Tzeentch and endless buffing mages
Hi guys. First let me state that I absolutely love the ranged attacks of Blue & Pink Horrors and the Chosen especially with Blood Lust / Strength of Giants or a Blood Surge Bless for the Chosen. Visually this is fantastic.

That said, I kind of want to complain about the Sorcerers a bit:

At 440 gold you really NEED to justify to bring them to battles or even produce them. While they have a huge spectrum of magic they will be max level 2 in any of them before buffs, which means for Evocations other factions might bring nearly 2 mages for 1 that Tzeentch will field (gold wise).

But the main problem is ENDLESS buffing. Whit enough research the will be able to buff easily a dozen selfbuffs and without Lucid’s will end up spending the entirety of long battles with it. You want to really keep them alive but spending 4 turns of scripted buffing and then continuing to do so off script makes it kind of pointless to even bring them.

Have you ever thought about giving them a national COMBO-Buffs? The old "Magic Enhanced" did a few of these where you basically throw up 3 buffs in a single cast. Like combining: Personal Luck + Twist Fate + Mirror Image.

You could do 1 or 2 of these and then spend at 3-4 turns doing something actually useful during the battles.
