If I could recommend a good starting army it would be Slaves to Darkness for your new player.
Pretty forgiving and honest warhammer with a lot of feel good moments.

[@Thelibertator]

Good point. He has yet to have an opportunity to try many other armies. He chose what looked the coolest to him of the choices available. And Khorne looks pretty cool to be sure.

[@brettjeff9227]

Nice to see some casual games on the channel. Khorne can be a challenging army to jump into with a lot of timing and positioning to plan out.
Corey seemed to hold his own vs a pretty aggressive army
With bodyguard rules being clarified as ward, do you feel Ar'gath King of Blades seems auto include for all Khorne lists going forward?

[@Thelibertator]

I’d say that Ar’gath King of blades is definitely worth taking especially with the amount bodyguards that are in the current meta. If you’re taking a daemon General it’s a top pick.
