I would advise against 2 units of minotaurs, 1 of them could go for a unit of marauders with flails or shield and light armour.

I would also advise against a standard bearer on a unit that can only flank, it will only be 100 victory points to your opponent if they get run down.

Push for units of 15 or 17 warriors with the caracters?

[Araith]

I reckoned the Minotaurs could also act on their own. Or one of them supported by the Horsemen or the Chariot.

Push for units of 15 or 17 warriors with the caracters?

What do you mean with this?


Tai'shar

[Wolf_Pack]

well either go 4x4 (15+1 caracter) or 6x3 (17+1 caracter)


as 5x3 (14 +1 caracter) seems too thin for warriors that aren't chosen.

[Araith]

I'll drop the Minotaur standard. Suggestions to spend the 23 points on?

My arguments for the small size are:
- as I believe Chaos Warriors go on larger bases, 6 wide won't help.
- and there's a real killer character in each unit. Especially the Rending Sword of the general: each unsaved wound becomes D3 wounds.
- there's a unit of Hounds for each to screen.

But if you really think they're too small, I'd have to drop one of the Minotaur units.


Tai'shar

[Wolf_Pack]

the problem with the rending sword it's that it only affects multiple wound models there Araith, not very useful on rank and file troops. Saves are made per model, so the d3 wounds don't do anything on single wound models, they don't carry over.

[Araith]

Ah ... there ... damn. So much for the killer block. But still, he packs a punch as he is.
Then I'll drop the Rending Sword for the Scimitar of Skultar, which saves me 25 pts.

Enough for either a unit of Hounds or, if I drop one of the Minotaur units, to get a unit of 20 Maraurders with FC, flails, light armour and shields.


Tai'shar

[Wolf_Pack]

Go for the marauders then, the more models the better!

This will give you a flexible unit, either ancor, with shield and hand weapon, or flanker with flails, I like it!
