Is anyone on this forum attending Crossroads GT Fall 2015 ? The tourney will be held September 25-27, in Elmira, NY. Their website has some decent 8th edition rule tweeks and comp rules. www.crossroads-gt.com/home.htmlAlso, me 100 posts.

I usually attend this tournament but wasn't able to sign up this year as I couldn't commit to the entire weekend. I live near by however so am planning on stopping in at some point during the weekend to say hello. Kevin usually goes to this event as well but I don't know if he signed up this year.
What army are you planning on bringing?

debating between The Empire of the Sword & Sun (Nippon/Cathay Empire) and Warriors of Slaanesh. Or maybe Dwarf if I get my butt going on some painting.

I wish I could, but that's too far away for me to attend. And new quads...

I'd give you a "Furthest Traveled Award", 1 growler of Scotch Ale. Yum.

Crossroads is an awesome event, and Corey Reynolds is a great TO, I've gone to this tournament since it started 10+ years ago (?). Anyway this year I cannot make it, I'm really hoping Corey continues to run 8th edition tournaments though...

I've done the past 2 years. I did Tomb Kings 2 years ago and 0-4-1, yet still had a great time!

So, 2400 points. Warriors. Here's a list I am considering...
Chaos Lord (1#, 349 pts) General; Mark of Slaanesh; Sword of Striking, Charmed Shield, Talisman of Preservation, Potion of Strength, Poisonous Slime, Soul Feeder, Chaos Steed. Leading 9 Chaos Knights (9#, 431 pts) Doom Knight, Musician, Standard Bearer; Mark of Slaanesh; Barding; Hand Weapon; Ensorcelled Weapons; Chaos Armour; Shield; Fear) w Gleaming Pennant
BSB Exalted Hero (1#, 191 pts) Mark of Slaanesh; Great Weapon; Helm of Many Eyes, Scaled Skin Leading 24 Chaos Warriors (24#, 414 pts) Aspiring Champion, Musician, Standard Bearer; Mark of Slaanesh; Hand Weapon; Chaos Armour; Shield.
Chaos Chariot (3#, 115 pts) Mark of Slaanesh Chaos Chariot (3#, 115 pts) Mark of Slaanesh Chaos Chariot (3#, 115 pts) Mark of Slaanesh
Marauder Horsemen (10#, 200 pts) Horsemaster, Musician, Standard Bearer; Mark of Slaanesh. Hand Weapon; Throwing Axe; Fast Cavalry; Swiftstride; Vanguard; Quick to Fire.
Chaos Warhounds (10#, 80 pts) Swiftstride; Vanguard
Chaos Sorcerer (1#, 200 pts) Mark of Slaanesh; Level 2 Wizard - The Lore of Shadow. Hand Weapon; Chaos Armour, Dispel Scroll. Steed of Slaanesh.
Hellstriders of Slaanesh (5#, 130 pts) Hellreaver; Musician; Standard Bearer. Hellscourges; Shield; Fast Cavalry. Mark of Slaanesh; Soul Hunters; Swiftstride; Vanguard; Always Strikes First.
Chaos Marauders (10#, 60 pts) 10 Chaos Marauders, 60 pts (Hand Weapon)
** *** ** *** ** Lots of fast stuff - multiple vangauard, and tons of flanking capability. I might try and fit a command model into the unit of 10 foot Marauders, if only to grab objectives. Maybe try and fit in another unit of 10 foot Marauders for the same - Only 60 pts.

@therealricksalamone If anyone has spare time at your campaign weekend between games, I'd love to try and crash this into a few contenders. Or, maybe I can play the part of "Nameless Villain".

You should have no problem getting a game with this army.

You should have no problem getting a game with this army. Couldn't tell if sarcasm... or if list is beardy.... Just a lot of mounted dudes. Pretty simple, hulk smash. (But no Daemon Prince, no Dudes-on-Discs, no Chimeras, etc)

Looks like a pretty friendly list to me. A lot of things can go wrong with so many eggs in two baskets. Let us know how it goes.

I think it sounds like a fun list to play. That's usually when I find that I have the most fun in games, when I bring something that people don't usually see. You're not being overly safe, but it'll still be a tough nut to crack. You have plenty of fast elements in there as well as your steamrollers.
