Fantasy League: Chaos Warriors Month 1

So, Riptide here. As I am sure Scar3crow3 will talk about more in depth, we have a Fantasy slow grow league going on at the Castle. I chose to play Warriors of Chaos.

Games have gone extremely well so far. I mean I am 0-3 in the league, but they were fun games. My month 1 list (750 points) was:

Heroes:

Chaos Sorcerer - 185

Level 2 Wizard, Mark of Tzeentch, Dispel Scroll

Core:

Chaos Warriors - 234

Hand Weapon and Shield, Mark of Tzeentch. Aspiring Champion, Musician, Standard Bearer, 9xWarriors

Chaos Warhounds - 35

Mutant Poison. 5xWarhounds

Chaos Warhounds - 35

Mutant Poison. 5xWarhounds

Special:

Chaos Knights - 255

Ensorcelled Weapons, Mark of Tzeentch. Doom Knight, Musician, Standard Bearer. 2xChaos Knights.

Total: 744 points

So as you can see I have a bit of a Tzeentch theme going. And as we all know, Tzeentch is the most fickle of the Chaos gods. And quite honestly, my dice were fickle during my games. My whole first turn against the dark elves saw a single warrior die to all their shooting. Of course the second turn saw the complete destruction of my doggies, and my knights panicking away from the opposing army. The dark elves just shot me to death for the rest of the game.

Against the ogres, I actually managed to make combat. So games were getting better. Of course these combats really occurred to the ogres liking, as the the sabretusk kept running over and killing my units. My knights performed a little better this game, as they managed to run down a small unit of the ogres that carry cannons (I think that was what it was at least). But since that was all I had left, and I was facing the wrong direction, the rest of the ogre army just had to bide its time before it would kill me. 

Finally my game against the lizardmen was probably my best when it came to positioning my army. Of course I made terrible decisions, but hey, what you going to do. My doggies got quickly shot to death by skinks. Then my knights lost a couple to other skink shooting and panicked off the board. Finally my warriors successfully charged the big block of saurus warriors and promptly lost combat. But, hey I got them there. 

So I learned a lot from my three opening league games. And while I joked that it was because of dice, honestly my issues arose more from my own lack of skill. Fortunately, I can already say that I am a better player, not a good one, but a better one.

So for month 2 this is what I am looking at.
