    I'm curious how a Kroak n Death Slann would go with all those juicy casting and more power dice generating.
    (I'm thinking of a dual slann TG horde maybe)

    However, the Slann cannot join Kroak's TG because he is not unbreakable like them...

    And characters cannot join the unit.
    BUT... can Kroak join the slann's TG so they can be in the same unit??? Or would he kick the slann out? Can I place them in the same unit during deployment?

    I think I actually found a loop hole in the rules:

    BRB: "Characters that are not themselves Unbreakable are not permitted to join units that are"
    Army Book: "If Loard Kroak joins a unit of Temple Guard, all models in the combined unit gain the Unbreakable special rule"

    I think I might have answered my question
    Does anyone else agree?

    Pretty sure the TG rules only allow one slann to join them at a time.

    1 wound to a slann w/ 5 wounds or a Kroak w/ 6?.

    I think i'll be okay, infact it lessens the amoun of TG dying by 2 if the Mages are side by side.

    no?

    The 2nd Slann would have to be deployed with the unit. Otherwise he couldn't join unless Lord Kroak were to leave or die. Same with Saurus characters.

    If it were possible I'd have kroak deploy behind the slann TG and join in the 1st turn

    I'd plan on using Kroak's spell a lot of times, then try to get even more power dice with the Death Slann (he's still emotionally damaged since Kroak's death, that adds to the story why he's using Lore of Death)

    A miscast would be a killer, and they would be quite likely to turn up at some point. I won't have enough points for Soul of Stone or Healing
    That is genius, I never thought of that, I was going to place the two as far apart from each other, but that would sacrifice more TG.
    So I'll have them side by side, if it's allowed, I can place them to one side of the unit so of the template/No models is minimised :D

    T T T T T K K S S T Would he be too open for attack is he's on the very very edge?
    T T T T T K K S S T
    T T T T T T T T T T
    T T T T T T T T T T hmm, maybe forget the last rank of TG?

    - I really want to see how this pans out, we shall see...

    They only need to be in the second rank ;)

    And as the Miscasts genrally only deal 1 wound, both should be fine with 5-6 wounds. It's more about whether they both miscast which could seriously hurt some of the tg - and if they end up dealing too many wounds to eachother, you can always move them around :)
