Hello there !
So, know that appart from the Centurion Marshal (beautifull model but saddly not a good warscroll, like at all) , thats a really good start !
Cabalists is a strong subfaction, same for Host of EC and Kotet. Each specialize in different things.
Here are some tips for your next purchases :
* You could take the Warhord of eternus, A second unit of every elite units of S2D is relly worth it. You would end up with a 3rd unit of Knights, but they can be really usefull, especially in Kotet lists with the Chaos lord on DM you would get in the boxe.
* You will need some chaf to help in screening your units, so either look through the Warbands of cultist and pick 1 or 2, or wait for the upcomming release of the new darkoath boxe.
Regarding the units you have, without entering into details,
* knights are good with either khorne, slaanesh or nurgle depending on what you want them to do (big damages, long range threat or fast traveling anvil.
* Chosens are a big threat. Rregarding their mark, they can arguably all be good (exeption with Tzeetch mark), but my favorite is the Slaanesh one with the Banner to help them with their low movement characteristic with the run and charge command.
* Theridons and Warriors are good that way. If you play the theridons by 6, Slaanesh mark to help with movement is arguably really good too.
* CSL can be everything (exept khorne obviously) General or not, any mark you whant. Tzeetch has some use for teleportation shenanigans, Undevided for EotG rolls (in Cabalist for exemple), Nurgle for survivability or Slaanesh for mobility for your other Slaanesh units with the command.
* Kark is really good with khorne mark, make him your general with death dealer and he can be really deadly for his cost in point. Then again, Marks of nurgle, Slaanesh and undevided can all have their use if you have a plan. he is also good in cabalist, but then no Khorne mark for him saddly.
* Not much to say about the chariot/marshal. They are both underdogs in this faction but can show some good results with luck and some board control awarness. So if you want to play Marshal check maybe Cabalist to give him a spell like Chaotic conduit or flamming weapon to improve his lacking Warscroll a bit.
Anyway, all that is utter rubish compared to the most sacred rule of all ; Rule of cool ! So do what you like, don't let the busybodies and sweatlords tell you what to do with you plastic-krak.
Thankyou for such an in depth comment! I have read it twice and will look back to it. I have seen the upcoming darkoath stuff and was thinking to wait it out for their arrival. I also see what youre saying and am thinking about running cabalists giving the mark lord and knights nurgle as an anvil would be good if i had 10 chosen marked slaanesh as a hammer. It would also then maybe help out the centurion. As my army grows he might find more time in the shelf (unless rules improve possibly in forth) but i had to have that model. The kark lord, theridons and centurion were a major factor in why i picked S2D. I really appreciate the feedback.
