How much magic at 1000 pts

Hey Dudes, finally got my ass into gear and bought me the Chaos armybook. I'm trying to plan an Undivided 1000 point 'all comers' list; as I have no idea what armies I'll be facing; and am having problems with my characters. I'm definatley getting an Exalted Champion, probablly Mounted with a Great Weapon, but am torn between getting a Sorcerer or getting more Units. The main problem is that if I do get a Sorcerer do i make him offensive or defensive.

Hey well the magic area I'm not keen on but there seems to be a lack of members posting around now, so I'll give you some thoughts n ideas and hopefully something will help

Ideas:
1. Go for Tzeentch like you planned and you'll have the best of both worlds. (well not the best Khorne is the best of course.)

2. Go for the Undivided list like you also want and get the sorcerer and go offensive i think, I like the magic Chaos gets it available.

3. Just forget the sorcerer's and marks, and just get more troops in sucha small game of 1k, there wouldnt be much contest from the Magic of other armies, and would be more so from shooting or close combat, and the more numbers you would have would help that.

Okay, so well theres some ideas, hope it helps.

Skullz has pretty muched covered it all.

He is right though about sticking Tzeentch, you will get the best of both worlds.

Mounted Exalted Champ with a Great Weapon and MoTzeentch standard is 190 pts. Not too bad for covering both bases, considering my E.Champ and planned Sorcerer came to 290 pts.

Cheers for that, it was easier than i thought! (Damn I feel like a Dumbass )

Lol dont be, and when i meant marks i was talking for your entire army, for units and marks to, but really its worth it i think its the way to go! +1 power dice for each mark, not to shabby...

And the biggest bonus is the magic I love Tzeentch magic, aside from Skaven being my fav Tzeentch is runner up for sure.

personally i wouldnt bother with tzeentch magic, its awful, if you really need magic take a couple of lvl 2 beast shamans, they are cheap and do the job. A nurgle shaman with chalice of nurgle in a 2k game can be devastating.

I've had some really great success using an Undivided Sorcerer with Fire magic against Wood Elves in that past actually (L2 upgrade, normally I stick a dispel scroll on him too), so I take him with an Exalted Champion with the Book of Secrets, he takes Shadow and swaps his spell for Steed of Shadows (mwahahahaha). It's funny when your opponent realises how terrible a mistake he's made in not dispelling it when that guy manages to swoop out of his unit and tear the crew of his prized war machine to tiny pieces with derisive ease. Ahh, those were the days. Spilt blood, gaming, and the clash of steel on steel... the stuff of legend!

would could be good is a lvl 2 exalted daemon with lore of fire in 2k, perhaps leading a marauder or beastman army, flaming sword, very nice.

Donīt use a GW on mounted models, a halberd or flail is a lot better...
