8th Ed. Non model characters

[Labarna]

Hello,
I am quite new here and I have question (now only theoretical one), If I want play character Gor-Rok, or Tetto´eko, which models I can use? I think GW doesn't produce those boys, thus I can play some normal oldblood (possibly scar vet.), and skink priest, or they must be converted, or something like that?


Thank very much

That would be perfectly acceptable. Generally speaking, having proxy's is fine as long as they are clearly marked/defined and your opponent is aware of what that model is representing - even in GW stores. There are, however, some tournaments that you must have a WYSIWYG but that should be posted prior to contestant entry.

If you decide to do a conversion, feel free to post pics of them up if you'd like!

It would be cool to see these guys converted up. The downside is that's all they will be, showpieces. Maybe when the next army book rolls around, all of our SC's might get redone and become useful. Some don't even need their rules changed really, a simple price reduction would be enough.

There are a few players here who use Gor-Rok, or Tetto´eko,
the are some of our better special characters, Keep in mind our
special characters are far from over powered, and should only
be taken for a fun friendly game and not a tournament.


As far as conversions, you could probably get away with using a scar-vet for Gor-Rok,
Tetto´eko on the other hand is so different you will probably have to convert something.

Gor-Rok is completely pointless. He has two wounds, no ward, but hey, immunity to HKB and KB! Hooray! And he costs more than a naked Scar-Vet, but does less than one with a halberd.

The Loremaster of Heavens is for people who think Comet is a nuke. Its not, its a gimmicky asteroid that may end up blowing up a warmachine line, assuming you get it off with it being dispelled or IF killing your Skink unit he's in. Still insanely expensive, and he does nothing a Slann can't do better.

The problem you face is neither can fit into a smaller game anyway, at least not if you want a Slann and/or EOTG.

If they came down in price, they'd be useful in smaller friendly games, where it doesn't matter who you bring largely (it's still very much an infantry vs infantry game at that level).

Hello,
A Little OT, but i just have to say this
Most of our SC suck, but Tetto'Eko is just brutal...
Here in Poland We had a list of Banned SC and he is on the list, next to Teclics and Karios?(two headed Lord of Change)
You know, having a free old Power Scroll and Rerolling a Comet is just of the scale for many players,
Oh and Str5 hits can be good vs infantry too you know...
