Chaos Warriors Tactics

Ok iv decided to write a post on the different ways to run chaos warriors and what spells and equipment etc work well with them

Marks:
Khorne
This give you unit frenzy granting them pros and cons
The pro's are that your unit gets +1 attack and is now immune to physcology
The con's are that its frenzied (meaning you have to over run, pursue and test not to charge) and can never flee (unless beatenn combat)

There are generally two ways to run these guys
1) is with halberds and the razor banner
These are truly meat grinders and these isnt much what will withstand these guys in combat
3 attacks at S5 and armour piercing means heavily armored units are going to crumble into dust
however against ranked up units they tend to get bogged down and will get ground down
with these guys its best to use lore of heavens as it will take out a lot of warmachines which cld do a lot of damage to these guys

2)is with extra hand weapons and festus
this makes them slaughter ranked up units and with posion they can take on heavily armored units
they are best run with


Tzeentch
This gives you +1 to any wardsave so when pared with a shield it gives you a 3+ save followed by a 5+ wardsave.
Coupled with the blasted banner, this makes the unit nearly impossible to destroy however when pared up against something like khorne warriors they do tend to find it hard to win.
These guys are best used fighting low strength units like witch elves or any of the empire state troops for example as its near impossible to kill them.

The best spells for these guys are buff spells (in particular the signature spell from lore of beasts) however as we dont have access to a lot of buffs other than the heavens spells we have to make do with shadows
