Hey all,
Searched all over, figured I would start a new thread.
Do you pay points for the Command Barge AND the Overlord? Is it two choices? Or is it just one?
I am clear that it is a single model and it can't disembark. But the language on the data sheet says "commanded by an Overlord" but the overlord isn't listed on the Wargear. So I am not clear if you "buy" him or if he counts. Kinda of like a Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor, you don't buy those things separate.

Can anyone shed some light?

Is is Overlord points + CCB points? Or just CCB points?

You just pay for the Catacomb Command Barge. You'll notice that the CCB is ALREADY an Overlord, as per its Keywords. "This unit contains" means you're already paying the points for everything in that description.

This unit contains 1 Catacomb Command Barge, commanded by an Overlord.

That... is actually is pretty damn vague!
They also directly refer to an object called an 'Overlord' and an object called a 'Catacomb Command Barge' separately within the War-gear options
Yet the reason why I am calling them objects is due to the fact the rest of the Rules refer to 'This Model' in a way that can only apply if both objects are a single Model... which also matches the intent of getting rid of 'Chariots' to begin with
In addition, the 'Profile for Models within this Unit' section also have only a single entry... no mention of the Overlord as it's own separate profile exists where we would expect it to exist


Pay for just the Barge - that is the name of the Model you purchased, and the 'Commanded by an Overlord' is just flavour-text.
