Im thinking about running a warlord with a shield on a litter with a wizards hat in a unit of slaves or clanrats to get leadership boost just to get access to the new lores because i feel left out of all the fun!

I have thought about it and I am not keen enough to buy this over priced item.

I'm sure it won't be a tournament winner but it will be a fun to try once in a while.

I'm pretty disappointed they took the extra level away from the book of ashur. It still sort of does the same thing, but for that price you should get a 5th spell too.

it does allow us access to the powerful new lores, though. maybe not all that competitive, but it'd be a good way to tosss in some variety.

yeah i am thinking of doing a model for this. i would of preferred it to be lvl 1 wizard and only 45 points than 100 for level 2 but hey should be fun to try out. especially in larger games or double warlord lists.

I'm thinking stormvermin with arms somehow crossed looking rather grim with a blue wizard hat tipped forward....

I was thinking about taking one of those really old school lego hats and putting it on. I believe a funny magic item deserves a funny model.

Interesting idea, and I would be tempted to do it, just for a wizard with some decent armour :P

One thing I don't like, is that the spell lore is randomly chosen. This might turn up some unfavourable match-ups -_-

should be ok most of the time the only bad thing would be if you get fire or something lots of magic missles but flaming sword would be awesome or some of the beasts spells.

I'll probably never play a tournament game so that sounds like an excellent item choice. The modelling possibilities are endless, you could make one for each lore if you want to. And they all would have to look a bit crazy while the hat whispers strange things into their ears. Something like this:

I'd probably even take it to a tournament in hopes of totally screwing up someones plans. It's the only way to change lores currently in a tournament, unless the organizer specifically allows change of lores (not much of a change for Skaven but to those that used to tool up their magic for each opponent, it chanhges many things).

i agree, the hat costs to much as it only gives you one random spell (that's what i've heard anyway - it is just one random spell isn't it?)

It makes you a level 2 but you can always default 1 spell so its 1 random and 1 guarantee but that depends if you like the default spells.

The default spells are at least semi-useful these days, certainly more useful than last edition. Plus you get the lore's "bonus feature" which will sometimes be nice.

Ultimately, it's very hit and miss, but why not for a bit of fun?
