Chaos Host

Hi,

In case of a chaos player, I find two differents rules to bound a Chaos Host.

1° WHFB 3rd rule book (p251), a chaos sorcerer must spend 10 MP to bound a Host and after the end of the first engagement they move to the nearest edge table and leave the Battle (or stay in Battle if you spend 20 MP and make a 4+ on 1d6)

2° Slave to Darkness (p193), Creatures of Chaos are bound into monstrous host, no MP are expended to perform this binding, and no binding test after engagement.

The first rule is hard to play. For a 3000pts army, spend 300/400 pts (or more) in one shot units... :?
The second rule is too powerfull : Chimera, Dragon, .... :o

How do you play Chaos Host?

As an Undead player I've never been keen on the binding of hosts using the rules in the main rulebook because, as you say, they tend to be one shot units and some of the Undead ones are very pricey for what they do. So, we never bothered with binding regardless of the army. In answer to your question it's number 2. :)

I wouldn't use RoC rules in a 'standard' game, it's it's own thing. So in a ROC game it's 2, in a WFB game it's 1.
