PS Vargard Obyron + a unit of lychguard with warscythes = something dies every single turn with Ghotswalk Mantle. That's insanely powerful, and according to his sheet its not a once per battle deal either, but every movement phase he and a unit can just pop around 1" away from enemies and have a guaranteed charge. So i may have misread ghostwalk mantle, as the sentence structure is a little convoluted, but doesn't he have to deepstrike within 6" of Nemesor? That makes it much more situational. Otherwise it's one of the best abilities in the game.

Reading it again, I believe Eric is right, they have to end up within 6" of Nemesor. Still, it can be a scary ability if say, you bring in Nemesor through a Monolith or Night scythe teleport, specifically because those teleports happen at the beginning of the move phase and Ghostwalk Mantle takes place at the end.

For some reason when reading it the first time I had thought it said within 6" of varguard obyron, meaning you couldn't deep strike the other infantry unit just anywhere on the board, they had to accompany him. Welp, very situational, but still can be decent if you drop off Nemesor Zandrekh somewhere juicy and use him like a homing beacon.

My necron buddy made the same mistake when reading it. It would make oberyn like the best model in the game. They scrapped deathleaper's 1" deepstrike and that was only for a single specific enemy character.

Something I'm also interested to see is the new Flayed Ones rules in action. The -1 attack is a bummer, but -1 to leadership for every slain model has quite a bit of potential.

Honestly he needed something like this, last edition he was basically an overpriced way to get a second GW mantle. I used his paired Overlord constantly and still almost never fielded him. This is encouraging, especially since I am developing a paranoia that the Orc codex is going to be a huge flop. Glad you convinced me to hang on to them.

The one that gives -1 AP at half range is great.

Yup, that would be mine. -2AP on regular troops is brutal

Absolutely. Mephrit will be my dynastic code of choice, no question.
