Ok, slowly I am figuring out how to post and get things up and running here. I need to figure out how to post pics somewhere as this is turning out to be my most ambitious comversions to date.
Overview
I am doing a Warriors of chaos army which eventually will be led by a wizard lord on a Dragon. I am not too huge on magic, but like the idea of a Wizard with armor to hopefully keep him around a bit longer. I have also never had an army that was able to use a Dragon before, so I am a more than a bit excited to have the option and plan to use it(evil laugh begins here). I am intrigured by the Mark of Nurgle with the awesome spells and the bonuses in the shooting and combat phases as well. I will be using this mark on all of the Characters and the more expensive units in the Army to help further their survivability and combat effectiveness. I wanted to mark all the units in the army but this got extremely expensive and created an army list that was way way too small to field. I will work up a bit of a background and try to figure out posting of pics later. As this is a brand new army for me and I plan on using it in a tournament in April, I am going to be painting and using models from this list as much as possible. I am kind of a slow painter and apologize to all up front that I probably won't be fielding an all painted army on many occasion early on.
2000pt level....After playing a good amount of games, I am not thinkin the Nurgle magic is as powerful as I originally thought. The better spells are of course difficult to cast, and even then not very damaging, unless your a skink....LOL. I think this is a very reasonable list and well rounded as well as very quick for sure. The Sorcerer Lord on the Dragon is very tempting to drive headfirst into combat, and I am struggling to stop myself...ok I haven't stopped myself at all, but do see the need for it against units that are stubborn or have characters in em as I cannot fight my way through these too easily. Also is quite a treat to avoid all the bolthrowers and other projectiles coming at me game after game. Dragon sure does get alot of attention, hehe. I am enjoying the list/army alot and am really getting my painting underway quickly now as all my conversions and movement trays are done now.
Army Composition
As everyone knows the Warriors are pretty expensive, so the models are few but powerful. At my 2000 pt lvl I am adding my Wiz Lord, so I am adding a Lvl 2 here at the 1400 pts lvl to keep the feel of the 2 wizard army, and so I can get used to spells and their affects. With that thought in mind the list I have so far is as follows.....
745Sorcerer Lord- Nurgle,Dragon, Lvl4, Rod of torment, Crown of Everlasting Conquest
146 Chaos Sorcerer - , Nurgle, Chaos Steed, Scroll
290 Chaos sorcerer- , Lvl 2, Nurgle, Chariot mount, Infrernal puppet, Enchanted shield
86 Marauder fast Cav - X5 - Flails, Lt. Armor, Musician
86 Marauder fast Cav - X5 Flails, Lt. Armor, Musician
86 Marauder fast Cav - X5 Flails, lt. Armor, Musician
230 Chaos Knights X5- Nurgle
330 Chaos Knights X6, Nurgle, Champion, Standard Bearer, Rapturous Standard

Joey, I moved your entry into the Winter 2009 Fantasy Escalation League Folder and added a link in the armies section for it also.
