Chaos Mortals Army

[ThomasJ3ff3rson]

Hey, I've been thinking about startin up a Chaos Army in Fantasy, but i can't decide between a specific God. I am stuck in between Khorne and Nurgle. Plus, even if i do decide where would i start? Thanks for any help and appreciate it.

Well, if you can't decide between the two then go undivided :). That way you can play with both of them.

Then the next question is are you going to want to mix in beastmen, or daemons? Chaos Knights are almost essential for a mortal chaos army

ya, that really isnt just an easy question to answer. are you familiar with the new rules? if so, then you know that khorne can be difficult to play against a good player because with the frenzy, they will just make you move in all kind of strange places. plus, they have no shooting and no magic, which can be for a bit of a boring game. but i love playing khorne demons becaue there is so much converting and painting that you can do to make them look great!
Nurgle for mortals doesnt give you all that much, but they do offer lots of opportunities for converting and painting.
as for playability, i really recommend starting with undivided. getting to re-roll failed phsycology tests is actually quite the deal! and as Rich said, you can roll in khorne and/or nurgle units if you decide to lean towards one or the other, or both.
we have sefeveral chaos players that show up on wed nights, so another option is to stop in and see how each differing army type plays and see which you like best. in fact, im doing a tutorial game this coming wed night and im playing chaos mortals so that another new player can see how they are before he invests money in that army, you are welcome to stop in and join in the fun as well

Told you undivided would be the best, cause you love magic and melee evenly. Khorne=No magic Nugle=Gooey pulsating blobs, with magic and melee, but you want mortals, like Jeff said, not to much to work with.


*Cough* Tzeentch ftw! *Cough*

thats not true mortals when played right give you numbers, great magic and table control, choosing a chaos army is like choosing flavors at the ice cream shop.. so many chooses and all all good in their own way.

i play a completely undivided list and do quite well because that is what works for me i also have a slaanesh list which i love so play with all the lists and see which works for your still of play

[Wehrmacht]

Khorne all the way:)
