Hello guys, some days ago I had a game against a Chaos player, it was the first time I played versus chaos and I knew they were hard in combat.
He had like 15Choosens with great wep 15choosens with 2handers (hero in unit) 6khorne knights 6khorne knights with a lord on jugg a hellcannon and Marauders, all of them were marked with khorne except marauders and hellcannon.
When my lion chariot had smashed up the 15choosens with great weapon and 3knights from the lords unit it died and my archmage killed the other 6knights.
When it was looking like I had lost a chariot 8swordmasters and 1spearmen and he had his 25ish marauders his lord with 3knights and his hellcannon left I felt I had won.
But that lord was hiting like a train he and 3units of knights whiped 17spearmens in one round and he had a magic ress of 3 so never managed to melt him up.
Anyways here is what I needs help with. HOW ON EARTH DO YOU KILL HELLCANNON!!! I ran my unit of dragon princes in it and I won combat by 1 and killed of the crew. then I sent in shadow warriors in the flank of it. and it completly smashed all I had in close combat the Shadow warrior and 2dragon princes left standing was left autorunning due to his fear.
Seriously its a cannon, how do you kill it without dying? (its a daemon in close combat)

Re: Against warriors of chaos.
Your best bet is either bolt throwers or a star dragon.
Also keep an eye on the Enemy of the Month thread, its Warriros of Chaos this month!

Hey, does this cloth smell like chloroform?

Good rolling there, as 17 means hitting with more than 2/3 of their attacks, but spears are so wimpy chaos knights will go through them like butter. On average, 4 frenzied knights will easily beat a spear unit frontally. 6 chaos knights can take Phoenix Guard frontally, although it is quite close.Wicksi wrote:But that lord was hiting like a train he and 3units of knights whiped 17spearmens in one round
The highest Warriors of Chaos can buy is magic resistance 2. Remember, magic resistance does not stack. Per below, the lord can get MR(3) with a warshrine, but that is unlikely.Wicksi wrote:and he had a magic ress of 3 so never managed to melt him up.
As with all such questions, the answer is Star Dragon, bolt throwers, or magic. Magic won't work great against the Hellcannon, but the others always work. Do NOT USE TROOPS TO FIGHT MONSTERS. It doesn't work.Wicksi wrote:HOW ON EARTH DO YOU KILL HELLCANNON!!!

He could have rolled it on the eye of the gods table.

Re: Against warriors of chaos.
Which should also never happen. With an Archmage in the High Elf army, there is nothing that should ever be in a challenge with a chaos lord. And with a big block of spears, there is no way he should get in a challenge with anything short of the spear block.WarpPhoenix wrote:He could have rolled it on the eye of the gods table.
Re: Against warriors of chaos.
His list is rather bad really, all khorne means that you can drag his frenzied units around the battlefield at your leisure(sp), and 2 units of chosen without Warshrines?
Soft it up with magic/RBT's, then finnish it with Stardragons/Starlance/Swordmasters/White Lions. The worst thing about it it's T6 + Unbreakability.
Did he mention how he had MR(3)? Because I can as already mentioned only think of the EotG table.
To be precie, it's a stone thrower, and to be even more precise, it's a monster that can shoot like a improved stonethrower.Seriously its a cannon, how do you kill it without dying? (its a daemon in close combat)

Chaos Lords do hit like a train, that's what they do. (but they also pay through the nose for it.)But that lord was hiting like a train he and 3units of knights whiped 17spearmens in one round and he had a magic ress of 3 so never managed to melt him up.
