    Those boxe names felt confusing, is it a named character with an alternative generic build ?

    All of the regiments of renown have featured generic characters but the implication is that when you're fielding the regiment, that generic character is the "named" one.

    So it'll be a generic Harbinger with maybe some alternate build options but nothing for an actual by-god character per se. Just when you're fielding the regiment, said Harbinger will be treated as the named character mentioned in the regiment fluff.

    Smart list idea, and kudos for giving Skyfires a look in. I agree with @Magnus The Blue though - Skyfires are way overcosted. If you want to shoot stuff, Ungor Raiders are your boys. The problem with Skyfires is there's only 3 shots, that hit on 4+s, which can't be modified with AoA. Skyfires don't really do anything in combat, and the most you could expect from them is to clear screens. They can't be taken in Galletian Sharpshooters either so they aren't very good at hero sniping. If you've still got the bits and haven't done an exquisite paint job, I'd highly recommend switching them over to Tzaangor Enlightened on foot (Teof). A unit of 6 enlightened on foot is by far the most cost effective hammer we have access to - they're 90 points for 3, or 180 for 6. Their ability to shut down AoD and gain +1 to wound if you're going second is massive. Here's some comparison between similarly pointed units: 

     

    Sorry if I'm dense here, but why can't Skyfires get the benefit of AoA? The wording on the ability implies they ignore penalties to their hit/wound rolls, and their targets ignore any bonuses to save rolls?

    Since AoA is a bonus to their hit rolls, it wouldn't interact with said ability, no?

    Do you guys know if darkoath warqueens can take a mark of chaos or not? Wahapedia doesnt list MARK OF CHAOS as a keyword, but the warscroll builder lets me add a mark. I tried to check the StD errata, but it says nothing about this.

    See the "Cultists of the Dark Gods" entry on the main page for S2D on Wahapedia. It describes it.

    Yup, look on the points page in general’s handbook; second sentence says “although taken as a set, each is a separate unit”. Until they change it, RAW it works. And MAN will I spam that 35pt Sorc and 30pt warrior BT points!

    Huh, I hadn't seen that aspect of the GHB. Carry on then!

    (as written, the Ravagers are bought as a single unit but split into 4 upon hitting the table).

    Can you explain where you see this? Magore's Fiends I get, since Riptooth and Fiends are specifically called out as being separate warscrolls/units that have to be bought as a set, but I'm looking at the Ravager warscroll and it says one unit with four models.

    I’ve got the spear one, the MW output is nice when it works, but not reliable.  Being able to stand behind someone and fight was handy, but not sure if new coherency rules will scupper that…

    Thanks. I'm thinking the spear as well, but wanted to check around.

    Be'lakor is out for himself and won't hesitate to sacrifice or kill his own team in the process. You can treat it as a warrior on his side that died fighting for him, or part of another Chaos warband that was an obstacle to Be'lakor's ambitions.

    I picked up Soul Wars a little back, more aiming at the Nighthaunt side but have the Stormcast side still as well. I'm planning on picking up some Evocators so I can field a legal unit, but is there anything else I should look at in the near future to build out what I have with Soul Wars a little?

    I know 3.0 is coming and that with Stormcast in the core box we might be looking at a Stormcast battletome soon which might potentially revamp things, but any suggestions at present?

    Oh fraptious day. I hope these new rules are true. I never saw the point of the weapons teams in the current shooting meta, but hidden teams is such a sneaky Skaven tactic 😁

    And I'm super excited for the moulder mutations. I've been building up my moulder models recently. 

    Are these going to be 3.0 rules, part of the broken realms or a new battletome? 

    They're part of BR: Kragnos, but hopefully a preview of when they get around to a Skaven 3.0 battletome.

    Meanwhile, Lady Olynder and her Nighthaunt were tricked into an alliance with the famously deceitful Be’lakor. But she’s no fool, so she forced him to give her something in return. He promised the Mortarch of Grief the souls of the Stormcast Eternals, which seems like a pretty sweet deal to us. More on that in a bit… 

    The new Warcomm article that brings us up to speed with the lore mentioned this. Do we know anything about it from Be'Lakor's book or is there something new coming?

    It's in Be'lakor.

    What's your source? GWs description speaks of a "dormant occupant". After the recent changes to some warscroll I don't agree that Nighthaunt care about vampires or necromancers anymore and vise versa.

    Reducing the Black Coach's concept to its coffin would simply make it a shrine. Having Flying and Ethereal confirms that it's a ghostly unit primarily. I bet the old Vampire Counts coach didn't had such keywords. It's concept changed and I think the warscoll should respect that.

    See attached image, part of the Black Coach description in the Nighthaunt battletome.

    At the very least I assume that means all the warscrolls would be updated ASAP, lets us see what we're getting immediately with 3.0 instead of having to wait for a tome. (Although I imagine a tome would be taken as an opportunity for further updates).
