Yea, spreading the champion / lord / icon bearer throughout the units available in the formation means 3 invulnerable saves, hurrah! but means they potential of the formation dips as the casualties come in... the 'eggs in one basket' approach has the advantage that, as long as the unit doesn't get splattered over the games table early on, you have access to all of those abilities whilst that uber unit is still alive.. one of those swings and roundabouts situations I think. Shall have a think about how I want to model these bad boys up... but good to know I can go with either option

(obviously you guys know that, I'm just rambling out loud to myself!!)

I'm guessing this means I may be seeing a chaos army on table opposite me soon then?

'soon' might be stretching it but in a nutshell, yes! ordered some bits and pieces this afternoon and been trawling ebay like a man possessed looking for OOP goodies for the past week or so

edit: either an EC list or word bearers 'counts as' BL list at the mo, still undecided between the two... depends what I can / can't get off of ebay too maybe a bit of both, build the EC list with the intention of using elements of it within a BL list... Oooh... gaming project coming up
