Looks like a pretty cool list to me. Just a few questions and thoughts. For the 10 strong units of marauder horseman and warhounds I would think that splitting these up into 5 strong units would be better tactically. This would give you extra drops and these units are really chaff type units either way. 5 can still tie up warmachines, block units, etc. What role are you thinking for the 10 strong hand weapon marauder unit? They don't do much in combat and you already have small expendable units in the list. Finally, I would maybe try and find the points to change the level 2 into a level 4. Just my two cents.
If I am able to make it this weekend I would love to play against you. But I don't know yet if I will be there.

They don't do much in combat and you already have small expendable units in the list. The Crossroads tourney rules dictate that a disrupted unit will LOSE steadfast. A unit of 10 Cav is enough to disrupt. My goal is to maneuver and use the small units of 10 to hit a flank/rear charge to break otherwise steadfast blocks of infantry.

A smart player will shoot and kill one of those riders rendering them useless. That's the thing that hurts when fielding units of 10 cav.

Defiitely a friendly list, but I like it a lot I'm a friendly guy. Maybe getting slapped around in 3 or 4 games this weekend will prepare me and make me take a tougher list.

Ah, play for fun. That's what I say. Why else would you bother?
Besides, a unit of 10 like that can have plenty of other uses other than just disruption. They can grab objectives, hunt war machines (I hate having to allocate a round of shooting to just clearing chaff, BTW.), or they can get a flank/rear charge off on a unit that is already engaged, tipping the CR scales in your favor.

I am playing around with points... I can bump the 2 units of Fast Stuff (Marauder Cav and Warhounds) from 10 to 12. That would make even a cagey crossbowmen think about how much and how many resources to deploy to take said unit from 12 to 9 (or 10, depends on how they deploy).

RULES QUERY: Warriors of Chaos 2400 point army... Taking a Lord of Chaos. Mark of Slaanesh. Lets me mount the Lord on a Steed of Slaanesh. Awesome.
Am I reading this right? The Steed of Slaanesh has the Fast Cavalry rule and the Vanguard rule.
If so, can I have my Lord join a unit of Marauder Horsemen (Fast Cav). If so, can this unit Vanguard?

Wilson all models with the Fast Cav special rule may vanguard. So, yes!

Wilson, are you planning on getting to the hotel Friday afternoon/evening? I'm not attending the tournament because I have a 1 week old baby at home so couldn't commit to the entire weekend but I was planning on coming for a while either Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Then I got thinking that maybe you and I could get a game in on Friday. So, if you are planning on being around Friday evening and want to get a game in I can come to the hotel. I live pretty close. Let me know.

I am driving in early (7:00am) Saturday morning and spending Saturday night at the hotel. Games on Sunday morning, then travel home Sunday afternoon.
Even though I really really want to... I can't commit for the Friday night game.

No worry, just figured I would check. If I don't see you this weekend enjoy the tournament.
