Hi,
I'm a 40k player and use Tzeentch Daemons/Tzeentch CSM. I have recently decided to also start AoS with my DoC. Just asking, what are the rules for casting/unbinding with a multi-wizard squad, for example my Pink Horrors. In 40k, there is Brotherhood of Sorcerers, but in AoS, it appears to me that a ten-man unit with keyword wizard contains ten individual wizards! Is this right? I played it like this yesterday and it seemed wrong and broken. Can somebody please clarify the rules for multi-wizard squads?

It explains it on the Warscrolls in question, a unit of Pink Horrors can attempt to cast one spell and dispell one spell per turn. Hope that helps!

Thanks. Is this always the case?

The Warscroll will always tell you exactly how many spells a unit can cast/dispel. In terms of multiple model units that are wizards, the only other example I can think of off the top of my head is the 'Sisters of the Thorn' and they work in the same way, the unit can cast/dispel one spell a turn.

The unit itself is the wizard, the individuals in it are not. So a unit of 10 Pink horrors would count as a single wizard, not 10.

The unit itself can cast/unbind once, a unit of 10 cannot cast/unbind 10 times.

It also does not vary with unit size; a unit of 27 pink horrors is still 1 wizard, a unit of 3 pink horrors is still 1 wizard.
