I signed up for a local campaign, and now I need some advice. Here's
the rules:
2000 points, 2 heroes, 2 specials, 1 rare. Only 1 monster that is not
a unit (so ogres and what not do not count against this) and a max of 3
levels of magic. 30% or more of the points must be spent on core, and
no more than 100 points may be spent on magic items. Units and
generals with full commands become elite when they capture standards.
Elite units can re-roll ALL attacks (hits and misses) once per game for
every elite level they have (max of 3, may gain a max of 1 elite level
per game). Generals can gain upto 5 elite levels with all kinds of
bonuses.
As chaos, I had to choose a general (I'm taking an Exaulted Daemon) and
all marks in the army must match the generals (except for other daemons
in the case of the mark of undivided).
I start with 2 lands, one of which gives me an extra 25 points, the
other adds a magic level to any wizard (which would allow my exaulted
daemon to be upgraded to a daemon prince).
In my division, I have 2 Bretonnia players and a lizardmen player. I
will face each of these armies twice, and another 4 random players
during the course of the league. Every race is in the league, so I
could run into just about anything.
My first game is against Bretonnia, here are my initial thoughts.
Daemon Prince, Master of Mortals, Blade of Ether (no armor saves) and a
level 3 wizard.
12 Chosen Warriors, shields and great weapons, full command, banner of
wrath.
2x Chaos Chariots
2x 5 chaos hounds
5 Mounted Marauders, shields and spears
2x16 bloodletters, full command
3 Dragon Ogres
I'm planning on death magic. I wanted DoW Ogre Kingdom ogres, and even
painted up a unit... then I heard they were not allowed (Boo!). So I
considered a giant or some spawns, but I'm maxed on my 0-1 monster with
my Daemon Prince. That only leaves me with 2 options. 3 Dragon Ogres
or 2 more Chariots. I don't want to show up with 4 chariots just
yet...
With 5 power dice and 4 dispel dice (and a bound 4 magic missile) I am
on the heavy side of magic power. My plan is to try and take a charge
with the Dragon Ogres, bloodletters or chosen (since they can survive
being charged) and flank with hounds, fast cav, and daemon prince. If
I'm lucky, the Brets will fail a fear test and refuse to charge. If
I'm really lucky, I'll get Wind of Death, Steal Soul and Drain Life as
my three spells.
