So ahriman and the big blocks of tzaangors I put in deepstrike and then they popped out and had 8in charges to make all the characters performed well they all had a purpose and they allowed me to cast all my powers they had the changling took control of my opponents librarian who happened to have a combi plasma and I killed him by getting a 2 on his hit roll which became a 1 xD so that was defo fun the enlightened with and without spears all performed great

so I played against my friends slannesh mic list so daemons and chaos marines we deployed Dawn of war I made a nest egg with all my enlightened and magnus survived all game the minus one to hit spell is good and if needed you can give him +1 invulnerable and the new spell temporal manipulation let him heal d3 wounds a turn plus changling giving 6+ "feel no pain was nice

I think 23 is too many. 18-20. is probably ideal. It's still enough bodies to cause damage and resist some fire, but not too much sitting back being wasted.

What would you spend the extra 50 or so points on??

How did you deepstrike 2 blocks of tzaangors and ahriman Webway infiltration only allows 2 infantry squads to deepstrike at most. I might have missed another source.

Edit: also, how did the enlightened do? They seem solid but a little fragile, especially concerned about the spear ones.

The webway stratgem is not in a game turn so unless it been faq you can do. Multiple. Of it etc

The enlightened did really well

It says in the strategem that you can only use it once per battle, so you could have only deep striked two units. You should apologize to your opponent

Ah fairs it was only ahriman who went in as extra and I don't own the codex we were testing th list etc :3 so didn't see the bit about once per battle etc we are really good friends etc so it all good friends

Hah it's okay, everyone makes mistakes. My friends and I have done stuff like that plenty of times. But now you know for next time

Defo other then tht the list was very efficient in most phases bar shooting but I made the list so I can generate as many buffs as possible etc and it generally gets in combat and kills most things :3 the enlightened perform really well against everything sue to the fact they hit on 2 + reroll on with magnus and shaman near by and then due to shaman auto wounding on a 5&6 etc

That's good to know. I am definitely going to run a nice unit of Enlightened with Shaman and Prescience for auto wounds on a 4+ to hit. It will go very nicely with my 2x Decimators with Soulburners with an Exalted Sorcerer babysitting them. Fun

Anyway, glad your list worked out! Keep experimenting and fine tuning it and you'll have a very strong force to be reckoned with. Or not. Because you know, Tzeentch is fickle

Well I am trying my best not to add rubrics, and stuff just love a beast men army xD plus once they get in combat as you said with buffs they shred loads of stuff, :3
