It looks ok. You might find that you struggle with so many large creatures in there, I have never done very well with armies made up mainly of monsters. Also you have no cheap throwaway troops (Hounds) which can be very useful. You could maybe loose the unit of three minotaurs and take a unit of hounds and a chariot, or two units of hounds and a spawn (although I have been disappointed with spawn in the past).

The other thing I would say is, do you think that the Lord's magic weapon is good value for the points? It is only really going to have a big impact against a very select gorup of targets, and I wonder if you might get more value from the Axes of Khorgor or the Blade of Blood. Finally I have never got much use out of the Bloodhunt Horn, it's sounds good, but it's short range can make it hard to get to use it, and it's rare to get to use it against a really good target. If you're feeling brave you might want to try the Plague Chalice?

Thanks for the input Neil, can I answer some of you ideas

1 The Chaos Runesword did work very well when cleaving though characters in the "Fight for Leadership" especially yours

2 The unit of 3 Minotaurs is the unit the Doombull will sit in as it's "Unit Champion"

3 Axes of Khorgor....It's a Nurgle List, Mad cow DISEASE, but yes I can see where you going with the Idea and maybe in some games I might give the Plague Chalise a go.

4 I've never known a Dog contract BSE yet, as soon as I find a case I'll add some along with the 1st collection of humans I kill when they contract CJD from me

5 Chariots are totally Undivided and wouldn't it into my theme.

But I will say it again you have some good ideas which given time I might modify to become an Undivided list.

Laters

Yes, the Chaos Runesword can be quite good but you haven't got it in your list. Prehaps that could be taken instead of the Hellfire Sword. Also the Axes of Khorgor are not a Khorne only item, they just happened to belong to someone called Khorgor. Finally I appreciate that you want a Nugle theme, but depending on how you feel about it, you could just paint them up in a Nurgle style and you will just have to cope with it not quite fitting.

If you want the army to work you really do need some chaos hounds.

Paint them like they are Nurgle. It'll be good.

Use the new Dire Wolf models from the upcoming VC range, that'd be sweet.

And yes, I know winning isn't everything (my Dark Elves a prime example), but a little tweak that isn't against the theme would be good.

If you do abandon the theme a little more, a chariot could be good. Perhaps a conversion of a Cow drawn chariot with a vet in the back!? That'd fit.

Sorry Neil I meant to post that I have the Chaos Runesword, NOT the Hellfire Sword

Boo boo on my part now corrected
