    Tehenhuan and transformation

    If on foot can Tehenhuan, the prophet of sotek, cast the transformation of Kadon.

    Obviously if he's on an engine of the gods then he cant. But on foot? Does the tide of serpents affect his ability to go all mountain chimera on your ass?

    He's still a model on foot, so he can cast it. And he keeps the Tide of Serpents since it's a special rule.
    So you get your bazillion attacks, and then a few more low strength poison ones.

    Yes, because the Errata says so.

    Damnable errata :-( But as long as Tehenhuaun can then I'm happy. :-)

    How is it a model on foot? It's clearly "on ass" on a floating chair. Just because "on foot" is no longer synonymous with the "infantry" troop type….
    It's not like slann are unique in this regard; Skaven, Nurgle types, and Dwarfs all have character mounts that are Infantry too, and would preclude the Transformation, if only they could get it in the first place.

    The slann could walk if he wished. Guess its his own fault for being too pimp.

    No they can't. If they touch the ground it earths their powers and leaves them really open to being corrupted by chaos, hence the floating platform.

    Thanks TBO, that particular bit of fluff had escaped me my mind. That aside vmartini of course they have legs. Slann legs would be a delicacy at court in Couronne. :-P

    It's ok to ride a stegadon (Lord Mazdamundi) or a non-floating palanquin (old slann model) though.

    Re: Tehenhuan and transformation

    Yeah and with gws fluid interpretations and continual messing with their own fluff the next army book'll see slann on foot anyways.

    Anyway returning to my original q, I will be trying out tehenhuan this week. We'll see if he gets ti turn into a big gribbly or not.

    Re: Tehenhuan and transformation

    Down side is Tehenhuan is only a lvl 2 so chances of getting Transformation every time not so good. However, depending on your points, if you take a naked Slann also with Lore of Beast you can guarantee that Tehenhuan gets the Transformation. Roll Slann first, if he rolls a 6 drop it to sig spell then Tehenhuan will get transformation by default.
