I'll probably wait for the FAQ before I build anymore acolytes, but honestly I think I'm just going to say hell with it and build my cursed glaives with shields. Not really interesting in converting a bunch of models, but also really hate things not being wysiwyg. I understand most opponents won't care, but I guess I just like my army to be accurate. cursed glaive models can have a shield as i understand it?

So it says the attack sequence ends because that line of that single attack ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that all weapon options are exclusive. So I’m doing Glaive on the Vulcarch, Scroll and Two Weapons models and then pending the faq I’ll just cut off the top and bottom of the daggers. Then just not mounting the shield on their back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played places of power and was able to use his movement shenanigans to put him in range to claim an objective and still have him screened with 10 pink horrors due to them using the Changehost move. Otherwise I move him up the field being the Locus buff bot for my largest unit of Pink Horrors. I typically take Treason of Tzeentch for him so I can get very disgusting on the -1 to hits or put that spell on a unit that's attacking another of my pink units to even out the -1 to hits. I am sure someone smarter has fully evaluated Tome of Eyes for you by now but I think its decent and it does give him something better than arcane bolt to cast. It's a D3 dmg spell at least even if it doesn't always work. But the best reason is the re-roll to cast and you don't have to keep him near anyone else. As a bonus it's a decent little blocker. It has to stay within 1" of the caster so you can use it as an extra model to screen the changeling with and reset where it is every time you move him. That being said just having him spam Geminids every turn and have your LOC eat it at the start of each of you hero phases is probably better.

Xyxel Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Casting Arcane Bolt is not so bad. Easy spell, give Fate Point, can decrease horde bonus or monster damage table characteristics. Changeling knows spells from enemy wizards warscrolls within 9" so You can try to go for that which begs a question: - If You teleport Changeling 9" away from enemy and then summon Vortex, does the Vortex have to be placed 9" away from enemy or centrally from Changeling 40mm base? Hand of Dust cast on Nagash using Destiny Dices? Edited January 24, 2020 by Xyxel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 General questions : - Is there a spell that can be normally cast more than once per magic/hero phase? (I don't speak about trics like ES then dispell then cast again etc...) - what are the sources of making our castings more reliable? I'm in a brainstorming to make the fate points going above 9 in T1 with my list with kairos (in the previous page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a brainstorming to make the fate points going above 9 in T1 with my list with kairos (in the previous page) Some warscrolls have "signature spells" like Nagash, Horrors and Karic Acolytes that specifically specify that they can be cast multiple times in a single phase. In general it's 1 cast per distinct spell per phase though. Lord of Change Command ability, Changecaster's once per battle ability, Horrors get +1 near a daemon hero, Tome of Eyes grants reroll spellcasts, Blue Scribes also grants reroll spellcasts in an aura, some artefacts convey bonus to cast... Our book is literally filled with this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, his own damage spell and all the Endless will most likely result in that if necessary Kairos can dish out a lot of hurt if needed. As to deployment and movements- really up to the mission and what you are up against. You will most likely need to set up solid screens with pinks/acolytes if up against something that can threaten you first turn - if not you will probably need to plan for getting first turn (move up and park on objectives - de-buff and buff as appropriate and summon the first LoC turn 1).

Are they worth taking? Been hearing a lot about Darkfire Demon drift Also, the Tzaangor shaman (or the Great Bray Shaman via the Tzeentch battalion), have access to the Beast of Chaos endless spells. And Archaon can also cast the Hedonite endless spells. We we have access to a dozen endless spells, without resorting to allies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrix Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've got a rules question on adding Tzaangors to an existing unit of Tzaangors via abilities like the Tzaangor Shaman's spell. What equipment are they allowed to have? Could I add a hornblower or standard bearer? What about 2 hander guys or guys with two hand weapons in a unit of guys with shields? I've got some extra Tzaangors from Silver tower that I'm looking to use as additions to units that haven't had any models slain but I'm not sure how limited I'll be with them.

Maybe the ES make the difference... 1. all the mortal wounds adds up to a decent unit and it's not about clearing out whole, and you have 30 horrors between the whole army you have like 1.5 big killy unit power. The difference is you can target down and kill key characters 2. The horrors are rather tanky as they can with support hold an enemy army up veryu well. They are about as durable as 40 clan rats which can be tough to kill to the man. MOre importantly they are supported with ALOT of debuffs, arcane suggesttion is -1 to hit/wound, gemnids is usualy -1 melee attand and -1 to hit against shooting, while treason of tzneetch is another -1 to hit. So you can completely turn off the kill power of most units in the game. Making the horrors very durable when used well. 3. Most the HQs are fragile but with above as long as it's not shooting they aren't really getting to your heros. Now it does get weaker against very long range shooting that goes first, but aleast against someo f that long range shooting you can also give them -1 to hit and they are fragile enough that your horrors and magic can clear out most shooting units. MOst importantly it's an objective based game not one based on killing everything for most missions. Meaning all tzneetch cares to do and all we ahve really cared to do is stay even or near even on points and then core 1 or two more points when our enemy starts to limp or clear a tiny hole.

I've got some extra Tzaangors from Silver tower that I'm looking to use as additions to units that haven't had any models slain but I'm not sure how limited I'll be with them. No, not really. This is covered in a faq. Basically if it says 1/10 can have a horn, then the 10th extra Tzaangor you place could have a horn. You cannot, for example, place an 11th Tzaangor and give him a horn or 2 handed weapon, (I’m assuming your original 10 took all options available). However, if you added 10 extra Tzaangors somehow, your 5th, 6th could be a mutant and 2 hander and your 10th could be horn mutant standard or 2hander. But that’s how you would have to do it, so practically speak, probably not since you likely won’t add that many Tzaangors without losing any.

It’s probably late and I am missing something, but where did you get the 30 flamers (or do you mean that the spell power of the character is equal to approx 30 flamers)?

Making it better against better saves or worse against hordes. That said you do have mini horse buster from the gaunt summoner and reason of tzneetch.
