I would think that Mortarion and Magnus would be pretty different. However detachments follow the rule of one as well... so you couldn't bring more than one superheavy auxiliary detachment for example.... but a superheavy detachment is fine if you want to bring three (different) superheavies. I'd think mangus and morty are more silimar than different in terms of highlander. There is more varation between loadouts of bane blades then for 2 flying, deamon, primarch that are psykers/combat monsters. Id put them in the same catagory as assassin. If you only get 1 assassin cause they are similar than you only get 1 primach. Thats my 2 cents.

I'd like a response to this as I am considering picking up a Magnus for this tournament if both are allowed.

It just seems weird that in a tournament where "there can only be ONE!!" you'd get TWO primarchs in an army. Tho maybe thats more spirit and less letter of the law.

LOW = 0-1

Though to be fair, generally one doesn't bring more then one Lord of War unless you're running a 2500 or higher point game anyway.
Having 1/2 to 2/3rds of your points tied up in a couple of models? Pretty risky depending on the missions and the list you're fighting.

For me it's a combination of making listbuilding much easier and I enjoy the idea of the two brothers competing against one another

So just for a quick clarification is typhus a chaos lord or a lord of contagion. He shares a good number of the rules for lords of contagion and very few with a chaos lord but wanted to double check given it's one of the examples.

Typhus seems to be a nurgle chaos lord and a lord of contagion ALSO seems to be a nurgle chaos lord equivalent
feel free to make a case for some other interpretation if you feel this is off base

The chaos lord has a different aura, a completely different statline, and does not have the option to take any of the same gear as a loc. The lord of contagion is as much a lord as a chaplain is a captain in space marine terms. Unless all non psyker hq models are considered the same for highlander. Typhus shares fear, stats and an aura with the loc and has more differences with a lord than the loc does. So are we considering deathguard models to be matched up with csm counterparts? The malignant plaguecaster is a very different model from the chaos sorcerer but they are both psyker hq choices so would they be considered the same? They have more in common than a lord of contagion and a lord it to be fair the lord of contagion hasless in common with a lord as a plague marine does a chaos space marine.

On another note are the fallen (cypher and company) considered there own faction for highlander? They have one hq and one elite.
