8th Edition Weekly Report - Week 1 Chaos and Khorne

Ok - So we all know 8th Edition is new and confusing for alot of people. How to play, what list to play, what units do what, etc...

Here are a couple of the 8th edition lists I am going to try out this week. I'd like to see everyone post on this thread or one like it about what they're playing and whether or not it was effective in 8th edition. Let's try to do this at least once a week - it doesn't need to me a huge post just tell us what you took and why it did or didn't work. I will be playing 1-2 (2750 point) games a week with different armies and lists. I will post my battle reports here.


This week I am trying Chaos and big blocks of marauders. I will also be throwing down some Khorne action.

I will post my lists and the results by Thursday.

The only thing I'd question are the shields - Mark of Nurgle is a good bump against shooting, and with halberds, you're not going to be able to use the shields in close combat (remember, if you buy weapons, you have to use them now)

Shields are while you’re walking towards them +1 armor and all that.

Lincoln the daemon list is sick good job.

Flamers are so good
