I have a few hierophantish questions.
1) if we take arkhan the black, can we have a lesser lvl 1 or 2 priest be our hierophant?(I realize probably not but if anyone can prove otherwise great) Im kinda under the impression that he always has to be the hierophant for being lvl 5 unless you take the ole poobah with him. 2) if we take arkhan as our heirophant, can additonal priests be light priests without any nehek priests? I'm guessing we can since the only restriction is the highest priest must be nehek and the phant, but arkhan's rule directly overrules that. thanks! -------------------- Hey i like my bone giant's Chiquita Banana Hat!

I've actually emailed GW website about this question, and the reply I got was he doesn't have to be the Hierophant even tho he is the highest Mage level in the army.
As long as their is another Mage with Lore of Nek then they can be the hierophant. The only Mage who HAS to be the hierophant is Khetep. They then went onto say that this will added to the FAQ's when then next do their updates. (I would post up the email but I can't seem to find it) -------------------- 8th Edition Tomb Kings

That'll be an outright rewriting of the rules then, not a simple clarification. Based on the text describing the hierophant in our army rules, it's easily possible to have arkhan and a lower level lich with the lore of light. rules are simple:
1 highest level undead wizard (not lich, it says undead wizard) gets to be hierophant, tie means you choose. 2 hierophant HAS to have lore of Khemri. 3 Rule 2 is overuled by the fact that arkhans rule has him use death EVEN if he is hierophant. ....... Nehekarran undead wizard you say.... I CALL WIZARD KING WITH WIZARD HAT! (again) -------------------- Ceterum censeo quod chaos-nani non realis libri!

So you'd have a sort of bargain-basement Settra, then? Stick that on a Sphinx!

Yeah, I get that, but the hierophant rule simply states that your highest level wizard must be the hierophant. Arkhan is a level 4 (The item making him lvl 5 comes into play later I guess), so there should be no way in which a lvl 2 you also happened to bring could be hierophant. GW mailing you otherwise means they are making up additional stuf again, because there is (read: 'I can find') no rules basis for their mail in our armybook.

Sorry, but the speculation of GW web-monkeys doesnt strike me as being an official way to change the rules that are printed in the book. Until they add that to the FAQ that Arkhan can be fielded alongside a lower level hierophant then he will always be the hiero unless fielded in the same army as Khatep. Here's a (hopefully foolproof) guide to appointing your hierophant If fielding Khatep he is always the hierophant If Khatep is not present but Arkhan is, he must be the hiero (since he is L5 and may be the hiero) If neither Arkhan or Khatep are present you may choose a level 4 LHP to be hierophant If neither Arkhan or Khatep are present and you have no L4 LHP you may choose a L3 LHP as the hiero If neither Arkhan or Khatep or any LHP is present you may choose a L2 as the hiero If neither Arkhan, Khatep, any LHP or any L2 LP are present you may choose any L1 as the hiero (including Settra) If you have no wizards of any kind in your army is it illegal. In addition, if you are not fielding Arkhan one of your highest level wizards must use the Lore of nehekhara, otherwise the list is illegal. --------------------
