What are there 2 solos/attachments going to bring to the table in the future? Both are really interesting models. I'd love to see how they'll play out.

Probably nothing much. I somewhat doubt we will ever see them. Neither of them are really THAT fantastic, and the vanilla Precursor Knights all are more detailed and way cooler looking than both of those figures.

Generally, solos need to be "more" than units in terms of looks, and these don't really seem to fit the bill. We already know that not all rpg solos are being ported over into WM. It COULD happen - I won't say definitely it won't - but I will be mildly surprised if either of these guys ever happens. We'll probably see more Morrowan stuff in the future. I just don't think it will be either the chaplain or the paladin.

They've had rules before (them, plus the Knight of the Prophet, all had Lion's Coup rules), and I can definitely see them being ported over as MKII compliant versions of their MKI selves.

As Cygnaran Morrowan Allies, of course.

Based on the latest No Quarter, I'd speculate that Morrowen forces could use a unit of monks. That'd be pretty cool.

Oooooh neat - a monk unit? That would be pretty wild. Like it.

I actually own both models and i really like them. Maybe it's just me. I do think we need more units at this point then we do solos.

Well Looking at what they have done so far.... if we use the Lion's coup as a base..

They could all Mercs that work for Khador or Cygnar. The Precoursors are specifically a Cyngar order, in the fluff. But there are Morrowan holy dudes in Khador (as well as Menite ones).... and they are not precursors.

They would all have animosity to Thamarites and Undead. And I could imagine that you would not be able to use them with models that cause Fear or Terror... but that might be stretching it too close to the fluff.

The Cleric of Morrow could almost directly be converted to a 2 point solo. Magic ability of 6, and the three prayers would be apropos for the game. (Basically choose one of three to use: *attack- an 3" AOE Blind with RNG 8, *attack RNG 12 PoW 10, *action remove d3 damage from target model (the range would have to be toned back to B2B though).

The Battle chaplin has blessings (Think holy Rupert) that he could choose from: #1 makes a unit or model tough. This one would probably have to be changed, since the Piper already does this.... #2 target Model/unit gets +3 STR and an extra attack. I'm thinking they would probably reduce this to +2 STR only. #3 would probably disappear or be replaced entirely (enemy models ending activation within melee range take a pow 12...) He'd need some serious reworking to be introduced into the game... or they might not bring him over at all.


The prophet knight In LC rules has sword master (extra attack with weapon - which would go away, I'm sure), Forefit his move to get additional damage die roll (which would be ok, IMO), and friendly models within 3" get +2 DEF (Could stay, maybe). His weapon is PS 11 with Crit Brutal... so he'd likely be 3 points if they drop sword master and kept everything else relatively the same.

It would not be too hard to do the conversion and introduce them into the game, if they wanted to do it.
