1 King Taloren Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You can take the plague touched but it would have to be an ally battalion though only what doesn’t have the Slave tag would count as allies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does everything in that battalion still need the everchosen keyword? Grand Alliance Chaos is not a problem. There is a Question in the Core Rule FAQ: Quote Q: The rules say that a warscroll battalion can include allies and that they don’t count against the number of allies in the army. Does this rule only apply to battalions that share the same allegiance as the army, but that have units from two different factions (a battalion in a Daughters of Khaine army that has Daughters of Khaine and Stormcast Eternals units, for example)? A: Yes. The faction a warscroll battalion belongs to is shown on its warscroll, above the title of the battalion. In addition, the battalion is assumed to belong to the Grand Alliance that its faction is a part of. Warscroll battalions that share the same allegiance as an army can always be taken as part of the army, and if they include any allied units, these units do not count against the limits on the number of allies the army can have (or against the points limit that can be spent on allies in a Pitched Battle). An army can include a warscroll battalion of a different allegiance to the rest of the army, but if it does so the units in it do count against the limits on the number of allies the army can have (and the points for the battalion and the units in it count against the points limit that can be spent on allies in a Pitched Battle). In case of any other allegiance, what @King Taloren said. A main problem with Everchosen is, that the Battalions aren't even useable outside of the Grand Alliance, because since the rules where changed in 2.0 that units, not having the Everchosen Keyword would still be allies in a Everchosen Army (with the difference that they don't count against the limit) instead of becoming part of the Allegiance (and only restricted not able to use Abilities) like it was before 2.0. Everchosen really needs an update, like with Beasts of Chaos, giving the units inside the Battalion the Everchosen Keyword or a new Battletome.
