Preparing for the Storm: Tiny Hordes of Chaos

June 2004·pp. 48–49

THE SHORT VERSION

Thomas Webster-Deakin plans a Tzeentch-themed Chaos army in stages, beginning with a printed 1,500-point force. Infantry and mixed mounted brigades balance elite strength against the danger of reaching a low break point. A Sorcerer with the Ring of Magic supports the assault, while flying troops threaten inconvenient targets. Advice from other players helps refine the list without removing models he particularly wants to collect.

Preparing for the Storm: Blood for the Blood God

Adrian Wood adapts his existing Chaos army for Archaon’s Horde. Chosen units occupy Special slots, allowing a tougher concentration of elite troops, while the unequal Halting the Tide scenario offers room for a much larger force. Khorne becomes the focus for new Warriors and Knights after experiments with Tzeentch. A Hellcannon supplies early long-range pressure that his army previously lacked.

Preparing for the Storm: Lothern Citizen Levy

Andy Hoare builds the Sea Patrol he helped design, combining plastic archer and spearman components into three Sea Guard regiments. Their defensive line supports more unusual elements, including a Merwyrm and a Dragon-mounted Commodore. A compact green, white and gold scheme reinforces the maritime theme and speeds the painting. The project links playtesting a variant list to creating an army with its own visual identity.

Preparing for the Storm: Nurgle Wants You!

Matthew Ward chooses a Nurgle Daemonic Legion after comparing the expanded options for each god. Improved resilience, new Heralds and Daemonic cavalry or chariots make a small pure-Daemon force more varied than before. His initial collection combines Plaguebearers, Plagueriders and Nurglings beneath a cheap Exalted Daemon. Extensive conversions, including a Spawn-based rider, are as much the attraction as the army’s battlefield capabilities.
