=====Mount Options=====

* Chaos Dragon - at 360 points and a Hero slot this thing isn't cheap, but it sports two breath weapons, a 3+ save and sixes across the board in the stats department. If you just want the flying and the ''terror'' take a Daemon Prince or even Exalted Daemon, but if you absolutely must put more killing power under your Chaos Lord, this is the way to do it.

* Daemonic Mount - a couple of solid attacks and a Daemonic Ward save to keep it alive. Give the rider the Enchanted Shield and you're looking at something considerably safer than the usual character on non-cavalry mount.

* Juggernaut of Khorne - probably the best of the bunch as far as Exalted Champion mounts go. Has a 4+ armour save of its very own on top of the Daemonic Ward, which is very nice, and WS that basically makes it hit like a Knight Champion.

* Disc of Tzeentch - lousy in a fight but still has W3 and flies 15" per turn. Many of the risks inherent with monstrous mounts go away for Tzeentch characters thanks to the Golden Eye, which keeps them both protected as they zip around spamming spells from medium range.

* Steed of Slaanesh - lower S and T than the Juggernaut or Daemonic Mount, but my God it's fast at 10", and also sports a respectable I5 for those longer combats. Also the cheapest of the bunch, probably because it's that little bit more likely to die.

* Chariot - at 120 points it's not cheap, but it affords bonus armour, brings impact hits, and covers a goodly amount of ground. A great mount for your Sorcerers, since both are best used in pairs anyway.

* Chaos Steed - the budget option (budget being relative, it's still 24 points with mandatory barding), but don't knock it, any Chaos character can hop onto one of these, grab a shield and enjoy a 1+ armour save. While this is normally an extremely desirable default standard, the Daemonic Mounts are strong and fast and cheap enough to be worth taking instead and it's not like Chaos heroes really hurt for armour saves. If points are tight, this is your go-to, but otherwise it's acceptable to spring for the Daemonic version.

* Warhorse - Marauder Lords and Marauder Aspiring Champions only. It's a Chaos Steed with -1 Strength and no Barding, with its only real saving grace being that it is truly the el cheapo option amongst the steeds at +14 points for Marauder Lords and +6 points for Marauder Aspiring Champions.

* Cold One - Marauder Lords and Marauder Aspiring Champions only. This sucker is expensive; +45 points for a Marauder Lord and +37 points for a Marauder Champion. Statwise, it's a Chaos Steed with Movement 7 instead of Movement 8 and Toughness 4 instead of Toughness 3, plus the addition of the special rules Cause Fear, Thick-Skinned (+2 Armor Save), and Stupidity - luckily for you that its riders come with Leadership 9 and 8, huh? Plus a free re-roll of Psychology Tests due to the Mark of Chaos Undivided, though if you're truly afraid, you can take the Mark of Slaanesh and make them Immune to Psychology.
