Plague Caster on Palanquin

[radionausea]

Hi, we were discussing upgrades on our groups Facebook page and I feel that Malignant Plaguecasters should be able to take a palanquin. No objections, but need to ensure it's coated appropriately.

 

The lord on palanquin is a 38.2% increase from base cost

Sorcerer on a palanquin is 41.9% increase from base cost.

 

Do you feel that 40% increase in cost is fair? This would make a plaguecaster on a palanquin 154 points.

Gains a point of toughness, a wound and the nurgling attacks

 

This would be for friendly games!

If it's a custom rule you should discuss it with your group and not with us to be honest. I for one think it sounds fair but my opinion has little to no weight in your group.

Plague Caster is not a lord it's just a DG sorcerer that rolls on Nurgle discipline instead of the Chaos one. Just use the points cost of the Sorcerer option don't go by %.

I know it's not a lord. Its not just a sorcerer that rolls on contagion either though.

They get disgustingly resilient and pestilential fallout (doing an extra mortal wound on a 7, the average for 2 dice, is nothing to sneeze at).

 

 

If you compare all the characters with jump packs, for example, they all have roughly the same % increase in points from characters without jump packs.

That's why I wanted to go with % rather than just flat points.
