Okay, as time progresses, with most units there seems to be one or two "optimal" builds that dominate about every list you see here on the forum. With Chosen, it has lately become this one:
18 Chosen of Tzeentch
Halberds, Shields
Full Command
Favor of the Gods on Champion
Wailing Banner
Now, this is a fantastic unit, don't get me wrong. But let's see if we can get some other nice ones up here! This one I'd like to try out sometime:
18 Chosen of Khorne
Additional Hand Weapons, Shields
Full Command
Favor of the Gods on Champion
Wailing Banner
What makes the difference here is that with control of the results, you can get the +1 Strength pretty easy, and you can can in general expand their combat potential better than Tzeentch Chosen with Halberds when you add Warshrines to the mix. Mainly because these guys benefit a lot more from the added strength than the Tzeentch Chosen with halberds, so if they get both the +1 str and +1 attack... That's 5 str 5 attacks per guy in the front rank, just so brutal.
Anyone like the Book of Secrets on the champ? Are there other interesting item combos we need to find out? Ruby Ring of Ruin perhaps?
