For me it totally depends on if the missions are going to be based on your character killing things. If not and my character is Ursala creed but I bring a rogal Dorn tank vs someone with Ghaz that’s totally fair unless of course the mission is slay the enemy warlord with your own in years past, there were fun secondaries that relies on your warlord doing nifty things. Not sure about this year. |

Not sure about this year. I will try to make it fun  Plus the last battle of the day is boss fight as per tradition... two warlords enter.... one leaves.... |

So, uh, quick question... If I was to play AdMech and their *only* named character is Cawl, then Cawl would have to be in that army list?

yep... MUST have a special character as your warlord, but as Kevin said, agents of the imperium work just fine for that if you don't like Cawl

Or if you don't have a cawl, if you got the bigger base you could do a tech priest and his buddies as a good stand in. I know cawl is on that weird oval size one. |

Not aiming to complain, buttttt... Cawl is... not good and I don't have a proxy for him. An inquisitor would be out of theme. Thanks to everyone for the clarification and advice. Maybe another year for me.

At least your only named special character is actually in your faction, not the imperium for some reason. Cries in Harlequins.....
But yeah that's unfortunate.

This is a narrative tournament.
It's literally about taking a warlord that might not be the "best" choice... it's thematic

My wife rolls her eyes when I talk about what's thematic for my army (or hers... haha, oops). Sometimes the thematic choices are limited and don't fit very well. Sometimes the choices also cost $60 and are only good for display pieces outside of narrative events. I'd love to bring a Sisters army of Morvenn Vahl and a full complement of Nundams. Run them as Argent Shroud - Vahl's original order. Most of those choices aren't optimal. I just don't have the time or models this year to run that army. Basically, I'll be back another time when I have an army that works for this tournament. |

Even have a spare codex. *if you want to try necrons just put a list together and i should be able to help you out. (No Void Dragon) |

I'm torn between a couple of Characters at the moment - just wanted to get peoples' thoughts here. Is it poor form to bring a Greater Daemon (say, Rotigus)? It's essentially an auto-win in the boss fight, which is a concern if it's worth too many victory points...
