Wait... I'm painting 1001 gnoblars and you're dropping marauder horse for dogs because you can't get them done in time? For shame! :b LOL

I think I want this to be in the 10-12 drop range because those chaos warriors can't afford to be put down and have no opponents across the board from them. Admittedly the marauders cav would get me there - but I'm old and have a baby at home and am working a lot of weekends. I think substituing 2 units of hounds and the dragon ogres or regular ogres lets me project some force, have some more crap deployments and do some of the fleeing and flanking (though the marauder cav are obviously better) With army lists due next week the marauder cav still shrink wrapped and me working a 80 hour week in the week leading up to the GT I think I'd rather set myself conservative goals than be painting in the hall the morning of

If you drink them all during the weekend, I'll get you (and only you) a human sized beer per gnoblar (minumum of 50 gnoblars).

I'll be so drunk I won't be able to drive home until tuesday - hmm that may be the best way to play this list.
What do you guys think about character load out. In particular the exalted hero on disc - should he get a flail and maybe the MR/ward save chaos gift. My theory is I can use him as a guided missile nerf stick against hydras/greater daemons. But when it's all said and done 4 x str 5 even with warshrine help probably won't get the wound through I need.
Here's the final list Valkia
Exalted hero MoT/Disk (30)/glaive of putrefaction/golden eye (50)/Shield 5 Sorcerer on foot, favor of the gods, enchanted shield, scroll. Sorcerer barded steed/1 scroll/one of the MR 2 items
Chaos Warriors/shield 15 full command (30)/Rapturous standard (25)/Mark of slaanesh Chaos warriors/shields/halberds 15 Full command (30)/banner of rage (35)
Chaos Hounds 5 chaos hounds 5 Chaos Hounds 5 Chaos Hounds 5
Forsaken 6 (I know crazy but I think they can work as flank and rear gaurds) Chaos ogres great weapons x 3
Giant Warshrine/MoT
The chaos hound aren't as good as marauder cav obviously but they up the deployments so I don't have to drop the chaos warrior bricks until I see where folks main battle line is really going to be. I also don't want to paint up marauders though I have three boxes shrink wrapped in my studio.
So is this MoT hero worth it or should I drop the glaive and give him say the missile weapon gift for antimarch blocker activity and a flail so he can put some minor hurt on big uglies before getting run over?
Doing the math without a warshrine boost he's got 4 attacks hitting on 2 and wounding on a bit less than one against most T6 nasties. With ward/armor saves I've got about a 1/10 or so chance of making the opponent T2 S2 With a warshrine boost on strength/attacks (rerolls from Valkia make getting the one I want more likely) the odds get better.
I think whatever I do he's a goner against any big nasty after the first turn - but if I can soften one of them up valkia's got a good chance with strength 7 to clean up afterwards.

Equal points of hounds is better than Marauder Cav.
However, you do need one more Core to get a legal list

Yeah. Dump the Forsaken for Marauder Cav and presto! Or just Marauders on foot.

Awww crap. . . so much fiddling I forgot legality.
Allright marauder cav back in - or the forsaken/Ogres get turned into a ten man CW brick. Between allocating time for valkia, the shrine, rebasing the army and magnetizing it I'm really bending over to avoid having to paint much.
how about the Glaive hero? Is this worth bothering with? I can also do the same hero on a steed of a slaanesh giving him the opportunity to hide in units early.
I'm going magic life wizards of chaos so I'm conscious I'll need something else to hunt march blockers redirectors and flying rank breakers.
Frankly it's a pretty bollux army list - but it's the minis I want to have painted up and looking good on the table by the time the event rolls around.
