2500 Warriors Tournament Army - Comp'd Tourney

[pointyteeth]

Fantasy Army: WoC

Hi all. I have 5 days until the cut-off for army list submission to WCP's indy grand tournment and just wanted to see if anyone has any last minute advice on changes to my list. This is a comp'd tournament and I'm aiming to get my list into the low end of the medium bracket.

Sorcerer Lord (a support caster, and bloodskull pendant has quite the kill tally for me)
Lore of Heavens, Level 4, Talisman of Preservation, Bloodskull Pendant, Ironcurse Icon, Conjoined Homonculous

BSB (surprisinly effective with sword of anti-heroes. No one I've played expects the BSB to accept/issue the challenge)
Mark of Slaanesh, Sword of Anti-Hero's, Enchanted Shield.

26 Chaos Warriors (low power deathstar with the Lvl 4 and BSB)
Mark of Slaanesh, Halberd, shield, full command, banner of rage

Chaos Sorcerer (shadow magic...great utility lore)
Lore of Shadow, Level 2, Dispel Scroll, Dragonhelm

25 Marauders (bunker for lvl 2 and pain in the butt speedbump if necessary)
Mark of Tzeentch, Shield, full command

Exalted Hero on Steed of Slaanesh (vanguarding warmachine/diverter hunter)
Charmed Shield, Potion of Foolhardiness, Mark of Slaanesh, Halberd

18 Forsaken (wildcards, opponents haven't faced before and usually over/under estimate them)

40 Marauders (glass cannon extrordinare)
Great Weapons, full command, Mark of Khorne

5 Marauder Horse (warmachine/diverter hunters)
Mark of Slaanesh, flails

5 Chaos Knights (Abom wreckers...god how I hate Aboms)
Champion, Standard, Mark of Nurgle, Banner of Eternal Flame

lvl two cant use the lore of shadow.

Yeah the above post is right, lvl 2 wizards can choose from death or fire. I would stick a mark of tzeentch or nurgle (if you want to keep the lore a utility law) on him and use one of those laws. death is good but on a lvl 2 there is a pretty good chance you won't roll any of the better spells, i don't rate fire magic really. Festus would be great here if the comp rules allow it, stick him in the warriors (they get 5+ regen) and the wizard lord in the marauder bunker, also he auto gets curse of the leper (-1 str and T, remains in play and continues reducing str and T if not dispelled) and you can always take the snipe spell with him.
The exalted on steed of slaanesh, although very cool is probably a waste of points, i would take a warshrine over him any day. although i suppose he is OK if you use him as a lvl4 wizard hunter, but he will likely die eventually (good trade off but still an expensive one) and if they have a unit champ you have to challenge and will be stuck for a round not killing the wizard.

Interesting idea on using forsaken as people don't play against them much, good at mopping up weak units as they have good speed and potential for a lot of attacks. However, I would still rather make the knights unit bigger (because if they lose even a couple of guys they are no longer a particularly good abom wrecker unit) and have a load of spare points (which i suppose could be used to take a smaller unit of forsaken which could be used as support unit for the marauders or as wizard hunters)

just some thoughts, I think the list is OK in general, you have plenty of hard hitting stuff so you should do alright

This unit won't work as magical weapons (as the knights have) don't work with flaming attacks! Check the rules for flaming attacks, last paragraph. If you want this to work you'll have to give them lances.

Damn, can't believe I made two rookie mistakes! Three if you count the one my buddy pointed out last night (two enchanted items on my lord). Thanks for the input all.

Changed the level 2 shadow to a level 2 nurgle on chaos steed and put him in the chaos knights and dropped the flaming banner from the knights for gleaming pennant (very nurgle appropriate ). Also dropped Ironcurse Icon from my Lord so he doesn't have 2 enchanted items and put Luckstone on my level 2.

I think the army will do ok. I prefer to take things that have the potential to do great things over taking things that are a sure bet. My dice-rolling is atrocious so I prefer to use things that I have fun with.
