Chaos Lord's command ability?

COMMAND ABILITY

Unending Legion: When a Chaos Lord

marches to war, an ever-increasing number

of followers marches in his wake, ready to

throw themselves at any who oppose him.

When a Chaos Lord uses this ability, roll

a dice. If the result is 4 or more, set up a

new Slaves to Darkness unit so that all

its models are within 5" of one edge of the

battlefield. This unit is added to your army

as reinforcements.

Normally they specify a starting models, or a more specific unit restrictions. What do I get when I use this ability?

What I've seen so far is there are no unit size restrictions. Seraphon infantry blocks get bonuses at certain sizes too

Maybe you are misreading the quoted section. Looks like I a get a free unit when I use the command ability. Most free units say what you get, this one seems open ended....

There are a few of those abilities available to Stormcast through Battalion formations and the Time of War rules.Even though it isint specified we have been playing it as a minimum size unit.This way the game stays somewhat under control and avoids the bringing in of 50 model units every turn.

 

I have also noted that many of these reinforcement type abilities don't specify the "9" from an enemy unit) so we are assuming that you can set up as close as 3" to an enemy unit.

Thanks.

 

Right. What does the warscrolls for the unit say? It does seem rather open...if you can pick their weapons and size then your just restricted by your own model count I guess. At a minimum all my summoning units have minimum unit sizes but that's it, letting me pick the weapons

 

The quote posted is all the warscroll for the unit says....yeah not much info.

Oh really? At least the Seraphon summoning says within x' of caster and within x' of enemies. They also specify unit sizes when summoned

This isn't summoning, it's a command ability which "calls in reinforcements...."

This guy:

 

COMMAND ABILITY
Unending Legion: When a Chaos Lord
marches to war, an ever-increasing number
of followers marches in his wake, ready to
throw themselves at any who oppose him.

new Slaves to Darkness unit so that all
its models are within 5" of one edge of the
battlefield. This unit is added to your army
as reinforcements.

Slaves to Darkness is a keyword common to Warriors of Chaos. It's on infantry, monsters, heroes and even some wizards.

 

The beastmen have that Great Bray Shaman with the following spell:

 

SAVAGE DOMINION
The shaman sends his mind winging into
the wilds and possesses the largest
creature he can find and bend to his will.
Savage Dominion has a casting value of 9.
If successfully cast, you can summon one
Monster and add it to your army. Set up
the summoned model within 6" of the
edge of the battlefield and more than 9"
from any enemy models. This counts as its
move for the upcoming movement phase.

Monster keyword is the only summoned unit requirement. Yeah, pretty vague.
