  1. Sorry for the delayed response, I was moving and as such my battletome was packed away and I was only able to get to it today. On page 67 it states "f a unit already has a Damned Legion on its warscroll different to the one you chose, it cannot gain another. You can still include that unit in your army, but you cannot use the allegiance abilities for its damned legion". I assumed that meant that the Gaunt Summoner could not use Rally the Tribes as it is one of the Ravager's allegiance abilities and it has Everchosen listed on it's warscroll?
  2. @JPjr That is why I prefer named characters that can either be built as alternate units or proxy for alternate units. I think it is great that Volturnous can be an Akhelian King or Arch-Kavalos Zandtos can be built as a Liege-Kavalos. Despite being different models, I will gladly allow someone proxy Gotrek as a Doomseeker or Lord Kroak as a regular Slann. But it gets tricky when the army does not have an easy alternative as with characters such as Archaon, Lady Olynder or the Celestant-Prime. It is interesting that they just alleviated this concern with Brokk Gurngsonn and the Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit. Sometimes I just want my Lord of Change to have two heads with none of the fear of contradicting the lore of Karios Fateweaver.
  3. I don't see why people are down on the Ossiarch's getting a foothold or any sort of power in the Allpoints. That seems like a major victory allowing Nagash easier access to the realms and also destabilizing Archaon's hold. Yes it is a baby step compared to Katakros killing Archaon. But I would be more upset if the main villain was just killed just for the sake of progressing the narrative and making the new guys seem tough.
  4. @HariochI hadn't considered him for the ally role, as I always viewed Be'lakor as Chaos' answer to Starscream, but that would be a really awesome use for the character. I have also always wanted to buy his model and now that I have returned to Warhammer after a very long hiatus I am excited to finally get my grubby claws on him... although, I am a touch daunted by his resin wings.
  5. I think that Katakros is going to take most of the Allpoints/Eightpoints and make headways into the Varanspire itself. I think there will be continued resistance within the Varanspire but that Katakross will have effectively taken over as its ruler. I feel that there needs to be consequences for the lore always indicting that Archaon rules on the frontline while leaving his base of operation in lesser hands. Furthermore, in a campaign book about siege warfare that is largely centred on Chaos, I assume there will need to be missions in which they are the defenders (Katakros initial attack) and the attackers (the titular Wrath of the Everchosen). I also assume that Katakros knows that Archaon could take him in a fair fight and that is why he attacks when Archaon's focus is elsewhere. I also hope that Be'lakor is involved in stabbing Archaon in the back, and that the Legion of the Dark Prince can make use of traitorous Varanguard (even if I cannot personally afford the models). I also assume that this will keep Chaos and Death preoccupied when Gordrakk besieges Azyr, which will have its own campaign book and possibly introduce the Giant faction.
  6. @elfhead Thanks for recommending that I check out this thread. Your army is amazing and very coherently realized, I am envious of your skills and attention to detail. I cannot wait to see the ways in which you twist and corrupt Teclis' force into some more of Slaanesh's followers. I am working on a (loosely) Crusader inspired Chaos force that I am calling the Cardinals of Chaos, due to their red and white colouration. The theme I have developed for them is that they were devotee's of Sigmar that went on a crusade to the All Points and returned as disciples of the Dark Gods. No where near the level of skill required on my behalf, but a theme that I am enjoying working around.
  7. @elfhead good point, but I do not think that it would be an identical conflict to the film, but rather a parallel as Teclis and the citizens of Hysh may be in direct conflict. Although now that I put more though into it, a Lumineth Realm-lords/Slaanesh box would probably be more lore friendly and combines two opposing grand alliances. Seeing the similarities between the plumes on the Pointy Aelves and Shalaxi, makes me hope that Slaanesh's 'mortal' followers will be a force of corrupted Aelves. We do have some Aelf chaos worshipers in the Splintered Fang warband in Warcy but with a different aesthetic.
  8. I move that we retitle this thread: Eltharion in armour reborn! On a more pertinent note: San, the titular Princess Mononoke, comes into conflict with Lady Eboshi and the residents of Irontown for their negative impact and thoughtlessness towards nature and the forest's spirits. Is it possible Teclis is protective of the spirits and is brought into conflict with the residents Hysh? Now I am hoping for a dual box of Lumineth Realm-lords vs Cities of Sigmar.
  9. Hello All, I am an old warhammer fantasy player from the good old days of 6th edition fantasy. In 6th edition I played Chaos and Dark Elves primarily against my cousin's Lizardmen, Vampire Counts and Dwarves. I was never super competitive and he was very interested in the meta, but despite horrible losses I always enjoyed our games. I also played The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game with my older brother which made me more interested in narrative gaming. I have recently re-entered the fold with the purchase of a Slaves to Darkness battleforce and the Warcry starter set. I am also looking to start an Order army to combat my current force, but I am still debating which army to start but I am leaning towards something Aelvish (this is subject to change as I am very tempted by Tzeentch and Gloomspite). In returning to the hobby, I have spoken to a number of friends on the subject and a number of people including my cousin have decided to join me. As someone who suffers from some issues relating to social anxiety, this has been a really touching and unexpected outcome of returning to the hobby. --Neverchosen
  10. I enjoy the Teclis model and I don't mind him floating beside the Sphinx creature. My only complaint is that he seems awkward and stiff, which as a former Dark Elf player fits my vision for the character pretty well.
  11. Well folks, I guess that I get my wish for an Aelven Cavalry army. I dunno how I will be able to afford it, but I am excited.
  12. @Koradrel of Chrace I was interpreting it more as the two lines being more intricately linked to one another. Furthermore, I was hoping for the twins to be allied with one another and useable in a shared alliance with the Idoneth as the martial force and the pointy aelves as the cultured side that privilege magic and ranged units. Although, I am personally hoping to run a traditional Elven cavalry army with Teclis' aelves. However, I think that you have a really good point about the rivalry being a great alternative to the old High-elf/Dark-elf fantasy trope. Also, I think in wanting a unified sea/magic aelven army I willfully ignored the uniqueness and core identity of the Idoneth. But, I selfishly would still like Teclis aelves to adopt the City of Sigmar rule of taking one in four units without breaking allegiance requirements.
  13. I don't imagine the Seraphon being squatted/retired anytime soon. However, if they don't get announced soon, I imagine that there might be a massive overhaul of their line and lore. If they don't get a quick 2.0 book for a simple rule update than I can imagine their reintroduction being something with real narrative consequence. Also, I can easily imagine the release of a Slaves to Darkness/Seraphon box.
  14. Hello all, I am really hoping to run a dragon prince style cavalry army with Hysh Aelves. I also really hope that they will be able to have a shared alliance with Idoneth. All the best!
  15. Hello everyone, I am very interested in the upcoming 'pointy aelves' and the lore surrounding the return of Teclis. I know it is highly improbable, but I hope that Tyrion is not part of the army and that he becomes a patron god for the Idoneth Deepkin. I would also like if the two factions easily allied with one another, despite obvious tensions. The rules for including Stormcast in Cities of Sigmar set a very good precedent. Furthermore, I hope there are specific rules (a battalion perhaps) for fielding the twins alongside units from both armies. I also hope for a similar situation for Malerion's Aelves and the Daughters of Khaine.
  16. Hey everyone, I am new to the community and I have a question that seems fairly obvious—yet, I am finding it difficult to find a specific answer. If I use a Gaunt Summoner in a Ravagers list are they able to use the Rally the Tribes command ability? I assume they can't because they have the Everchosen Keyword but I have seen some people stating some conflicting opinions on the subject. I apologize, if this is a silly question or if it has been asked already.
