BTB - Two Questions

Hi,

I a couple of questions about BTB.

Ghartok's Skull - Can this be worn by spellcasters? Chaos Dragon Armour specifically states that it can be worn by spellcasters but Ghartok's Skull does not specify. I think that it is fine but it was raised as a question by my group because Ghartok's Skull counts as a helmet and helmets cannot be worn by spellcasters.

Touch of Onogal - Does the plague bearer last beyond the battle? I assume not.

Thanks!

Ghartok's Skull can be used by spellcasters. This has to be because the artefacts are meant to be used by the Chaos warband's leader so in case of a Tchar Chieftain or a Possessed's Magister it would be really bad if he couldn't wear the helmet. I have added the clause ("does not hinder spellcasters") to the rules and errata list (not uploaded to the website though).

The Plague Bearer disappears at the end of the game. This will also be updated accordingly to make it clear, once I have the time.

Thanks

If you don't mind, I have another question about the chaos artifacts: is the -4 leadership penalty cumulative if a model has more than one chaos artifact equipped? My warband only has Ghartok's skull right now, but if they are lucky/unlucky enough to pick up another chaos artifact (my warband's objective is Celestial Protectorate)I would need to decide whom should hold it. Thanks.

No, the effect is not cumulative (so you are best off giving them all to the same model).

Good deal. Thanks for the answer.
