Tomb Herald Q

[Edg3ofR3ason]

Like DD I've been reading the new TK book and I wanted to get some feedback on this statement:
"If you have any Tomb Kings or Tomb Princes in your army, you must nominate one of them for the Tomb Herald to protect at the start of the game. The same character may not be nominated by several Tomb Heralds......"
Now to make things just a little bit more 'fun' it appears that the Tomb Herald is the mandatory BSB should you wish to take one.
So my question is, does this statement ,which is the SWORN BODYGUARD special rule for the Tomb Herald, mean that if you take a Tomb King or Prince you must also take a Herald or is it only if you take a Herald that you must nominate them as a protector.
Regardless, if you take a BSB Herald, and have a King or Prince, and they are in the same unit then your BSB will be sucking up a wound on a 2+ per round, unless the King or Prince is in a challenge. Interesting. Might limit the use of a BSB or you could end up spending another 60+ pts. for the basic bodyguard herald to keep your BSB alive longer.

Thoughts?

From what I understand and seen in couple list. If you choose one herald and its your BSB and hes in same unit as your tomb king or prince yes he will bodyguard but you dont have to choose one herald at all if you want and have a Tomb king or prince. Like me in my list I dont have one. If you decide to field one and you dont put it in same unit as a tomb king or prince your good...
