Grailstorm Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Am I missing something obvious with these? How do you get them in a game? Or are the majority of them illegal in matched play? Unless, when it outlines the necessary “mortal hero” and “mortal units”, you can only really use Archaon and Varanguard in the battalions? It’s just the pictures show multiple non-Everchosen units.

0 EMMachine Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It was in intended to use Slaves to Darkness and other mortal god worshipper units. 2.0 really messed up the battalions because the units inside the battalion are still allies (just not counting towards allypoints). The only way to play them at the moment is playing chaos allegiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battalions are Everchosen battalions, so as per the FAQ can be taken in an Everchosen army as allies but without using the ally point pool, as you mention. But they’re still completely legal to take. You just cant give any of the heroes an item, as they’re allies. If you take them in a Chaos army, then they are not allies at all and can be given items as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, after the units inside the battalion are still Allies. You can't use Marauders or Chaos Warriors as Battleline, which means even if you use the Gaunt Summoner + 3x Varanguard you have to pay 1000 points for your minimum requirements in case of 2000 points.
