Yes Celestine or Greyfax could be taken in place of Cawl but I was planning on running Skitarri to offset Cawl (no Grav Servitors or Kastellan Robots.) Totally understandable. Sent from my SM-G903W using proboards

Any issue with poaching a "named" character's rules in a counts as sense? Word Bearers don't have anyone they can use, so I was thinking on running my Dark Apostle as Cassius from the Ultramarines in a Space Marine CAD to be able to play them. so literally playing ultramarines and calling them word bearers? lol... that's fine if you want to be a smurf but not want to call yourself a smurf... inside your heart though, you'll know...

Would cawl be too mean for this style tourney? Only way I can run 1250 Skitaarri as they have no HQ you can make your list however you'd like... however this is a FUN tourney... so if you make an optimized, mean list... well sure you can win best general in a tournament with no prize for best general... you'd get... I don't know... a slow clap as a prize? lol generally if you look at your list and go "how would a normal list at 1250 have a chance at this" it's too rough.

Yea I donèt intend to run an overly mean list. Its just that Cawl himself is super durable. I will definitely be adjusting my Skitarri to offset

Throw in like 5 Iron striders cause they are amazingly fun and if they hit something they will melt it but they are 2 hp AV 11 so same as killa kanz.

Cawl really needs to be in an allied detachment or in the armies of the imperium to be at full power. you want a bunch of ad mec units to make his cantiales or what ever they are called to get high up, and then some good vehicles that he can buff, like guard or space marine ones, and maybe a knight.
He should be ok, its a fun tournament and you can make a fun list with him im sure.

So looked at my shenanigan Crimson Slaughter, it wont be able to crusade with it. there are no named characters in the Chaos book that are NOT VOTLW...so that's a no go. I'll have to see what else I can run OR switch back to Orks. I fear the Tau will be shelved for the next little bit.

For named character, think of it in terms of someone who a book could be written about... someone who's name is legend... you are forging a heroic tale to inspire the masses... the troopers who follow your commander are becoming part of that legend.
EDIT: Celestine doesn't get two extra models to automatically tank her wounds for her in the final fight, which she raises back each turn in the off chance a wound gets through... Nice try though.
