3 Flammers of Tzeentch 105

2000pts

So this army contains, 7 wizards, 1 lvl 3, 3 lvl 2 which knowall the spells from 1 lore i chose, and 3 lvl 1 which always have flickering fire at +1 to cast.

I also have 9 guys who shoot d6 s4 shots a turn, 6 fish which do a automatic s5 hit on all units they fly over, oh and every model except my genral has flamming attacks.

Plus my keeper can force a unit to charge it once per game, and with 6a with first strike he can take a charge.

Opinion guys?

I prefer the Keeper, Masque and herald with the icon of despair combo myself, although the Tzeentch heralds aid the rest of your list well (and have more destructive magic, which is always fun ) so it all works out - are you planning to put the heralds in the horror units or have them running around causing havoc?

Theres nothing to say about horrors - they rock

Im not normally a fan of screamers, im not saying they dont have a place in the list, I just prefer flesh hounds.

Again not much to say about flamers other than I get angry looks if I take more than 3

Cheers

i can never get the masque to work 4 me don't why, suppose it just don't get women lol,

the heralds can stay with the horrors or leave the unit depending on the situation.

I very rarely use khorne unit's don't know why, just don't.

Flamers are just mocking units, it's a shame change bringers don't exist anymore lol

 sadly with what i seen of the new rule book developments this army won't be possible in a GT if the rumours hold true

[Darak Vardek]

ok i finally got to try out this list on Monday, and in a space of 3 hours defeated 3 armies with a massacre in each game.

First Game Dark Elves

His army roughly contained: -
Lord on Dragon, with the typical Dark elves lord magic combo.
lvl 2 sorceress
combat hero
2 assassins
5 shades
5 cold ones
4 x 5 dark riders
20 black guard

this game didn't last long and by the end of turn 1 he had lost all the dark riders, cold ones, shades, and 1 assassin, and his lord had no magic items due to my heralds taking lore of metal. in this game i lost the changelings unit and the battle standard

game 2 lizardmen.

His army roughly contained: -
lord on carnisour
24 saurus guard
2 x 10 skinks
2 salamanders,
2 of the other type of salamander, u know the new ones
2 regular stegs
1 engine of the god

yet again the changeling unit got killed but the battle standard survived, but in this game the keeper came in to its own killing both regular stegs and the saurus unaided, the changeling did ruin the lord on its beast and killed the carnisour but died to the lord, the unit felt the wrath of the engine of the gods.

game 3 Vamps

His army roughly contained: -
Vamp lord tooled up
3 vamps tooled up (magic heavy)
2 Vargulfs
25 grave guard
20 skelys
30 ghouls
10 ghouls
2 x 5 die wolfs

this game was also quite quick, if my opponent didn't waste time deciding on stupid moves.
anyway first turn both vargulfs died to my flammers, and the dire wolfs fell to my heralds flames
he held my magic off but like wise his magic could do nothing either for the first 3 turns,
in his turn 4 i made his lord charge my keeper unsupported and was cut down, so in my turn 4, his magic defence weakened my combined magic missile and shooting claimed his 3 other vamps, along with the large unit of skeleys and ghouls(they had taken damage in previous turns) leaving his grave guard now down to 12 by themselves, and well i don't need to say what happened next lol. i didn't suffer 1 wound in that game, in fact i didn't need to roll a save once

[GonzoMfM]

im not to sure, but from what ive read on other forums that quite alot of ppl take anti flame stuff, so 99 % of your army with me duff, i think it was more to to with bloodthrister having flaming attacks n high elves take dragon with the dragon armour = you loose...... not just high elves tho obviously i did see in couple other armies but can recall which ones...

im not to sure if those other armys would be tournie play but just a thought.....

[Darak Vardek]

well they can't take an entire anti flame based army, not even high elves, and the stuff that does gets ripped apart by the keeper or the heralds magic, and in tournament play, taking an entire anti flame army is pointless, since not many army's have flamed based attacks in such quantities as this one, plus a he lord on dragon only the lord is immune, the dragon is not, and that is only if a bloodthirster has the flaming sword anyway, on average a he lord on dragon can not beat a bloodthirster, regardless of upgrades

[GonzoMfM]

i just seen something lol, isnt your lord over points 500 max for 2k or u playing a 2250?
