In order to make it more viable, I suggest that the the Mark of Tzeentch affect Non-Characters differently.

Any non-character with the Mark of Tzeentch generates 1 power dice OR dispel dice, chosen before the game. Note that if the unit is fleeing, dead, or no longer on the table, this extra dice is not generated.

If this is too cheesy, I have another easy solution.

Non-characters with the Mark of Tzeentch have Magic Resistance 1.

Your MoT for non characters sounds pretty nice. It's not (to me) too cheesy at all, it fits in with the background and would make for a fun army to play. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1026753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1026753.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1026831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1026831.page GMT MoT useless for warriors as is, I am new to the game so correct me if I am wrong, but how is a 4+ ward save bad in the shooting phase for Warriors?(MoT grants a 6+ ward save, or increase the current ward save by1+, give the squad the Blasted Standard for a 5+ ward save, and bam, in the shooting phase you have a 4+ Ward save). but your idea for noncharacter units seems plausable enough for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1027134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1027134.page GMT De.

Good chance of having some 4+ armor, 3+ WS, stubbon crazies that eat though stuff.

I like to mark up one block with MoT then give them banner of rage and a hero with BSB w/ Blasted banner. Leads to an almost unkillable frenzied block of pain.

Also remember MoT is cheaper then MoK and MoN, though both of those provide arguably 2 useful effects regardless of what a unit is, while MoT's 2nd effect is only useful to sorcs.

So for me it is sorta a toss up, MoT can be useful now, but it would be cool not to see it go to half waste on non sorcs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1163098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1163098.page GMT MoT means you currently need to do 20% more damage to the unit. Five models with the Mark of Tzeentch are as difficult to kill as six models without it.

I like it, but usually think that the psychology benefit from the MoS is more useful as far as cheap marks go.

Compared with the Mark of Nurgle, the MoN does a lot more against shooting that uses ballistic skill, but will do nothing against a cannon or magic missiles. The benefit against BS shooting is much greater though. The benefit in CC comes into play against certain weapon skills mostly (does nothing to WS4 for WS5 warriors, for example) while the MoT is always in play.

Basically, MoN is bigger benefit vs. specific things, MoT is smaller benefit vs. almost everything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1193982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1193982.page GMT
All fair points. However, I kinda wish that if it was going to give a ward, maybe make it a 5+ or something.

Of course, this would up the cost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1195943.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/259899/1195943.page GMT
