Well, when Ulthw? was first being developed, the "Spear of Khaine" was included with the Avatar, similar to the Court of the Young King. ?Then the 40k Eldar Dev team said the "Spear of Khaine" concept was being removed, so, it was removed from EPIC.

Of course, they've now brought it back for 40k: Apocalypse in some new datasheets.

So, should we look to include something like this in Ulthw??

The Sunstorm squadron might be nice as well come to look at it!

That's just a Swords of Vaul Troupe with six Fire Prisms!  *laugh*

Not sure if I want to include the fiddliness of "adding" shots together... Sotec had talked about adding disrupt to the Fire Prisms... but that might be a bit much.

Simply, no.

TCOTYKing was supposed to be BT special ability with all the other eldar lists suffering for not having it.

I am happy with this as both fluff and a difference between the main list and a variant.

Agreed with Tiny Tim, the CotYK is supposed to be a balancing factor for the Biel Tan alone.

I'd be curious what you have in mind.  If it modified the Avatar's abilities more than enhanced them it might be fun to try out.

Basically a +1FF attack... non-MW to represent minor psychic powers or something... nothing spectacular.

I'm actually surprised that the Court of the Young King doesn't do *more*.  Yeah, the Avatar is "free", but a pack of Exarchs should be doing something!  *laugh*
