Afternoon all,
this is all gonna revolve around the Forge world Bloodthirster.
Khorne can normally only have 8 maximum Blood tithe but, as per its latest warscroll, if your army includes the FW exalted greater daemon of khorne then your maximum goes up to 16.
Say throughout the course of the game you use this maximum of 16 blood tithe to bring in any manner of combination of deamons as per the normal summoning table but never actually the big dude himself. you played the game with this new higher maximum because the FW model could have come down but never did. (most of you can probably guess where this is going).
So at what point is the FW thirster 'included' in your army?
He obviously doesn't have to start on the table as the whole reason the blood tithe is increased is so that he can be summoned using it later.
So you need the model then?
But using the example above he may never actually appear for tactical reasons (or w/e) in which case having the model is moot; having the model but never getting him out of the case, was it ever there at all?! (schroeder's Bloodthirster anyone?)
So you just need the warscroll then?
In which case i can make sure i bring a copy to any khorne game and that will increase my Blood tithe to 16 essentially becoming the now default amount.
This could perhaps even go a step further and you dont even need to have the warscroll with you, in the same way putting aside points in the last edition gave you access to any summonable unit (as long as you met the conditions on its scroll) having the khorne allegiance now gives access to the khorne summon units, which gives access to the Forge world Bloodthirster, which puts the max Blood tithe at 16.
Thoughts?
