Wow, learned something new today. I just looked it up and quite literally any character can be the warlord and if you somehow have no characters any mook can be your warlord. Mind = Blown *pchewwwwwww* Yes but in a tau cad you will need to bring one character as all HQ choices are characters so long strike can't be as he isn't a character and you have another in the army. Sent from my SM-G903W using proboards Ahhh, there's the kicker... no way he can be the warlord. there goes that idea. Maybe Aun'Shi will get his time in the sun. He'll get mega smushed in the warlord-off though lol.

Ya was going to use longstrike last year but alas.
Also thought about darkstrider this year but Dante won out.

Less than a month from the Annual, over 2 months to go until the Crusade, and this must already be tedious for Shannon. So for the benefit of his sanity (and mine), consider the following process: Step 1 - read Shannon's initial instructions. They are quite lucid and easy to follow. Exceptions are included. Step 2 - Ask yourself "Does this character have an actual name?" If it's a title (eg. "the Solitaire") the answer is "no". Step 3 - Check to see if eligible to be a warlord. If not, the answer is again "no". Step 4 - Ask yourself "Am I rationalizing my choice to justify using an overwhelming piece?" If your efforts to ask / explain include any variations of "but, but, but..." you are rationalizing and should seriously reconsider your choice as it is most likely not in keeping with the narrative theme of this tournament. Step 5 - (* only to be used in the event you have honestly completed the first 4 steps and still have doubts. Shout outs to friends are valid. Think of this as the "break glass in event of fire" step.) Ask Shannon for a ruling and comply with it without offering further rationalizations.

And in re-reading this I realize that there are cool options for armies that have neither named characters nor overpowering pieces. Realistically, not all options will be available in all tournaments. If your cool option or army isn't eligible that is unfortunate. Be mature and patient while waiting for the tournament that does allow it. In the interim, adapt and create a list that IS appropriate for THIS tournament. Now get on with building a list that works for this Crusade!

I think I might have to break out the tyranids again for this tourney! Last time I used deathleaper (just love that model) for my warlord and naturally he got pasted easily in the boss fight. If I go this time it will have to be the Swarmlord or maybe even Old One Eye (never used it before).

Even though he's part of the Stormclaw supp, can I use Grukk Face-Rippa for the warlord in an Orks army despite he's not in the codex? Our options are not really extensive.
If not, I'll just roll with Zaggstrukk

with a name like Grukk Face Rippa I'd be scared not to let him show up!
