Themed Khorne list. Help on Lord kit please

[Sam skywalker]

Fantasy Army: WoC

Hey all... Well Im thinking of running a khorne themed fluff list to a competitive UK tourney... 2400pts...

Details arent entirely finalised just yet but I have basically enough of everything to make any list.

The thing I want help on is how to kit out my khorne lord on juggernaught who will be running around in a knight bus. Im not bothered for khorne named items etc. Anything goes... So long as it kills things Im happy!

And then also the BSB position and kit. Compared to the rest of the army the knights are fast and will be out of BSB range unless I hold them back. Taking the blasted standard helps against shooting so I can hold back. Do I stick the BSB on pony and stick him in with the knights and lord... or stay on foot with the foot sloggers...

Opinions please...! Also tips from any one who has run this kind of list would be most welcome...

Thanks

Do you want horde or monster killy and how survivable I think he needs a 1+ or 2+ for sure so take all the armour upgrades possible in mundane armour obviously mark of khorne the sword of bloodshed and ogre blade are both nice so is the potion of strength.

[Sam skywalker]

Well I suppose survivability is important... As of yet I have no anti magic either... Though true khorne would just want killy killy!!! Though yeah 1+ or 2+ is the plan...

If you want a Jug hero you must give him Crimson Armour to avoid getting Cannonball'ed to death. Crimson Armour, Talisman of Preservation, and then killy stuff to taste. Stream of Corruption is worth considering; I'd go that and a simple Halberd. Obviously this is a Lord, but if you want all Khorne then no magic, so a Lord is necessary.

On a general note, since you have no magic, try get some MR into your units so you can at least ignore most damage spells in order to dispel hexes and buffs (and Dwellers).

I wouldn't bother with the ToP. Crimson armour for sure, though.

I like the glaive of putrefaction, personally. Great for taking out monsters and characters.

[Akkaryn]

If you put your BSB in there and tool him for defense you can issue any challenges with him, so your killy lord doesn't get stuck in a challenge and waste his combat potential.

[GodlessM]

I wouldn't bother with the ToP.

Suit yourself. Cannons aren't the only things to worry about though; plenty of things with high strength, disallowing armour saves, and killing blow these days. Your standard Lion horde will get 16 attacks against this guy and will kill him outright without a ward; just one example.

Two things;

According to my handy-dandy app, 16 White lion attacks, hitting on 4's (reroll) and wounding on 3's, with the lords 1+ sv base will do 3.11 wounds, which while reducing him to 1 wound on average, it will not kill him. However, he will be able to deal back a meteric ****-tonne of damage.

And secondly, White Lions vs. Knight-Bus?? Charging (or being charged by) ASF S6 High elf infantry in the front WITH KINGHTS is never something that should happen to a competent general. Perhaps to a small unit. But to a hrode?? The knights have both maneuvrability and lots of disposable chaff that can keep pace (horsmen, hounds). If you let a unit of white lions at full strength (ie; 30-40 big)charge you, you deserve to lose.

Onto the kit - Unless your going for the ever fun Wizard-lord (Lord, MOK, Juggernaught, Wizards hat, Third eye), This is what I would run;

Lord, MOK, Juggernaught;
*Crimson Armour
*Helm of Many eyes
*Dawnstone
*Halberd
*Stream of Corruption

1+ rerollable, w/ the armour to limit multiple wounds. ASF w/ S6 attacks also comes in handy. The lack of magical attacks isnt too much of an issue, as your in a magical attack weilding knight bus. Also, while you dont have a ward save, unless directly targeted by cannons, your crimson armour and 2++ LOS should be fine. Your stats are monsterous, so charecteristic tests shoudl be ok too. The ASF will allow you to get the better of all but the quickest charecter builds (before they can strike you). And, as long as you stay near a bsb, your stupidity shouldnt let you down either (Ld.9 rerollable is ample 99% of the time). And youve got a breath wepaon, which is always nice.

This is how Ill be running my Lord, he's also accompanied by 10 knights of Khorne:

Mark of Khorne
Axe of Khorne
Talisman of Endurance
Helm of Many Eyes
Juggernaught
Bloodcurdling Roar

He gets to strike first (with re rolls against any one with lower WS which is likely) with 6 str 6 attacks at WS8 killing blow, plus his jugger gets to attack and the roar is there just in case. And also has a rather good defence 1+5+!
