I have a few questions about mixing different Gods/Marks in an army.

1) Is it legal?

2) Is it wise from a gaming point of view?

3) Can it be justified by fluff?

4) Would it be considered cheesy e.g. to have to have a Greater Demon of Tzeentch and a Greater Demon of Khorne in a 3.000 point army?

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 01:06 PM (GMT)
It's only legall if your general is Undivided then the Fluff justified because a undivided general worships all gods and followers of Slaanesh/Khorne/Nurgle/Tzeentch could join his force.
Yes the list would be seenas a cheesy list by other players( the same of taking undivided sorcerers in an Khorne army).
No a Greater daemon is a general sow it would be inposible to take two greater deamons unless it's a 4000pt army where the general is a undivided human general or an undivided daemon prince.

I believe it is possible to mix the gods together but I can't find anywhere in the rulebooks (beasts, hordes) where it specifies it. According to a guy I know, If you have a marked character you have to have a marked unit otherwise it is illegal.

Same goes with beastherds and beast characters in a hordes list..........apparantely :unsure: .

Can anyone tell me where it specifies any of the rules for mixing marks with characters and mixing beast characters in horde armies, I have both books.

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 01:35 PM (GMT)
If your general has the mark of any of the 4 gods no other marks can jopin your army, that I'm shure of.

Derek101 - August 25, 2005 01:38 PM (GMT)
Aha! But what if your general is undivided and you have another marked character in the army without a ubit dedicated to its patron? Is it still legal?

P.s. very speedily done Kjarl. :D

Tyrion - August 25, 2005 02:01 PM (GMT)
so for example a wargor with the mark of slaanesh cant join a herd since herd arent allowed any marks? is this correct?

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 02:05 PM (GMT)
asq I said in my first post: if your general is undivided you can take whatever untis whatever marks. comprendé ;)

Derek101 - August 25, 2005 02:10 PM (GMT)
I understand that Lord Kjarl but I wasn't asking about units, I was talking about marked characters.

Could, for example, a tzeentch champion be allowed in a all undivided army (with no Tzeentch marks whatsoever) and still be legal? I was told it was a necessary requirement to have a marked unit in an undivided army to be allowed a marked character (of the same god).

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 02:22 PM (GMT)
:unsure: hehe, ah now i understand what you are asking. :D

I don't think sow... And i don't think it's in there ^_^ *re-reads p 46* . Nowp, its not. But a character with a mark can't join a unit with an other mark.

Derek101 - August 25, 2005 02:31 PM (GMT)
Thanks Kjarl (first name terms now, right? ;) ).

to answer your question, he can join the unit, He can't join the army if he isn't the general and there is no slaanesh marked unit in the army. The wargor doesn't necessarily have to join the marked unit. He can join any unit that is marked slaanesh, undivided or unmarked.

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 02:56 PM (GMT)
Lol now I've learned some stuff to :D i didn't know a Champion of slaanesh could join in a unit of Marauders (unmarked). and that could meen that i must mage changes in my tactics ^_^ .

Tyrion - August 25, 2005 03:12 PM (GMT)
oh and yes, you may have a tzeentch charachter and have the rest undivided. there is no need to give units marks if you dont want to, but yes, he cant join units that has the mark of the other chaos gods.

dont really understand what you mean there omid. :mellow: let´s say sub 2k army. then this wargor would obviously be the army commander. let´s say I take another wargor, I can give him whatever mark I like. I dont see that all characters have to bear the same mark. it´s unfluffy and I wouldnt do it, but I could. it was just like funky´s original question whether the army can include units with different marks, the answer to that was that he could, not fluffy unless led by an undivided character, but these things should also apply to charachters :)

I could be because I'm not English. But the General must be a Undivided character or you yust can't take other marks (neither units or characters).

Flame - August 25, 2005 03:51 PM (GMT)
Right, lets try and sort this out.

An Undivided general can have any other marks in his army. He can only join either unmakerd (i.e. marauders, beast herds) or undivided units.

A marked general (Khorne, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch) can only have units/characters with the same mark as he has, or undivded. He may only join unmarked or units with the same mark (i.e. NOT an undivided unit, as OMID said)

If you want a character with a mark in the army, you HAVE to have a unit with the same mark.

Its all on page 55 of HOC book.

LordKjarl - August 25, 2005 06:03 PM (GMT)
Yeps... :D

every thing is on page 55.

Tyrion - August 25, 2005 08:52 PM (GMT)
well said flame, that sorts it out nicely :)
