take the lore of metal on your sorceresses for sure.
no armor saves means those warriors of chaos are pretty vulnerable.

however, those units of 10 corsairs each will die pretty fast.. better in units of 20 or something

that's all

He seems pretty thin on characters, would have made it easy on yourself if you took a few harpies and just flew them around to delay his arrival, magic and shooting him for a few rounds could have been effortless. And something would break those special characters eventually.

well.. fair enough, but... I was the Chaos player

... and after we played the scenario, I can tell that the corsairs didn't die that fast.. they ran away xD

Sounds like a nice idea with the harpies, but... my warriors of Khorne (inkluding my exhalted hero of khorne) didn´t reach his crossbowmen before the rest of the army was engaged in CC, so a couple of harpies wouldn´t have lasted long, I don't think they would last much longer than 1 turn (2 CC's)... well.. depends how many they are ofcause but,, well.. wouldn´t put my fate on them.
Shooting against chaos isn't a good idea. at least not when the dices was as they were xD.. after what I remember, in the first DE shooting phase, there was claimed 2 Khorne warriors... and that was one of the 4 Bolt throwers that did that damage. and sadly non of the 30 crossbowmen did any damage. (until the next CC phase, were one of them hit and wounded Kholek... with the only wound he lost in the entire battle :s)

What did you want from us here? Some feedback on composition, or how we'd play either side, or something else that I don't get? Anyway

Shooting at Chaos in my experience has been very rewarding, but yeah when your rolls suck then it's a waste of time but that's dice for ya'.

Using Kholek AND Archaeon.. that's crazy man. Tell us more about the game if you don't mind. I'm interested in hearing more. Last and only time I saw Kholek fielded, he got in a bad spot, got flanked by 2 units of VC knights after they overran and he was cut to ribbons.

sounds nasty with those vc knights... but anyway.. when Kholek reached the line of DEs he got stuck in a fight against the crossbowmen and a Bolt Thrower. Archaon was in the unit of Chaos knights and charged another bolt thrower. after they both got through archaon charged the unit of Exe. they eliminated 2 knights in the first round and the commander in the exe unit died because of a challenge with Archaon. Kholek moved on into the black guard unit and got stuck in some challenges against the Dreadlord and after that the battle standart bearer. my unit of trolls had charged the Witch elfs in the flank. at that point had neither the 2 warriors of chaos units, dragon ogres or corsair units been in a fight, the supreme sorc was sent off fleeing due to Archaons terror.

and btw The DE Dreadlord survived one whole round against Kholek in a challenge, and not one of the 21 attacks passed his armour and ward save. both my opponent and me were pretty amazed that it was actually true. and.. well... we wont talk about the next round to be fair to my friend xD
