The Legions of Algeroth:
Centurion Preceptor
Individual trooper, limit one per necrorganic squad, necrobiotic
(p. 452)
But Algeroth has no necrorganic squads!!
So?
-
bump..
-
I would rephrase it to necrobiotic, or delete entirely
-
You would be wrong. The Neronian Legionnaires are suppose to be Necrorganic, that is why they have Necrorganic Resistance.
-
Why?
I didnt find any FAQ to it, or any reason why necrobiotic model can't have necrorganic resistance.
Making neronians necrogranic would be a big change I think.
-
In fact, PFC Joe said in the past (referring to blight commandos and Cairath, that are necrobiotic and have necrorganic resistance):
They have both the Necrobiotic and Necro-Organic SA and description. They are not mindless zombies but do possess the squishier of their abilities.

I still believe that they were suppose to be necrorganic.
-
I seriously doubt it. Because Golem of Darkness is not a Zombie master.
-
Hello.
Golem of Darkness is supposed to be a support unit, not a control unit. Curatators have zombie master which is why it is a good idea to bring em along.

Still no solution to this problem?
Could a Centurion be played in an only-Algeroth Army? Are Neronian Legionnaires actually necrorganic?
-
The last time this question was asked, when the creators of UWZ were "really" active on this forum, we learned that "there will be Algeroth necroorganic units in future expansions". So... you have few options:
1) forget about them
2) make some home-rules that allow you to field them
3) create a necroorganic Algeroth unit - there are some nice ideas in the RPG book for Algeroth
4) wait for the expansions ;)
-
I think a better question is "why are you taking a centurion?". IIRC centurions really aren't that great to begin with, unless you are just getting him to have your three officers for a force commander.

In which case you need to ask the same question again - he is "individual trooper" and has no Commander SA - so he's not an officer.

;D, but I think that
5) wait for a coherent Faq until expansions come
is still a better option!
However, in some past Italian tournaments some players fielded a Centurion in an Algeroth army, and we had not clear how to deal with it.
Centurions are not great warriors, but for 27 points they give you an additional Unit to deploy. This is strategically useful.
-
The answer is use house rules allowing him to be used or take a squad of undead legionairres to use him.

Not true. Neronians are necrobiotic. They have no leader model, and are, therefore, a Leaderless Squad.

So?
I believe that they are included in the Algeroth list to provide for a Zombie Master in the event of the following:
In the event enemy model(s) are turned into necrorganics (Ragathol's Blade of Lost Souls), they'll need to be led. The Preceptor can perform this duty.
The army list contains necrorganics from the Hordes.
Further, it is my belief that the llimitation of "1 per necrorganic squad" is where the error exists, not that there are no Algeroth necrorganics. Simply change it to read "1 squad" and all should be good. In this way, they may be purchased in anticipation of having zombies to command, or may command necrorganics that are purchased from the Horde list.
By no means is my solution official. While I am on the FAQ Team, I am speaking for myself, on this one.
-
Dave I know that old 2007 statement is incorrect, but if you change the model there then you have to change it on page 444 where the model works fine as is. The Horde has necroorgantic squad.
-
Simply re-name it to an Algeroth Centurion Preceptor. Then the limitation could be re-worded. ;D
