Archaon HAS to be turned into a spawn right?

Post by /\\//\ »

Well GW have said no characters from army books will die and turning into a Chaos spawn isn't exactly dying.

Well if Archaon has just failed in his mighty task as the Lord of the End Times and not even failed it well (he never even breached the walls of Middenheim) then surely he has to be turned into a Spawn? The Chaos gods are known for not taking failure well and can turn Chaos Characters into spawn if they just run away (Gaze Of The Gods).

I must say they would have to come up with a pretty good story to avoid this happening.

Strange, on all of the previous ocasions a champion of light had to kill the everchosen to win, but this time we arent even sure if Valten is the champion.

the other posability is that they wont die but be sucked into an eternal struggle, item, or the void. i could see the loremaster causing archaon to sneak into the temple of ulric and compete for the record of longest eternal battle

I would really like to see GW talk themsels out of that. The defenders win very clearly but acheaon still wins by sneaking into the temple of Ulric.

oh, they will probably start the explination off with a note that "GW giveth and GW taketh away" so basically "you may disagree with this and we MAY forget to keep you army in 7nth ed." :)

Perhaps Belakor will doom him to etarnal madness and insanity?
That is not dying but sure is a punishment!

Wait for the final wrap up fluff in the next WD. You will get to see the results of the Champion of Light (Volmar the Grim) vs Belakor and perhaps Achaon.

It will certainly be interesting.

I think that if he fails he should be turned into a Chaos spawn.
The Druchii will one day destroy the Highelves, and the Witch elves bathe in thier blood. All those that are faithful to the Druchii shall be rewarded.

Are you faithful??

i honestly doubt they would do anything to any characters, and i was overly surprised when they killed of garagrim, though even that had its ups (the slayer thingy is lifted on ungrim and so on), and changin archaon into a spawn would create too many problems game wise, as people would call for a rules change (which im sure gw cant be stuffed doin, and i dun blame them!)

why not? they are going to have to write giant slayer stuff for the slayer cult because they killed garagrim, they made it harder on themselves.

well, i guess they could change him, but it would take a lot of time and effort, and atleast until they bring out the new wd in 3 months where the whole aftermath of the campaign is told, they have to keep him the same. Nevertheless, i doubt they will change him, just because he has been a main character for a longer time than garagrim.
