I just thought of an idea I might try in a small army battle. My buddies and I have 1000 point battles once in a while, and I have a Tehenauin model simply because he looks badass. However I've never found a use for him until now, and even then it's a little risky.
So, I'm wondering although yes he is a level 2 wizard, therefore only gets 2 spells from the lore of beasts, if he were to roll a 6 (or doubles) and get the spell transformation of khadon wouldn't that be pretty much, well awesome. Assuming if you get at least 6 power dice turn 1, you could throw all of them at that spell and in all likelihood, either cast it, or cast it with irresistable force. If cast with irresistable force even better as no one could dispel it. In that scenario, assuming you don't die from the miscast, you could now have a Great Fire Dragon. In a 1000 point battle, this could be epic. 8 wounds and a scaly skin save of +2, I'm pretty sure any 1000 point army would have one hell of a time bringing that sucka down.
If you don't get the spell just run a skink heavy army and use Tehenauin as best as you can. He's still not terrible, just very expensive, however to me, this possibility makes the expense, (nearly) worth it. Just the idea to me seems so kickass, I'm thinking I might try this next game, even if it strategically is very risky, the idea and fun factor of finally using Tehenauin seems worth it.
So I'm just wondering what are people's thoughts on this, also is there anything suggesting that the transformation doesn't work on a miscast? Or that Tehenauin can't use that spell in general.
