Help Needed for a Warhammer Noob

OK, so Scooter and crew roped me into playing Fantasy last Saturday and now I think I am pretty well hooked. I'm getting my chaos warriors army ready for painting but I have a few questions about the Chaos Army.

First of all, how casters do I need in a 2,000 point list and which is the best Lore of Magic, Nurgle, Slaanesh or Tzeentch?

Also, chaos units are way expensive but I'd like to field a large block of marauders. Is taking bigger units better then taking more units but smaller sized ones?

marauders are great stats of empire soldiers but cheaper. give'm great weapons and send them to thier death. as far as magic goes it depends on how you play. i find that either you run with a magic heavy list or run with khorne. i caster doesnt cut it like before. too much MR and anti magic items out there. look at the spells and see if somethig catches your eye. if you run with khorne i know they have some kind of nasty combo you can get a big unit of knights to charge on the first turn. play test different lists and see what works best for you

tim i have those lists for you pm me with your email adress

tim are you coming down to the tournament on saturday i'll have tose lists for you

COOOOL! I'll try to make it there this saturday. the bunker right?

yea

Scooter, do you know of any good beginner armylists for WoC if so just reply on my post... Im Matt by the way if you didnt know....(the kid at the shop today wanting to join the Inner circle gaming club)

I also like combat....if that would help

When ever your playing WOC if you want to go combat your best bet is to mix units. you will need warriors knights hell cannons marauders trolls everything will be your friend. If you play a list with all warriors’ people will dance around you if you run a all knight list you need to break them on the charge or your dead. A well rounded multi unit approach is best when you are fielding everything. And not all one thing.

A system that encourages varied units? Madness!!!
