Hi all.
So Im brainstorming with the Cities of Sigmar and am wondering if it is possible to get the Hydra, Corsairs or Chariots as Battle Line somehow.

Im also wondering if the start collecting box comes with the option to make both the scourgerunner/cold one chariot and the Kharibys / Hydra kit.

Lastly Im wondering if Corsair with Hand Crossbows are any good or if its dual weapon thats the way to go.

You are not familiar with pages 127/128 of your CoS book, are you?
Reading those two pages + the Keywords on the bottom of each unit will answer these types of questions.

Yes, it's the same kit. You just use different pieces off the sprues.
All of the multi-kits are like this. GW just lists them under each name on the site so you can search by the various names.

Thanks. However I dont own the CoS book yet. I ask because I will get the book together with a Start Collecting Box or buy it seperate. I do need to understand some rules first so I know in what direction my army will form because I just have so many ideas I have been brewing during the last few years and now suddenly with the CoS book, I am able to to do all at once, mix and convert.

Edit: Well it was surprisengly easy finding the book online by typing .pdf. I got some reading to do

Or you could have literally just tried using the Army Builder that GW has on the Community page...

Anvilgard(City set in Aqshy, meaning you have to be from Aqshy for it so no Ghyran or Shyish relics) gets Battleline Kharibdyss and Hydras.
Having a Scourge Privateer General gets you Battleline Corsairs and Scourgerunner Chariots.
Remember that Hydras are Order Serpentis units, not Scourge Privateer units.

Whenever you have a question of "Does this Start Collecting set include the parts for X/Y/Z?", it's easiest to look at the sprue breakdowns. They will not split the items out unless it's a sprue that they feasibly could leave out...and then the sprue breakdowns for the SC will showcase that.
