Banner of Nagarythe

Post by Narius phinshredder »

Forgive me if this is (Most probably) an old question but in the DE codex the Banner of Nagarythe is listed at 150 points. What or who can use it as the black guard only have 75pts and nothing else comes close!

Ok I'm an idiot, I take it this is meant exclusively for the Battle standard bearer! As is the Hydra banner!

You can have a single Noble upgraded to a Battle Standard Bearer per army - this guy can have either 50 pts of Magic Items OR unlimited points for a single Magic Banner.

You take it with him and at deployment you make him join a unit - he is bound to that unit for the whole game as he cannot join any other unit afterwards (he is unbreakable, cannot join non-unbreakable units).

It's gonna be back in the new book, maybe better worded.. and 125 pts instead of 150... heh

So at 150 or even 125 points it can't be bought like a normal magic standard, it's really only a choice for a BSB?

Currently the highest costing banner the black gaurd can cary is the Dread banner (which just happens to be the same price as their point allocation for banners.) For anything higher (hydra banner , malakith's personal standard) you have to use a BSB.

Thanks for clarifying that!
