===Others=== ====Daemon==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Exalted-Flamers-of-Tzeentch-en.pdf Exalted Flamers]:''' (Daemon Min: 1 Max: 6 130pts 12 Fate Points for 1) A leader of the Flamers, being a Fusion two normal Flamers into one model with double the attacks, wounds and rend on their Warpflame attacks. not on his scroll but he also provides +1 to hit for other Flamers, often letting them hit on 2s. In tighter points games he has better value when you saving 50 points for 2 models worth and require fewer Fate Points to summon (could appear by round 2 with your own casting while Flamers could show at soonest by round 3). Still, less points-efficient than normal flamers except as a force multiplier - oddly, if near a flamer unit, the standard guys get more accurate than these ones, as they both hit on 4+ before buffs. ====Arcanite==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Tzaangor-Enlightened-en.pdf Tzaangor Enlightened]:''' (Min 3, 90pts) Elite Tzaangors. They hit hard and get better when a Tzaangor Shaman is nearby. Other than that, they have a beautiful psychological tool in the ''Guided by the Past'' ability, which grants them full rerolls To Hit and Wound if an enemy unit within 3" has already attacked this turn. This puts your opponent into an unpleasant situation: Either attack them first and give the survivors powerful re-rolls or let them attack first and pray he'll still have models left once they're done. You use the Foot variant if you're saving points. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Tzaangor-Enlightened-on-Disc-en.pdf Tzaangor Enlightened on Disc]:''' (Min 3, 180pts) The better Enlightened the most people use. All your Enlightened gain 16" Fly Move, extra Wound and a massively scary melee profile on top of their own massively scary melee profile (both affected by ''Guided by the Past''). Now Enlightened and Shaman can move together at full speed. **Arcane Cataclysm has changed them up a bit. ''Guided by the Past'' now only gives a +1 to wound if you went second, which is appreciated but not quite what we used to have because everything now hits on a 4+ without a Shaman beside them. Their ''Babbling Stream of Secrets'' ability (which used to just make battleshock casualties worse for the enemy - if that ever mattered) into something more applicable by making engaged enemies unable to receive any commands. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Tzaangor-Skyfires-en.pdf Tzaangor Skyfires]:''' (BoC, 3, 190pts) Ranged Elite Tzaangors. These fellows are the unholy cross between a Tzaangor Enlightened, a Kurnoth Hunter and a Warplock Jezzail (guess who did what, I don't wanna imagine that scene). In addition to having serviceable melee stats, Skyfires have the obscene 16" Movement of the Enlightened, the 24" range of the Kurnoth Hunters and unmodified 6 To Hit rolls immediately deal d3 Mortal Wounds instead (incredible for sniping characters with a good destiny dice pool). This is even stronger considering that close proximity to a Tzaangor Shaman grants them +1 To Hit, and the leader already has an additional +1, making still be dangerous even if 6s are not rolled. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//aos_warscroll_eyes_of_the_nine_en.pdf Eyes of the Nine]:''' A mixed unit of 4 models including two named kairic acolytes, a named tzaangor wielding a savage greatblade and a blue horror. Must be taken alongside Vortemis the All-Seeing. ====Mortal==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Chosen_eng.pdf Chaos Chosen]:''' (STD Min5, Max:20, 140pts.) Warriors with +1 Ld and armed with Great Weapons, which is basically a Protector's Halberd without the cool special rules. What's so special about Chosen, then? If they kill at least one model in combat, all nearby Slaves to Darkness re-roll To Wound until the end of the phase. This is pretty devastating and nowhere does it say that multiple Chosen squads can't affect each other with this (actually, they even affect themselves if an ability allows them to fight more than once a phase, they're just that pleased with themselves). So a good way to look at Chosen is as a potential buffing unit with high damage potential. Don't compare them to Paladins as they really don't like that. Get them into the thick of things and start killing to buff everyone up. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Chariots_eng.pdf Chaos Chariots]:''' (STD Min1, Max:3 120pts.) Our favourite Shock and Awe Chariot got the Ogor Charge rule, big win. And while they seem to want to be taken in units of 2 to maximize the number of exalted upgrades you can take, an argument can be made to take a unit of 2-3. A Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (or demonic mount) with an Undivided Mark will give them an immunity to Battleshock (while wholly within 12") and the Chaos Lord's command ability will affect more than 1 chariot. This will maximise the hurt dealt when they charge. The Chariot's innate ability to run and charge once per game will only increase this benefit and possibly ensure a turn 1 charge. A 12" move, plus a run, plus a re-rollable charge will catch many an unwary opponent off-guard. Although, units of one could lead to a HUGE increase in mortal wounds from their charge damage as you roll once for the unit rather than once per model. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Gorebeast_Chariots_eng.pdf Gorebeast Chariots]:''' (STD 150pts) Don't get the same movement rule as the normal Chaos Chariots but they have the absolutely devastating Gorebeast to make up for it. The beast is just that in combat and also grants you a nice rule similar to Khorne Skullcrushers get where you can potentially inflict Mortal Wounds on whatever you charge in the Charge Phase. Like the normal chariot, this rule triggers for the unit rather than per model as Skullcrushers do - but it can affect more than one unit. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Knights_eng.pdf Chaos Knights]:''' (STD Min5, Max:20, 180pts.) Chaos Warriors on pretty good horses. They aren't the bullshit they used to be, but they are still strong. They can either have the same weapon as a Warrior but with three attacks and rend or they can take lances, which are exactly like a Liberator with a Warhammer but gain a bonus to Rend and Damage if they charge. You probably won't wipe out too many unis on the charge so the normal weapon will be better in most circumstances. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Marauder_Horsemen_eng.pdf Chaos Marauder Horsemen]:''' (STD Min5, Max:30 90pts.) Marauders on horseback. They are in almost every way normal Marauders on mediocre horses. However, they can still take Javelins, which beat every other weapon the guys can have by simple virtue of being a missile weapon in addition to a close combat weapon. Considering this is an army that can be at a desperate lacking in ranged weaponry, it can be a good rule-of-thumb to include a few goods ranged harassers. Feigned Flight allows for Mongolian-style hit and run tactics, as it allows the Marauders to shoot and charge even if they retreated. Meaning these guys can run circles around slower moving units while they gradually shoot them down before multi-charging them to death. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Varanguard_eng.pdf Varanguard]''': (STD Min:3, Max:12, 300pts) Super Warriors lent out by Archaon. They are giant chaos knights with 5 wounds 3+ armour and ignore magic on a 5+, able to Fight twice once per game and get +1 to hit if you have Archaon. The unit can be armed with an Ensorcelled Weapon for consistency, Fellspear for better charge damage, or Daemonforged Blade can more inflict Damage and MW with good RNG. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-Tzeentch-Chaos-Spawn-en.pdf Chaos Spawn]:''' (STD Min:1 Max:6 50pts.) [[Chaos Spawn | That Which Must Not Be Named]]. Not actually terrible, though far from reliable. A Move of 2D6" makes for potentially fast movement. Similarly, 2D6 attacks per Spawn is potentially strong, but even better is the special rule these attacks come with: Any natural 6s to wound deal mortal wounds. Also, five Wounds with a 5+ save to make for pretty hardy models, and any models within 9" of a wizard that casts a spell can immediately regenerate their wounds. This makes them excellent bubblewrap for backline wizards that you fear might get assassinated. ** Tzeentch has many ways to summon them for free, either to replace specific Heroes that die or right into enemy lines, stopping them from shooting and charging your wizards. ====Beasts Of Chaos==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-ungors-en.pdf Ungors]:''' (Min10 Max:40 60/200pts) beastmen Marauders. Not strong but you can take swarms of them and they are able to cross a lot of ground. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_AoS_BeastsOfChaos_Gors.pdf Gors]:''' (Min10 Max:30 70/200pts) A step above Ungors. while Ungors are only effective in large packs, you can comfortably take smaller units of Gors. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-bestigors-en.pdf Bestigors]:''' (Min10 Max:30 120/300pts) A step above Gors but below Tzaangors. They do have Rending attacks over Tzaangors. If you can stack all their bonuses you can get up to the Tzaangors killing power. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_AoS_BeastsOfChaos_Bullgors.pdf Bullgors]:''' (Min3 Max:12 140pts) Get the same Bloodgreed rule as the Doombull, Π° weapon choice of great axes (2x 4+/3+/-2/3) or axe(s)(3x 4+/3+/-1/2) with the option of an additional axe to reroll hit rolls of 1, or bull shields which add +1 to the save rolls against attacks from melee weapons. These options are in addition to horn attacks made by each bullgor (2x 4+/4+/-/1). But the really interesting trait is their Drummer and Banner Bearer abilities: namely, they give +1 respectively to charge rolls and Bravery for each enemy unit within 12" from them. If you want to go full Warherd, take one unit of each and see which ones perform best, but if you take only one unit of them and a Doombull, you're going to want great axes. **Arguably the dual axes may be the better option for a higher chance of mortal wounds with the additional attack and rerolling 1's to hit. The loss of rend isn't that big of a deal as we have many ways of reducing saves already. **Other than that, they're fast, have more raw, balls-out power than almost anything in the game and have lots of Wounds. The high Wound-count combined with the meh Save also means that targeting them with Mortal Wounds will almost feel like a waste to your opponent, which might keep them safe longer. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-dragon-ogors-en.pdf Dragon Ogors]:''' (Min3 Max:12 140pts) Five Wounds with a 4+ save, okay Bravery and scary weapons. Each has what is basically a Chaos Knight's horse bolted to it and in addition fights with a big weapon. You get either Ancient Weapons which are three Double-Hammer Liberators in one, Glaives which exchange 2 attacks with 1 more inch of range and a Rend of -1, or Crushers which only have 3 attacks, but with 2 damage each. Re-roll hit rolls of 1 if wholly within 12" of a Shaggoth. **Glaives have an interesting use in that you can hide your dragon ogors behind your 25mm/32mm based guys (just in case may want 2 ranks of 25mm bases to have maximum distance). Enemies with 1" weapons won't be able to touch your DO, while the glaives let your DO wack enemies (though you do lose your claw attacks). *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_AoS_BeastsOfChaos_Ungor_Raiders.pdf Ungor Raiders]:''' (Min:10 Max40 80pts) Same as Ungors, but with bows instead of shields and a basic scouting rule. Don't think their bows are good, by the way, but the mass of shots really helps. Don't underestimate 30-40 strong ungor raider units. They can output a surprising amount of dakka (for Beasts anyways, they're not crossbow freeguild!). in a melee-centric and focused faction that can quickly get into melee, missiles will be taken out of you horde budget, can damage distant enemies while holding objectives. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-centigors-en.pdf Centigors]:''' (Min:5 Max20 80pts) Light Brayherd cavalry unit that can Run and Charge. Fairly useless as the other player can lay down even light fire and wipe them out. Their good to at moving across the board, harassing, tieing down or grabbing an objective but not much else. Each turn you can decide to have them get drunk on beast piss to add +1 to their hit rolls but at the cost of your opponent getting +1 on them. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-tuskgor-chariot-en.pdf Tuskgor Chariots]:''' (Min:1 Max4 60/200pts) It's a chariot. Aside from the fact that the model is painfully showing its age, it's actually damn good. Lots of Wounds, good Save, tons of attacks that are great on the charge and okay normally. Play three of them and make sure they have a Bray Shaman close to them in your first movement phase. Like Bestigors, its Despoiler Axe can re-roll 1s against Order units and add 1 to hit rolls if the unit has 10 or more units. Fill your army with chariots! they are one of the best beast units! If you don't like the Tuskgors, simply build your own chariots from Gors, Warhounds and assorted wood splinters.
