Well, I've noticed this forum has been a little too quiet these days. I aim on changing that. So, first off, I'm in the middle of building my Terminator Lord for my Iron Warriors. My build is as follows:

Chaos Lord Kel'Darich, Tyrant of the Eastern Fringe
Terminator armour
twin-linked bolter
Daemon Weapon

Simple and effective. So, how do you all equip your lords?

~fearlessgod~

The same way you do, simple cheap builds that are effectieve on the field.

The lords I currently have are equipped like this.

Krieger: MoK and pair of lightningclaws
Pythor : powerweapon and combi-plasma
Lycon : powerweapon and combi-flamer
Goran : powerweapon
Bale : terimnator armour and pair of lightning claws
Kelgaroth : terminator armour and deamon weapon

I usually run a one of 4 lords depending on the situation:

1 lord in termie armor with the mark of Tz, a power fist and the Tz demon weapon.

2. Lord with wings, and twin light claws

3. Lord with mark of khorne and Khorns demon weapon

4. demon prince with wings, mark of Tz, warp time, and Wind of chaos

I use servo arms as demon weapons, makes them a bit fluffier imo

I tend to favour the combi melta over the TL bolter. With the high BS the lord is very likely to hit, although sometimes you just have to roll a 1. Nevertheless the melta shot can be very helpfull even in dealing with av14. The important thing is that the lord needs to get into 6" range for the melta to be most effective, which is done best with a land raider, teleport or a rhino, when not in termi armour.

With my lords so far:

Kraken: TL Bolter, Daemon Weapon, Personal Icon, (sometimes) Mark of Nurgle

Vathek: Termie armor, combi-melta, personal icon, power weapon

I've got a couple of basic builds I use for my lords.

Terminator armour - Combi melta, power or daemon weapon. MoT if I've got the points.

Power armour - Power weapon or daemon weapon. MoK but only if I'm using a PW.

Power armour - MoS, Steed of Slaanesh, Daemon weapon. This is my old speed lord with bionic legs, the closest I can get to the rules for this edition is changing him to cavalry by using a steed.

My old servo armed lords count as daemon weapons or MoK. (extra attacks)

I'm currently building a full magnatised lord who has a whole plethora of weapons options and equipment so I can cover any eventuality.

I'm running a few different kinds

Chaos Lord-Mark of Khorne, Termie, Lightning Claws

Sorcerer-Mark of Slaanesh, Lash of Submission, Termie, Combi-Melta

Chaos Lord-Plasma Pistol, Daemon Weapon, Jump Pack

Chaos Lord-Lightning Claws, Jump Pack, Mark of Khorne

Termi or power armour

Daemon Weapon
Bolter/Melta

Sometimes a mark of Khorne.

Used to be more 'fluffy' with a Servo arm but that's just decoration nowadays :(

I've a number of minor 'Battlesmiths' with pistols/power weapons and I'm also getting a good selection of Sorcerers of late one for each power including a Termi armoured one with a Mark of Tzeentch (I've also a power armoured one based on an oooolllld WHFB Tzeentchian Sorcerer on a disk.

PhilB
:bionic

Let's see... here's how I equip my Lord

Malach Dhar Cerberus
Terminator Armour
Combi-Melta
Daemon Weapon

Like the idea of having an Iron Warriors Warsmith walk around in some aeons-old Terminator armour with lots of bionics and other thingies, and sporting a potent Daemon Weapon (in form of a Power Axe) and a trusty Combi-Melta. How I love melta weapons... they do have a rather :pwned effect, now don't they? :D

Actually I think servo arms make great demon weapons. They do basically the same thing in giving extra attacks. I have a guy in a full servo harness to represent my khorne demon weapon, it gives twice as meany attacks as a normal one. It's more fluffy this way and just imagine a posessed servo arm doing it's own thing, sometimes hitting the guy it's on, that would be pretty funny in my opinion.

I was thinking about getting a direct order tech marine (since I really have no need for the servitors) and taking his head off and replacing it with a head a little more fitting for Chaos. I was thinking of mainly using him Apocalypse as an actual tech-marine or maybe coming up with a new data sheet. I'm not quite sure yet.

I did something similer by putting a servo harness on a model of huron blackheart. he looks pretty good imho

Lord Infenus Hellblade:

Termie armour

Mark of khorne

deamon wep

and combi melta

I think against certain armies it's not a bad idea to kit your lord with termie armor and a power fist. It works against armies that are weak in close combat such as IG and Tau and if you're playing against an army where you don't expect to go first a lot in close combat like Eldar. Then you certainly have the punch to kill a vehicles and you are pretty much promised a kill on whatever you fight.

Protheus-
Power armor version
twin link bolter, daemon weapon(hammer) personal icon and meltabombs.

Terminatort armour-
twin link bolter, daemon weapon, personal icon.

Sorceror-
MoT(warptime,bolt of change), terminator armor, twin linked bolter force weapon.


I can't stand the LoS... its too easy to counter in my opinion.

I just recently broke down and picked up a termie lord kit and without thinking gaming wise I put on a pair of lightning claws. I'm guessing this is an effective setup from what I notice here but I'd say it lacks long range power so what is the best termie lord weapon combo to compliment this lord?

war smith Asher . choas lord arm with the following : mark of nurgle [ court as the bionics ] , bike , combie melta , power fist .
current status : in a deep sleep in a heal chamber . after a direct lascannon hit at his bike during a battle with the Imperial fist . he blame it all on the bionics failing , before he enter the healing chamber he referr Florne as ' useless pics of junk iron' and demend new body ready and the company 's armour ready before he woke up . this has cut Florne deep and hard .

arcane engineer Dush . choas psker , with doom bolt .
current status : recuiting new warrior, repairing war barrage , building new war gear . altought he keep telling Florne he misunderstand warsmith's demend but Florne fail to his subborn and refuse to listen . and with both of the leader gone and the major damage the company has suffer during the last cush with the Space marine combie force in the Umber Sector . The company is in no condition to start an other major battle . Dush is starting the endness task to recover the campany's strength


chief master of guild obitelitor Florne. deamon prince , with MOT , bolt of change [ court as morph weapon] , deamonic graze [ court as morph weapon] , wind of choas [ aka strom of iron :D ] , soul eater [ arcane weapon given by Dush before he went on his quest] .
current status : inorder to create better combat machine and bionics Asher demend[ note : he is a single mind idiot who alway misunderstand Asher's command , in this case Asher order him to repair Asher's bionic and recover the battle lose , not running around like an idiot . ] .
Florne went on a quest in sarching for the perfect techno virus and arcane techno skill , warp artec . in his quest he has team up with Goregernunt , a juggernunt tamer[skull taker] , Mid & Puo , a two head mutie psker of change [ blue script ] . together they wreak havoc on many forge world , necon tomb , clone world , earth caste base , and even big mak's docking port .

The lord I use most of the time is my olf Lieutenant Lord, Tuefel the Bearer of the Dark Blade (back when that was still an option). Currently he's got a jump pack, plasma pistol, power weapon, melta bombs and sometimes a personal icon. Nothing special just a good all around. I think putting the wings on him though has hurt him as he's not been surviving his battles much since they've been put on.

Thadeus Gore in my Techno-Sorceror - He used to have a servo arm but not anymore obviously. He runs with a plasma pistol, lightning claw, melta bombs and a psycic power.

Lord Gorath only comes out on big games anymore, Terminator Armor, Demon Weapon, Boltermelta, personal Icon.
