  1. -Either Plagueswords should just have Poisoned Attacks or the Great Unclean One gets to wield a Plaguesword by default that can be replaced by other things. It doesn't make sense for Plaguebearers to have better equipment than Great Unclean Ones.
    -The fact that the Shining Aegis of Shalaxi Helbane is a buckler means that it's ward save, combined with the natural daemon ward save and the save of being a buckler goes to 2+. I think it would be a bit better for it to be a shield instead since it's Parry essentially does nothing (unless you plan on making the increase in Ward Save from parrying able to ignore the 4+ limit). Likewise, it would be more wise for a Keeper of Secrets to wield a shield rather than a buckler as the shield already takes melee ward saves to 4+, the maximum.
    -The 4+ Ward Save of Belakor is redundant, the rule + daemonic means that his Ward Save far surpasses the 4+ limit. A minor thing but maybe make it 6+.

    1. -A Burning Chariot ridden by an Exalted Flamer or Herald costs 70 points instead of 140.

    2. - Will make them regular poison attacks.
      - This is intentional, it's too small to be a shield.
      - Will fix.
      - This is intentional, the 140 pts burning chariot includes an exalted flamer already.

  2. Hi, the Profile of Contorted Epitome in the Armylist (p.216) does not match with the Entry in the Description (p.181). What is the correct Troop Type? Shrine or Chariot?
