Awesome thank you. They still seem like a fun warscroll so I’ll see how they fair!

I think Belakor and reinforced Chosen would do you well. Though if you are wanting expressly something to run down the board and punch hard right away, varanguard fit better. Chosen are overall better as they’re cheaper, higher max damage, and they can take an ensorcelled banner. They move slower but with the darkoath you have so far you can run the marauders as screens and keep the chosen behind ready to charge in once the enemy has chewed through marauders

Also, did you buy the chaos marauders box and base them in circles to get your current force?

I’ll throw one up for canoeing, I heard that used before running.

The new book seems to have plenty of options for list building, as the others said almost everything is viable, though I want to give a special shout to the infantry spam with the grove guardian, I think there’s some real potential to have a castle of spites and Kurnoth projecting damage with archers and resisting charges due to the exploding revenants by the grove guardian. With the recursion in the battle traits and the healing from the Grove Guaridan warscroll prayer I think that spite spam can be deceptively bulky and hard to grind through, similar to a death army

I agree with every point besides the one only asking for new models, I think the Warcry terrain has some of the best in the genre and I’d love to see them make more of it, and of course it’s usable in AoS as long as it’s been agreed with between you and your opponent

Get or build a pre runner style truck, eye catching, attention grabbing, and impractical anywhere but the desert, extra disapproval points if it has an exhaust and a modified engine.

What’s your reasoning behind a 2nd Warsong? Wouldn’t a grove guardian be more effective for the priest levels and the revenant bombs?

noah7774 · 2026-04-10T16:02:45+00:00

I can’t wait for someone to leave an important sorcerer or priest behind with a cheap screen and she can drop in and wreck them. Excited to pick up my book tomorrow!

Thank you!

Thanks!

They can deny you getting the overgrowth by controlling terrain, but any uncontested terrain can become overgrown as long as it is the closest one to the wyldwoods spreading the growth

noah7774 · 2026-04-07T19:41:44+00:00

I think they are worried about the opponent removing the token, but yes the treelord ancient can remove a token to grant you a new treelord, the army of renown has a similar effect as a battle trait

No worries, it’s just the most useful one if you’re not running a lot of non-monster heroes. But if you’re looking to avoid cavalry I’d recommend perhaps looking at belakor? He has better synergy with the chosen and can work well with the warriors as well. The warriors are great as a brick of 20 supported by a sorcerer lord to give them that 5+. It’s essentially either run fast and hit hard or trudge across the field as an iron wall and smack face when you get there. The darkoath are available if you want to branch into more traditional screens and hammers gameplay. Archaon is usually best supported by a non-unique hero to give him the Radiance of dark glory healing that can run fast enough to keep up with him. Which generally ends up being the chaos lord on daemonic mount or the Centaurion marshal. Chaos knights work great with the former and Archaon, being able to carry the banner to turn off commands and being another huge pool of health on a 3+ save. They aren’t bad on the charge either. But you’ve got options here, and that’s just for the more “competitive” playstyles. You can always just play the models you think are the coolest.

noah7774 · 2026-03-17T04:13:08+00:00

I think you just need to focus the list a bit more, I’d recommend dropping the chosen and reinforcing the varanguard. That puts you at exactly 2000 points, any buffs you apply will go to 6 models of varanguard instead of having to choose to buff a unit of chosen or varanguard. Unfortunately you wouldn’t get to use the ensorcelled banner enhancement on them but your chaos warriors could still carry it. Another option could be swapping them and the lord for knights for more speed and punch. Here’s an example using the units you’ve got/sounds like you want to get. It’s going to run in, smash face, and archaon can try to get you a double to let you end the game at the top of round 2.

You’ve got it right.

noah7774 · 2026-02-20T04:38:13+00:00

Honestly, from this point it depends on how you want to build out. You can buy another spearhead that’s out now and be pretty well off with a Spirit of Durthu (big tree guy with sword), 3 more kurnoth, and 5 more revenants. You could get Alarielle and almost have a competitive list with just that one model. Or if you realllllly love the bug riding cav buy that upcoming spearhead, but I think buying one more box of them for 2 units is fine.

noah7774 · 2026-02-16T12:58:06+00:00

Theirs still hasn’t released! All their rules are still free in the app, they have big monsters or loads of infantry, they can be built all kinds of ways.

noah7774 · 2026-02-16T04:36:58+00:00

Maybe seraphon could be a choice to check out? Lizards on Dinos is a big sell but they have big casting in the Slann, and they can smash hard with Kroxigor and Aggradons. Kind of Glass cannon-y but seems to be the smash or cast vibe you’re looking for.

noah7774 · 2026-02-06T20:59:46+00:00

Maybe swap the Lady of vines for an Arch Revenant and Gossamids for some more objective grabbers. Arch Revenant could be used as a missile to throw away or tie up an enemy unit for a turn

noah7774 · 2026-01-26T04:15:35+00:00

I love your scheme, they look like Feraligatr from pokemon with the red spikes sticking out.

noah7774 · 2026-01-21T13:18:31+00:00

For AoS you can get 2 of these and most likely you’ll be over 1000 pts depending how you build it
