bolt of change and scribes has bolt of tzeentch.

the pink horrors have arcane might and one has treason of tzeentch. the tzaangors have the icons rolling 18 dice for possible mortal wounds on a 4+. the cockatrice has a possible 4d6 of mortal wounds.

keep everyone in a tight formation so they can keep close to the tzaangors and there totems.

Maybe I am wrong as I am new to AoS2. Wouldn't the cockatrice additions make this list not of Tzeentch allegiance? It would suck if you lost your destiny dice.

No. As with the previous edition you can take allies. Monsters of Chaos (i.e., the Cockatrice) can be taken as allies in a Disciples of Tzeentch list. However his list is illegal since only one out of every four units can be an allied unit, meaning that he would need sixteen units in his army in order to take four cockatrices.

Where can I find that rule? In the Battletome it says all starting units have Tzeentch then you are of Tzeentch allegiance and get the said benefits. Since the cockatrice can't do that (as far as I know) you wouldn't be Tzeentch allegiance right? Again, I am new and the rules are scattered all over so I am trying to figure it out.

Allies rues have always been in the Matched play section of the General's Handbook.

I see where it says how to take them but not where it says that they ignore the requirement to be tzeentch to get the tzeentch allegiance abilities. Where is that?

My bad, they moved that to the Core Rulebook (Allies, page 242):

Allied units are treated as part of your army, except that they are not included when working out your army’s allegiance, and can therefore be part of a different Grand Alliance or faction. In addition, an allied model cannot be the army’s general, and cannot use or benefit from your army’s allegiance abilities.

Note that if you have the previous edition of the General's Handbook, it says essentially the same thing (Allies, page 76):

Allied units can have a different allegiance to the rest of the army.

Man, that was hidden lol

The list looks a bit gimmicky to me. Potentially hands out a lots of mortal wounds but you'll struggle to complete mission objectives if you keep everything bunched up.

Also worth thinking about how you can get some longer range damage in there as almost all of your damage is 18" range in the Hero phase (so before you get to move), so you're unlikely to do much turn one and it'd be easy to set up chargers 18.1" away from your army to charge in the next turn relatively unscathed.

When I read this all I'm thinking is "Where's the Skyfires?".
I read up on Cockatrice rules, and its a mortal wound unit. Why though? You have Skyfires, broseph. Skyfires. Go with the Skyfires. If you can Skyfire you should Skyfire.
Not only are they ridiculously imbalanced but they are also BEAUTIFUL models.

"Guided by the Future: In the combat phase, you
can re-roll all failed hit and wound rolls for a unit
of Tzaangor Skyfires if no enemy units within 3" of
them have attacked yet in that phase."

"Judgement from Afar: To be struck by an Arrow
of Fate is to be judged by destiny itself. Those found
wanting are all but doomed. If the hit roll for a
Greatbow’s Arrow of Fate is a 6 or more, the attack
sequence ends and the target immediately suffers
D3 mortal wounds."

"Preternatural Enhancement: If this unit is within
9" of a friendly Tzaangor Shaman at the start of the
shooting phase, add 1 to any hit rolls made for their
Greatbow’s Arrow of Fate attacks"

I have attached links to warscroll and a picture just to clarify my points beyond doubt.

"Skyshoal Coven
A unit of Tzaangor Enlightened that have to take Discs of Tzeentch and two units of Tzaangor Skyfires get to move 9" in every friendly Hero Phase and have a tiny chance of inflicting Mortal Wounds on stuff they flew over, just like Screamers. This is a bit unnecessary, as these models are all excessively fast already and, more importantly, the Skyfires will never want to be in a situation where they want to do this fly-by attack.

Alternate Opinion: This is absolutely amazing for skyfires. If your enemy gets close, you just zoom away with your hero phase move, keep going in your movement phase, and keep your target at just inside max range. Never will an enemy get close enough to charge.

Another Alternate opinion this is amazing for all models because you can get easy turn 1 alpha strike charges"
