I agree chariots are bad as a whole, how effective were they historically? My impression was that they were pretty effective, even against Romans.
However, the Khandish king isn't so bad, he's a banner. And he looks great!

| Post subject: | Khand 700pt list |
Khand seem to me to be an underrated and overlooked list when to me chariots seem like an extremely good buy and so did the Khandish Mercenaries. So here is a list revolving around them. Shadow Lord on Fell beast Khandish Chieftain on Chariot Khandish Mercenary Chieftain on horse 8 Khandish chariots (2 with bow) 22 Khandish Mercenary horsemen(7 with bow) 33 models 9 bows 6 might. Was thinking of maybe taking out Shadow Lord on Fell beast and replacing him with Gothmog on Warg so as to always be able to counter my opponents heroic moves. Advice wanted. |

With 1/6 of your mercenaries running, you should end up with 29 models at 700 points. This is not good even with mass chariots. From what I've heard, chariots are over-rated and sure they get to move fast and shoot but they still only get 2 attacks on the charge with fight 3 and with such big bases, it's not going to be hard to beat that. Also, even with the SL on fell beast, a wood elf army could quite easily destroy that army especially with legolas who could potentially kill a chariot a turn. I simply wouldn't go for mass chariots at this points' level. |

-Chariots are awful. It are just horses with a HUGH base. Most enemy's don't use calvary anymore and if they have it is easy to ignore chariots with their large bases. Mostly your chariots will be against 4 enemies and they only needs one 4 or 5 to kill your chariot. The chariot is styrong but the rider is very easy target and if he is killed the chariot is also destroyed. -And a khand army doesn't have any speares wich is also a large weakness with such weak troops. - Your army has not enough models only 30 will start the game and they are destroyed easy. Sorry but I can't give advice on khand the only advice I can give is to take out all your chariots and replace them with khandisch meracenry horsemen so you can mass out calvary and mounted archers. 1 orc captain 20 Orc Warriors with spear 1 Khandish Mercenary Chieftain with bow on horse 15 Khandish Merc. Horseman (firing bow) 30 Khandish Mercenary Warrior shadowlord on horse This is one of the most usefull lists with khand I think. |
