Excessus Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well, I usually bring a cheap-ish lvl 3 sorc. With my nurgle lord and his spawn as a little mini-deathstar. They are usually hard enough to take care of most things if my opponents don't cheese too much.

Emperors Immortals Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 A prophet lord with MoN, sigil, blight grenades, daemonheart, blade and horns on a palanquin together with 9 MoN possessed in a dreadclaw... (edit): I'm at work so i can't actually check if the prophet works with the palanquin... That is filthy - I love it!

Iron Father Ferrum Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm curious about something. Fist & claw lords appear to be fairly popular because they bring both AP2 and AP3 close combat options. Has anyone ever tried this with a cheaper combination, as in power axe & power sword? Still a pair of matched CCWs for the extra attack and provide a spread of AP values for multiple targets. I understand that you're not getting quite the same bonuses in terms of Strength value and Shred, but it's fewer points. The reason I'm asking is because I had considered (mostly for modelling rather than playing purposes, since I barely ever play any more) making a MoT Lord with power sword (or maybe Murder Sword, because reasons), power axe, Sigil, and a Disc of Tzeentch.

Emperors Immortals Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In my lower point games i take a Tzeentch sigil biker lord with power axe and chain axe. Its pretty versatile and very resiliant and i love peopl ewondering why the Khorne axeman is purple.

KingBlanco1994 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 One lord build i am testing is Chaos Lord Mark of Slaanesh Aura of Dark Glory Hes cheap and does what i need him too (unlocks noise marines) and can also baby sit either my oblits or havocs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293904-chaos-lords-how-do-you-get-them-working/page/4/#findComment-3845519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The reason I'm asking is because I had considered (mostly for modelling rather than playing purposes, since I barely ever play any more) making a MoT Lord with power sword (or maybe Murder Sword, because reasons), power axe, Sigil, and a Disc of Tzeentch. not worth it without the double str from the fist. also being less then 6T is very dangerous for chaos HQs. MS is/was/will be always a bad option. it does absolutly nothing better then the fist/claw or even the CS weapon. A prophet lord with MoN, sigil, blight grenades, daemonheart, blade and horns on a palanquin together with 9 MoN possessed in a dreadclaw... Doesn't the palaguine make you very bulky?

And point different is only 10... You can use power axe and chainaxe for even cheaper (18 point less).. But it's not worth.

Fatespinner Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Malavarn the Untwisted, Terminator Chaos Lord of Nurgle Sigil of Corruption Power Fist Burning Brand of Skalathrax He deep strikes in alongside a full squad of three MoN Obliterators to lay down a whole lot of pain at close range, either reducing an infantry blob to slag with the Brand and three heavy flamers or just having the Oblits open up on the side of a tank with twin-linked meltaguns. I make sure to put his multiple wounds and 4++ closer to the enemies than the rest of the Obliterators so that any shooting attacks resolve against his better save and more wounds, using Look Out Sir! to absorb any additional hits that would kill him. Plus he makes the Oblits Fearless by being attached, which prevents silly things like tank shocking them into falling back or pinning them with suppression fire. Instead, I just punch a hole in the silly tank with a power fist or laugh off the puny small arms fire with 2+ armor saves and continue on.

Strazhakov Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hector Draud the Praetor of Woe * Mark of Slaanesh * Spineshaver Blade * Hand of Darkness * Sigil of Corruption * Jump Pack * VotLW Before you ask yes I know he has two relics but we have house ruled that to be ok. He's like a flying poor man's Abbadon and he eats Marines for breakfast.

FashaTheDog Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 How will I get my Chaos Lord working? Well, the first thing I do is have him fill out a W-4: http://s28.postimg.org/wdrqw8ie5/IW_W4.png Once he shows up for his first day on the job, he gets: Mark of Khorne Juggernaut of Khorne Power Claw Lightning Claw Sigil of Corruption Gift of Mutation Union membership: Siege Masters Local 512 (counts as Veterans of the Long War) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293904-chaos-lords-how-do-you-get-them-working/page/4/#findComment-3846703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrack Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I can see some Chaos Lord not even bothering to dismount his juggernaut in some human resources cubicle filling out his w4 while being briefed on the locations of the fire extinguishers.
