I used/use Marauder horsemen all the time with flails. You'd be surprised how many opponents underestimate them, or just plain don't know what they can do. I made my own plastic ones using a box set of marauders, empire knights and a little creative converting/greenstuffing.

It is perfectly clear In the army book they are classified as talismans that say, as with dispel scrolls you can take more than one (up to a max of 3 I believe which is the max magic resistance). The WFB rule book quite clearly states that you can't have more than one talisman so you can't take both...

I tried this list a few weeks ago and got wiped out to a man by an orgy army. I charged his command unit and wiped them out but for one lucky ward save and ended up flank charged by a unit of iron guts who killed all of the COK's until only the witch king himself and malus stood against them. Even w...

I mentioned in another thread (which was a duplicate lol) that there are other head options for the Lord - some rather nice looking khornate helms for them to wear :)

Pity we can't use Archaon any more. The Hordes of Chaos book is no longer in use, the list that is valid is in the White Dwarf. While not a terribly good list it does have redeeming moments for e.g. a khorne lord with killing blow, a shield that negates magic weapons, and magic resistance 3 along wi...

Something that has been confirmed to me by GW staff who shall remain nameless is that there are several head options for the Lord on the juggernaut, the horned one being one, the helm as per the image on the front of the WOC book being another so there will be customisable options for the lord. Look...

I know it doesn't really fit but the tomb scorpions from the Tomb Kings armies make great bodies for hybrid models. I made a demon prince hybrid that had the torso of a chaplain molded onto the body of the tomb scorpion. Taking Shelob from LOTR models might work in terms of giant spiders, or you cou...

Nope, rule book clearly states you can't have more than one talisman on a model (except for the multipiles of the Null talisman). It's to stop situations like where someone is taking the Pendant of Khaeleth and the Talisman of Protection so that they can't actually be killed at all.

It isn't in it yet, it's one of the cities that was put on hiatus until after the launch and they can get it done properly. And given the setting of the game and the fact that the Druchii will once more be warring over their homeland, it's highly likely the witch king himself would want to be there ...

Nope :) Just means you'll dominate them in the magic phase unless they've a lot of magic resistance and a heck of alot of DD's. Just be sure to tailor the spell lores to try and best make the most of your opponent.

I normally take a unit of 15 (or 18 if they're 6 wide) but no more as any block larger than that will draw too much attention as Tones said. Then you'll have to face the unit getting shot to heck or fried by magic. If you're taking a large block then a CoB is nearly essential to give them some manne...

The good thing about it is that any shooting would need 5's or 6's to hit them and even then they still get a nice wardsave. Plus I'd hope there'd be more important things in your army for them to worry about killing than the COB.
