SUPER BATTALION: Arcanite Cult – 1 Arcanite Cabal and 8 of any of the other battalions –Same as any Super Battalion. Wildly impractical, it honestly doesn’t matter what it does. However, you have to rush to activate before your target or you will not be able to use the ability. In melee it has the same considerations as Guided by the Past where Uttered Words can statistically do more damage on a lower ability score. Tzeentch Arcanites are the mortal followers of the Architect of Fate, the Chaos god Tzeentch. Many mortal worshippers of Tzeentch are sorcerers, among the most ambitious and the hungriest for power of his servants. Scholars and other educated elites who desire unearthly knowledge and power are often drawn to the service of Tzeentch. [1] Overview But also, this unit is very cheap, so I get that you don't want to make them too badass.These guys are sort of meant to be the "ranged answer" to Tzaangors, with an 18" shotgun and a Sorcerer-boost, so I didn't want to emphasise melee too much – the cursed blades/arcanite shields are an option, because those models exist, but making them especially buff in melee wasn't the intent. Partly because, as you've noted, that'd drive up their cost. Re-rolling wound rolls isn't much weaker than +1A, in practice, but it's less likely to explode. Then again, Chaos Cultists can get 2A and a pistol without trading on Tzaangor toes, so just making "Twin Cursed Blades" into a Chainsword/Brutal Assault Weapon might not be the worst idea. Would need to drop the AP-1 entirely to ensure the costing's okay compared to Cultists. Which one to use depends on personal preference, but a good mix allows to get the brute strength of Tzaangors (Mutants in first line) and the decent range of the Acolytes (keeping a Vulcarch in consideration for his ability).

player, 5-round Grand Tournament in Madrid, Spain on October 08 2022. All the lists for this event can be found in Best Coast Pairings. The Showdown Artefact of Power: Fanged Circlet –Summon a unit of 6 screamers within 9″ of the bearer once per battle. It’s once per battle but free units is free units. B- to Hit a friendly TZEENTCH DAEMON in melee if it is wholly within 12″ of a TZEENTCH DAEMON HERO. Not too fancy but damned appreciated. Tzeentch units have pretty terrible saves on average so giving them that extra layer of protection helps filter out blows. From the Crystal Labyrinth Treason of Tzeentch –Casting Value 5. Roll a die for each model in a unit and for each 6, deal a Mortal Wound. If any models are killed as a result of this, that unit has -1 to hit for the turn. A much more streamlined version of the old spell and I’m a big fan of it. You still gotta be smart with it though. Cast it on large units with 1 wound models, don’t bother against a 5 man squad of Orruk Brutes, that won’t really do anything for you. A- Your speed daemons and objective grabbers, these sky-sharks will make absolute mincemeat out of the enemy. Their ability to damage units they fly over, coupled with their ridiculously high speed makes them wonderful assassins. Just don’t expect them to weather much return fire with only a 5+ save. 6. Curseling

Guided by the Past expects the enemy to be in range (2” or 7/12” if the first action is a move) and already activated this round meaning that potentially they already hit your model.Overseer’s Fate-Twisters – 1 Lord of Change and 8 units in any combination of HORROR HEROES, Exalted Flamers, Burning Chariots –With this Battalion you can roll up a new Destiny Dice each round and if the Lord of Change is still breathing you can replace one of your Destiny Dice with a new one that you roll up, which is a good way to get rid of those mostly useless 3s and 4s. This Battalion would be a lot better if you had more unit variety. Exalted Flamers are nice but that cost is going to add up fast. B

Solid shooting –One of the better “shooty” armies. Shooting is less common in Age of Sigmar than 40k so this is a real advantage.convey. My only real complaint is that you get the same sprue twice, so there aren't 8 individual miniatures. They Once you have a foundation of where you want your Tzeentch list to go, start experimenting. Whether you choose to focus on daemons or chaos your units likely won’t change as you only have a handful of choices for battlelines. They all serve specific roles and you need them to succeed with Tzeentch. Your “other” category you have more room to flex out on but the Tzaangor Enlightened for Mortals and Flamers for Daemons will remain very useful to you.
