Second Sphere

I agree with you, with better options out there flesh hounds have been phased out of my Khornate daemons list. Karanak is decent in a unit of Bloodcrushers.

But yes, they seem to be tie up unit. But hell chaos furies can do that job cheaper

I agree with most of the OPs opinions, but i think Kharn has a better chance of getting his points back. Typhus does let you have plague marines are troops and plauge zombies, but Kharn gets you Berzerkers has troop which isn't a bad alternative. Kharn can also take out tanks with relative ease. He is also a steal at only 160pts. If hes not the best choice, he comes in a close 2nd. Of course i might be bias.

I was going to say much the same; the Sigil of Corruption is an optional upgrade, not something you get just for being a Chaos Lord.

Having played since early-mid Third Edition, I do not like letting Iron Warriors have four Heavy Support choices. It was a stupid idea when GW did it, and I still don't think it's particularly well balanced now.

Yeah i understand that reaction, but there isn't a special rule that screams siege specialist that's useful. I guess i could make it a bit more restrictive. Something like, "  In a primary detachment that includes Honsou, one maulerfiend does not count towards a heavy support choice" and "Warpsmiths get to re roll Master of Mechanisms rolls"

What they did back in the day was make you drop 2 fast attack for that extra HS. That did not balance it as fast attack was poor then and HS was great. If you do that now it will easily balance your character because FA is by FAR the best choice in the chaos codex.

That might work too     

A few more touch ups on Zso Sahaal were made. Next is the Iron Warriors character. Out of all the of the Iron Warrior character (and there is a ton of them) I think Honsou had the most complete fuff around him. Although i was tempted to make Chengrel (a chaos dreadnaught). Maybe another day.

So I thought i could make traitor character for the legions that don't have them (Night Lords, Iron Warriors, Word Bearers Alpha Legion). So first i'm going to take a stab at the Night Lords. More will come later.

Yup, my heldrake came home today. Surprisingly a easy build. The model has grown on me, the first time a saw it i didn't like it. I still don't like the caboose. Hopefully he'll get painted next weekend.
