Warhammer The Old World Start Collecting Warriors

Here we are with getting ready for Warhammer the old world with warriors of chaos, unlike daemons I am going to do two videos. One, this one is Khorne and Slaanesh, and later another with nurgle and tzeentch. To begin with you have to ask yourself a couple of serious questions, one do I want the choas lord on karkadrak, or am I ok with old models. Now if you don't want the chaos lordon karkadrak which I would use as a daemonic steed, and are ok with the older models. Then I would skip the start collecting slaves to darkness as in this box you get the chaos lord, ten chaos warriors, and five chaos mounted chaos knights. Saving you around three pound maximum. I am not joking and guessing the chaos lord wis around twenty eight pounds.

If you are ok with older models and not to fussed on the chaos lord, a box of chaos warriors has sixteen models and the mounted chaos knights have ten models. For an extra five pond giving you whole extra unit but you ould still need to buy your hero choice and chaos have a fair few good ones to choose from, no matter which patron diety you have sided with. I have chosen khorne and have Valkia as my Lord. Honestly I would go with start collecting box as the new models look cooler and it will probably be gone in december, when the vanguard box is released. Also having less to build and paint is a bonus and I don't have to worry about a musician or standard bearer. Just lots of crazy warriors, with very sharp and pokey metal sticks.

Second box for khorne is the start collecting bloodbound goreblade warband box. In this you get five blood warriors these are your chosen, ten blood reavers, these are your marauders, lord of khorne, bloodsecrator, blood soaker, those two are exalted heroes, and a khorgath. Though the khorgath is bigger than a spawn that is what I will be using it as.

As you can see no magic and no range, so I would put the shielded warriors up front with the marauders. To soak up as much damage as possible. Leaving your chosen and mounted knights to harras anythig bigger. Also holding back is not an option here, if you are not in close combat you are going to suffer. Ranged weapons and magic are your foe, so taking extras that can help either dispel or negate magic attacks will be a great boon to your force.

Now for the depravity that is slaanesh, again sme thing with the slaves of darkness do you want the chaos lord or the extra mounted knights?

Then for slaanesh use the start collecting stormcast eternals thunderstrike brotherhood. Remove hammers, hammerheads and the top of the banner. Replace with swords, axe heads and a slaanehi icon. You have some painbringers and you can use these all as chaos warriors. The lord, replace the hammer with a smaller slaaneshi icon and make him your sorcerer. This box is a simple kit bash and you will have three spare minis to do what you want with. This box is great for a quick slaaneshi arm for those that love to kitbash. As you have all heavy armour speed is not your friend but you do have many shields so you get a lot of pretection. The mounted knights will ruin th eflank while the warriors are backed up with ranged spells, and any aura buffs that the icon bearer wll give thme. Keep the icon bearer in the middly between all three so he can aid as many possible. Again zero range here, but you have many hero models to boost your core units to aid them in combat. I would use the prosecuters as hero models for this reason.
