I while back on Lustria Online I ran a math-hammer analysis of The BEST close combat units in all of Warhammer. A good deal of comparative insights were uncovered, of which pertinent to this thread topic was the superior performance of the Chaos Trolls and the relative poor performance of the Nurgle Chaos Warriors with halberds. This spawned the question of which of the WoC core choices formed the best combat block? My theory is that the Chaos Trolls will massively outperform their armoured Chaos Warrior counterparts (assuming of course you can babysit them and keep them away from flaming attacks). So I've set about to answer three main questions:

As I've already written up an intro in opening post of the analysis thread over on Lustria Online, I'll keep it short here. For those of you interested, the thread can be found here: Warriors of Chaos Core Deep Dive - Tzeentch CW vs. Nurgle CW vs. Khorne CW vs. Chaos Trolls
At the writing of this post, we're currently in round 8 of the competition/analysis. The first post lists all the important information regarding the analysis as well as a hyper-linked index to all the individual matchups.
I thought such information might be of interest to some of you perusing these WoC threads. In the meantime, feel free to use this thread to add your thoughts and insights on the subject at hand.
- Are Chaos Trolls better than Chaos Warriors?
- Which of the Chaos Warriors builds (Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle) is the best?
- Just how good are the Chaos core choices against a wide assortment of enemy units?
The competitors are:
- Chaos Warriors - Mark of Tzeentch, Hand Weapon and Shield
- Chaos Warriors - Mark of Khorne, Additional Hand Weapon
- Chaos Warriors - Mark of Nurgle, Halberds
- Chaos Trolls (who are core via Throgg's special rule; though Throgg plays no additional role in the analysis)
