Characters only take up Lord and Hero slots, unless it says somewhere that they 'also use up an additional *whatever* slot'. That whatever could be another hero slot (which is usually the case when you upgrade the character to ride a monstrous mount), or it could be a special or rare slot (like the Shaggoth champion).LionElJonson said:If so, do the mortal heros count only as heros or as elite (you mean 'rare') as well?
As Teron said, correct. Just remember that the general of your army will always be the character with the highest leadership. But if you have two or more characters, all with the highest leadership, you can choose who will be general (but you probably already knew that!). So if you wanted an army to contain a Shaggoth Champion (a beasts general), but you wanted it to be a mortal army, you'd have to take a Lord of Chaos as well (meaning you'd need to play at least a 3000pt game).LionElJonson said:3. Do I get this right? If taking a Shaggoth-Champion, he always is my general, when not taking mortals Heros due to the highest Ld? Therefore Gorherds may not ambush?
