Are you talking about the battlesmith's artefact totem or is there an actual prayer that I must have glossed over to dispell?

Just finished playing at Broadside Bash GT. I will tell you that the lack of "extra" compared to other 2.0 armies was def felt. By "extra" it is just the little things that add up it is hard to explain. I truly enjoyed playing against Nighthaunt as zilfin because everything I could reroll 1's bc they are all fliers. The lack of a solid option to combat against magic really really hurt. One major thing we have going is that we don't quite have a "meta" list. Not many knew what my list did so one opponent placed Nagash and arkhan close enough to where after movement phase they were dead in the shooting phase... didn't even need to get my riggers into combat with him. What will really hurt is when/if ark co get hit with the way Skaven did with stormfiends... can only equip with whats in the box. So there goes my skyhook spam.

At LVO I was talking to some guys and I heard a cool idea for (if) we get a new battle tome this year. Obviously we would be similar to khorne where we wouldn't have an endless spell per say but what about a really good terrain piece. The terrain piece would be just the bow of an aircraft carrier (or mobile skyport etc) that would have to be on a board edge and can change locations on a die roll etc. It could give buffs, repair ships, bombard nearby units etc but the idea we had been talking about was summoning. When a KO unit kills a unit, the army gets an aethergold bounty worth half the point value of the unit. You would then use the aethergold to hire (summon) additional KO units. So for example if you kill Archaeon at 700ish points, you would be sitting at 300ish points worth of aethergold to "hire" a gunhauler, maybe some more ark co etc. Just a lot of really cool ideas were being thrown around and made me hopeful for GW doing something great with the update.
