So I've been tinkering some with a WoC-list and I have run into a bit of trouble. I'm wondering if the 25 pts cost for a Chaos Familiar (for instance) is considered 25 pts mutations or 25 pts mutations AND 25 pts Arcane Item. I don't mean "do they add up to 50?" but if said mutation reserves 25 pts in both catagory?

Example: Sorcerer
MoT
lv2
Chaos Familiar
Talisman of Protection
Chalice of Chaos
Enchanted Shield

The way I see it he carries one talisman, one armour, one enchanted item and one arcane item. Though only 30 pts items and 25 pts mutations.

Could someone confirm if this would work.

/Anderzzon

spell familiar comes out of the mutations points (50pts from lord level and 25 for a hero level) he would still have his normal magic items allowance (100pts or 50pts) but you can only have one of each item (IE> only one arcane item, one magic weapon, armor, etc.)

So you cannot take the spell familiar and a dispel scroll on your lvl2 Nurgle sorceror for example
but you can take the spell familiar, and the sword of might, endchanted shield and potion of strength

As I suspected. Though the Army Book could be a bit more clear on this... -.-

Thanks!

Also seems a shame that it is arcane, as the skull / familiar combo would be great. Or maybe it is a shame the skull is arcane, as familiar + channeling staff would be OP.

Rolling 6 dice to channel on 5's and 6's would be kind of broken. IMO good they did that.

Probably right, but a man can dream...
