I am new to fantasy so if I have made any mistakes please tell me so I can correct them. The units without the mark of khorne are there to screen the units with khorne. I really want a khorne theme in my army but have added sorcerers so I do not get hurt in the magic phase. Any advice on how to get it down to 2000pts?

EDIT, Sorcerer 2 was 190pts not 185pts.

You have too few Core Units. At 2,000-2,999pts you need to have at least 3 core regiments. Unfortunately, Hounds don't count towards that minimum. In my honest opinion, you don't NEED to have hounds. Drop the Banner of Rage from your Chaos Knights, drop your hounds, and use some of your freed-up points to add in a regiment of Marauder Horsemen. These guys work just as well as the hounds at soaking down bullets (although they're a little more pricey) but can also carry a punch in combat. If you wanted, you could forego their Fast Cavalry rule and give them Light Armor and Shields, for a total 4+ save. It's often overlooked, but I wouldn't put it outside the realm of consideration, just because you would be using them as a mirror to your chaos knights- attacking with them and aiming to target the opponent's weaker flank while the knights aim more towards the middle or stronger flank.


I need the hounds to screen some of my frenzied units line of sight, I have used them before in a begginner battle and they worked great at doing this. I already have seven marauder horsemen and I don't want a heavy cavalry army and I think the fast cavalry rule will give much needed maneuverability so I will try and squeeze in another unit of 20 chaos warriors with mark of nurgle.


Your Chosen Champion is allowed a SINGLE magic item valued at no more than 25pts. For this, I'd drop the one-use Death's Head and keep the Favor. However, if you do decide to keep your Sorcerers at Lvl2 and cast a few spells, I'd give the champion of this regiment The Book of Secrets to give you an additional cheap caster. I'd also knock out the Blasted Standard and go with a simple Warbanner. Drop a model, put your BSB here, and you should be absolutely golden.

I was going to put the exalted hero in the chaos warriors squad as the chosen can look after themselves. I mean they have a 3+ armour save with a 5+ ward against shooting as they will be targeted a lot in the shooting phase. Also with a roll on the eye of the gods table I am hoping for the +1 toughness to make them harder.

Those Nurgle Knights are expensive, and still susceptible to Frenzy. I'd be careful with them being baited around, and also be careful not to overestimate them. Sending them in alone and unsupported will only see them destroyed. If you wanted to, you could probably drop one of your core regiments in favor of some Marauder Horsemen. In fact, MoK Marauder Horsemen with Flails are considered one of the angriest regiments in the game. They hit just as hard as Chaos Knights, but at a fraction of the cost.

I would like to keep the knights as they are for now and see how they get on in a game as I will deploy them on the flank so they can only see 1-2 units which will hopefully be crushed so I can turn them in and hit the flanks.

One question, as the banner of rage makes them frenzied, does that mean my lord can join this unit aswell?
