broodlord question

[thekrakenhivemind]

Does the broody count as a named character?  I.E. can you run 2 of them in a single detachment?

[angelwing]

no, he's generic. Run as many as you want.

[mattblowers]

Rule of 3. You can only run 3 of the same unit outside of troops.

[killercroc]

You can field as many as you want, as long as that number is 3.

If you need more than three, you'll need to sub in GSC Patriarch(s)

[thekrakenhivemind]

awesome thanks!

[thekrakenhivemind]

So can you also run 3 swarmlords?

[xtztxtxz]

No, the Swarmlord's datasheet says "Only one of this model may be included in your army."

[mattblowers]

Rule of 3 does not include named characters. For us that is Old One Eye, Swarmlord, Deathleaper, and The Red Terror.

For GSC, you can only take 1 character of each type per detachment. That's a unique distinction to just us. Because: reasons.

I should also point out rule of 3 isn't a set thing it's a short hand. It's a rule of 2/3/4. 1000 points or less it's 2, 1001-2000 is 3 and 2000+ is 4

Opps did not know that. Have always gone by rule of 3.

I have never played a game under 1000 points, so I never abused the rule, but thanks for that, I did not know it either.
