Valkia the Victorious

[Antithesis]

Just wanted to share a list that has been doing very well for me that uses Valkia the Bloody.

Lords: ###
Valkia the Bloody

Hero: 231
Chaos Sorcerer lvl.II
MoT/barded steed
third eye/dispell scroll
charmed shield/sword of might

Core: 683
30 Marauders [5x6] - Valkia's unit.
MoT/shields
mus./ban.

18 Marauders [6x3]
MoK/flails
mus./ban.

18 Warriors [6x3]
MoK/shields/halberds
Banner of Swirftness
mus./ban.

Special: 645
6 Chaos Trolls

8 Knights - Sorcerer goes here.
ban.
Banner of Rage

Extra: ###
5 hounds

Total: 1999

So far this list has done very well - especially the 18 man unit of marauders, which everyone underestimates. Last game Valkia killed off two characters without even talking a wound - re-rolling EotG is sweet.

Nice list! I'm really digging the 18 man marauder block, so effective for such little points. Does the banner of swiftness make a big difference with the warriors,? I ask because I don't recall ever seeing it used on them before.

Yes, banner of swiftness is very good - simply because you gain at least three inches across the board, and that can really matter with dice. A unit of hounds provides cover for the first round, without blocking it, which helps.

Fast moving infantry are very handy for rushing into forests for cover [10" marching!] and it is is so cheap - I thought; why not? It's crappy if you use need the warrior unit to defend the watchtower though.
