I just want to make sure that I have this order correct when an attack targets a hero near a unit of Immortis Guard To hit rolls To wound rolls Save rolls from the targeted hero Calculate damage Roll for Soulbound Protectors and pass wounds to Immortis Guard Extra abilities (deathless warriors, empowered battle-shields, ...) Take damage

In the thread you mentioned, near the top, there is a FAQ question that directly contradicts what you just said. The warscroll batallions in a battletome belong to ALL factions in that battletome. Soulblight can take Crimson Keep, Deathmarch, Nightfall Pact, or any other warscroll battalion in the Legions of Nagash book.

This is answered in the FAQ Q: Can the warscroll battalions for specific Legions be taken outside of the Legion named on their warscrolls? A: The First Cohort can only be taken as part of the Grand Host of Nagash (because the other Legions cannot include Nagash). Any other battalions for specific Legions can be included as part of a different Legion as long as that Legion also includes the Mortarch that must lead it. For example, to include the Court of Nulahmia in a Legion of Sacrament army, the army would also have to include Arkhan the Black (because if the Legion of the Sacrament has any Mortarchs, one must be Arkhan).

The rule specifically says that the bonus applies to "... casting, dispelling, and unbinding". It does apply. I don't see why First of the Mortarchs wouldn't affect where you can place the endless spell. It said that it increases the range of spells cast by wizards. Endless spells have a range and are spells so I would guess that they would be affected.

I have a few questions about how command points interact with Ossiarch Bonereapers. I believe that all of the answers to these are "no", but I just want to make sure. 1. What happens if you purchase an extra command point for 50 points when building the army? Do you get an extra point in the first round? I've seen a couple of lists where they purchased the extra point and I didn't think it worked like that. 2. If you have your commander standing next to a commanding piece of terrain, do you generate an extra relentless discipline point? 3. You you have a hero who has the Aetherquartz Brooch and he uses a relentless discipline point, do you get a chance to roll for an extra point? 4. If the enemy has a hero that interacts with you gaining command points (Katakaros, Kurdross, ...), does this ability trigger when you refresh your relentless discipline points? 5. Can Ossiarch Bonereapers use any of the basic 6 command abilities (re-roll charge, automatic 6 for run, ...)?

It gets easier to kill models as the "attacking" model (e.g. the Mortek Crawler) takes damage. This is due to the damage chart where it starts off with a -3 to the 2d6 roll, but, as it takes damage, it increases to a +3 after taking 10 wounds. So, to kill a 5 wound model with the crawler at full health, it would take a roll of at least an 8. However, if the crawler has taken 10 wounds, it would only take a roll of a 2 (the minimum you can roll on 2 dice).

I'm looking at the Mortek Guard and it says that 1 model in the unit can be a Mortek Hekatos, which has 1 additional attack and that 1 in every 10 models can have a Soulcleaver Greatblade. Can I pick the same model to be the Mortek Hekatos and have the greatblade, so he has 1 additional attack with that weapon? I don't see any restrictions on this but I want to make sure that this is legal before I begin modeling.

I'm wondering if this is just me, but it seems to me that the Nadirite Blades are always better than the spears. I feel like the -1 rend would always be better than the 2" attack range, even if I'm fielding a full unit of Mortek Guard. As for the deathriders, the extra hits on 5s is nice, but its hard for me to think that its better than -1 rend. Have I overlooked something? What are your thoughts on this?
