TheAntsAreBack Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think I remember someone from the Warhammer Community team saying that there would be a way of putting the mark off Nurgle on a unit of beastmen in the new Beasts of Chaos book without having to take the whole battalion. I've got the book in front of me and I can't find an option anywhere. Can anyone confirm or otherwise whether it's possible? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAntsAreBack Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 If that's the only way then it would entail taking a hero and three units of gors, all as allies, which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoshi Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 No, using the battalion doesn't make them allies as they got the Nurgle keyword. The conceptors clearly stated this on Stream, even if I'm not sure if it's right rulewise or a specific loophole (we need to wait the FAQ I guess). But I agree with you, paying the battalion tax + the minimal units points is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAntsAreBack Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm thinking of the Nighthaunt battalions that can be taken in a Legions of Nagash army. They have to be taken as allies even though they gain the appropriate keyword. Perhaps this will be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been promised an FAQ making them not allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Wastelands Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Have just raised a similar point in BoC thread about the khorne one, then saw this. I think all it would take is for the relevant battalion to have dual allegiance, e.g. BEASTS OF CHAOS, NURGLE (above the name); in which case it’s slightly odd they didn’t do so.

I was surprised that wasn't how they dealt with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
