Return of Reckoning

I played IB with a WP colleague, both 2 handed, and it was a lot of fun. I'd like to know if in destruction I could do this combo with BG and KHAINE (shield/dual wielding)? Or is another composition better, like chosen and khaine... one observation, we don't play ranged.

Magus+Zealot is tough to beat, but if you dont go ranged.. then DoK+Chosen probably. p+tank or dok+tank can be nearly immortal combo

This.
Magus Shaman is also funny. Both deal Elemental dmg. Shamy supports extra toughness, Magus can help Shamy with AoE stagger.

2x tanks may also be hella fun to play.

For example: focused offensive chosen (in slightly modified solo spec) teamed up with FO BG (in something like 11-9-3 spec).

Crossguard, regen aura (and other auras), ranged stagger & ranged slow, BG heals, ST KD, heal debuff, 2x wounds debuff (not sure if they stack tho...sounds OP if they do tbh), anti-detaunt on BG.

In terms of DPS - not sure about BG's peak performance (still got mine in his early 60s), but on my chosen the DPS is hella impressive even without FO (for a tank). I reckon both tanks with FO would dish out something around ~1500-1600 DPS together.

In terms of facing ranged setups - I dont anticiapte issues either, power from the gods+flee on chosen essentially make flee a charge skill (there is a very good reason why any solo SW would simply turn around and run without engaging if they would spot a geared solo chosen dashig their way). The only duo setup which chosen & BG would have issues with - that would be either something super cheesy (like 2x hybrid AMs) or, whats more common, WP (2h/shield) + IB (or any tank in fact).
