2000 pts total, Wolves of the Sea, based around the idea that it's an army defending Skeggi. This is my first go at writing a list for TOW, and I have to say, I hated having to flip between 3 pdfs to write it. Characters: Ragnar of Skeggi, Bane of the Lizardmen Chaos Lord with shield, Sword of Might, Daemonic Mount, Mark of Chaos Undivided Snagri Skinkflayer Aspiring Champion, BsB, Biting Blade, Sea Raider's Crest, Mark of Chaos Undivided Frygga, Vitki of Skeggi Exalted Sorcerer, lvl 2, Daemonology, Ruby Ring of Ruin, Mark of Chaos Undivided Valgyr Bjornling, Captain of the Krakensbane Marauder Tribe Chief, shield, Taskmaster's Scourge, Paymaster's Coin, Mark of Chaos Undivided Borri Aesling, Jarl of the Velsvakt Marauder Tribe Chief, shield, Chieftain's Blade, Luckstone, Favour of the Gods Core Units: Krakensbane's Crew 20 Marauders w/great weapons and full command Velsvakt Warriors 20 Marauders, light armor, shields, full command Wild Curs and Mongrels 2 units of 5 Chaos hounds with vanguard 1 unit of 6 Chaos hounds with vanguard Mongrels of the Streets 5 Chaos hounds Velsvakt Berserkers 2 units of 10 Marauder Berserkers with flails and ambushers Special Units: Huscarls of Skeggi 5 Huscarls with cav spears, heavy armor, shields and full command Ragnar's Jarlsguard 15 Chaos Warriors, with shields, full command, Champion has Potion of Speed Rare Units The Ancient Ones, The First Enemies 3 Dragon Ogres with Shartak and great weapons
This'd be a fun list to play against. A good mix of Marauder units and a couple of tougher choices along with some heroes. There are many reasons why I'm a big fan of TOW, and Armies of Infamy is one of them. So much more potential for thematic lists and fun ideas for battle scenarios compared to earlier Editions. Plus Armies of Infamy allow particular units that aren't so good in the main list to potentially shine elsewhere, like this one requiring you to use Marauders over Chaos Warriors. Things like this are really good for keeping internal faction balance healthy. I would question the use of Chaos Warhounds given that their destruction will cause Panic, but Mark of Chaos Undivided may help there, same as it is with Beastmen.
