Hello everyone,
I have recently bought the new army book. Very eager to try out the new beasties, I had several battles against Warriors of Chaos but I encounter the same problems every time and don't know how to fix them. The games were 1000/1500 points so I am looking for suggestions of army lists on a smaller scale. Although be warned, I haven't got very much experience with Warhammer at all so some of my issues might be very stupid
I tend to run with Tetto'eko for the loremaster. I find Lore of Heavens extremely useful, strong with missiles and has nice buffs. I also tried adding a lvl 1 skink priest with Lore of Beasts to either luck out on an awesome spell or have the signature +1 S/T buff.
I added a bastilladon and tried both Ark of Sotek and Solar Engine. They both have their uses though I prefered Solar Engine as strength 2 of the swarms really doesn't do much to the tough chaos warriors. However my main problem with the bastilladon was that it ended up fighting groups of warriors that would win the combat big time by the wounds caused and having a low leadership, it fled.
I chose a Stegadon next which always seems to do well so no issues there. I was wondering though whether he can use his innate bound spell (and same question for the bastiladon) while in combat, provided that he targets a unit that is not in combat.
As my core I ran with a block of 30 saurus and a couple of smaller skink units with javelins to annoy and shoot and hold up.
I can never seem to win combats though seeing as warriors of chaos have higher initiative making them wipe out half my unit before I can even attack as well as very often winning so heavily that I needed snake eyes. At least half my games my saurus block flees and gets ran down with 20 of them left.
And finally, how on earth do I deal with a Chimera? Very tough, good armor save, 4+ regeneration and somewhere around 8 attacks depending on its tail. It's devastating
. I bombarded it with my spells which may solve the problem but it makes me lose most of my dice on 1 model, being forced to ignore my units and the rest of enemy's units.
I will appreciate any tips and answers greatly, thanks
