Giant that the slayers bring along as a boast/trophy/travelling snack?
Those usually cost a bunch of points.
I will consider it. But the Ravening Hordes supplement does not allow this kind of addition 🤔
