Druchii Anointed

The Druchii Anointed (by far the greastest character ever), in the Cult of Slaanesh PDF army list, it says that because the Anointed is not Daemonic, it can only join Dark Elf units - I don't understand. Can it join units like Chaos Knights and Chaos Warriors because they are not Daemonic?

Yes, I did see that. But Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights are not daemons, so why does it say "He does not count as Daemonic, and so can only join Dark Elf units." Why would he be unable to join Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights if they aren't daemonic?

Since they aren't dark Elves!

Does it really matter? (:
Cult of Slaanesh is gone for good (yay) with the release of 7th edition book.

For friendly games, yes it does matter

Pretty black and white actually. Can only join Dark Elf units. Therefore cannot join Daemons and Chaos units... as they are not Dark Elves.

I was going to update it for 7th Edition for personal use. I was just wondering why it would say he couldn't join Chaos units, I'm not just going to put that he can join Chaos units if there's this rule in the old edition just because I want to - I just don't think it's justified. Basically, what I'm asking is, is the rule a mistake? Because it doesn't make sense to me.

If there would be a mistake, it would be in the reasoning. The rule 'may only join Dark Elf units' is crystal clear.

Friendly games or not, the CoS will be illegal with the release of 7th edition because of balance sake.

I mean come on... an army with core shades with GW? No way.

Annointed is still essentially a dark elf. He cant join chaos units, end of story, makes perfect sense.

The reason I say the rule is questionable is because, though Druchii Anointed is a Dark Elf, I don't see what stops him from joining a Chaos unit. The Chaos Cults aren't restricted to men, it could be perfectly believable that there would be some Elves among Chaos Warriors and Knights. Even if there weren't any, what stops another warrior of Chaos teaming up with other warriors of Chaos? There is no barrier stopping them, like they hate each other or something. They are both Chaos cultists, and are just as worthless as each other in the eyes of the Chaos Gods.

Sorry but I stopped reading here... rules aren't questionable when it's written: "Can only join a Dark Elf unit".

If I read a rule that says: "Can only take a hand weapon." I don't ask myself, why can't he take a lance, no, the rule says it clearly that he only can have a hand weapon and it's the same thing with the Druchii Annointed.

I said in a friendly game not an exploiting cheese fest, l max. 2 units of shades for instance, like in a regular 7th DE army
(btw DRs are special and harpies aren't available, so that kind of balances things n'est pas....)

Dark elf...Joining stinky, smelly, crude humans (however enligghtened) is nothing a proper, civolized, proud darkelf with a delacite ego would do (and why they don't alow muraders in their units.)

The reason is base size. The anointed is on a small elf base, chaos warriors are on the slightly larger bases.

Rules are clear and no matter how many times you write that you want him in a chaos unit wont change that.

Dark elf units only. Period. End of discussion.
