So, I decided to write up a Warriors of Chaos list based on my collection. The intent was to create a themed list using almost my entire collection. The theme is based around a future (discounting End Times) chaos invasion lead by the bastard children of Lord Mortkin from the Slaughter at Volganof narrative. 15-20 years in the future, prompted by a coven of chaos sorcerers following their own agenda, the twin offspring of Mortkin invade Ostland to avenge their father. As it is a themed list, not all of my unit choices were made with the intent for them to be overly effective on the tabletop.

Chaos sorcerer lord, lvl 4, Lore of Shadow
Skull of Katam, Seed of Rebirth, Hideous Visage

A nice thematic list you have there... no massive Warrior deathstars, Skullcrusher stars, uber-Daemon Princes or cheese Lord builds. Exactly the sort of lists players should be coming up with.

Not a full expert on Warriors so can't help out with the specifics, but it's something I certainly wouldn't object to writing a 9000-point list to play a friendly game against (if I had that much of one army of course :p)

You've earned my respect, sir. May your fun list tell a suitably grand story of Mortkin's twins!

I remember a battle report from a white dwarf years ago, 20+ years or so, where one of the players said "it's a greater thrill to win with whatever you have rather than what you wish you could have" or something to that effect. It's stuck with me ever since.
 
I love the themed list! But 9000 points is so big that I almost can't get my head around it.

What would you take if you had to make a 2400 point version, but keeping roughly the same overall theme? Perhaps a small vanguard element of this bigger army?

I did write quite a few smaller lists with a map based campaign idea in mind. I was trying to break them down based on contingents themed around the followers of 2 gods with an undivided character and/or undivided/monstrous units to represent an emissary or emissaries of Mortkin's bastards. Like the Nurgle and Slaanesh units were one army, Khorne and Tzeentch were the core of another and a third army was mostly unmarked/Undivided.

Well I'd love to see some of those smaller lists. I mainly play 2400 so that's what I have a good feel for.

Very cool with the combined Slaanesh/Nurgle theme. Would love to play this with my Saurus-focused lizard force!!
