Hey all, does the mount of a hero or lord also count towards rare choice, i.e. lord on terrorghiest and 2x terrorghiest in a 2500 game thanks

That was more of a 6th edition thing
Generally in 8th, unless it says otherwise, the points for a mount are taken out of the same allowance as the thing riding them ✌️

What sonofkurnos says. Anything that falls under "options" in the army entry list of a model counts towards the points of the unit category of that model - unless, of course, specifically stated otherwise. Character mounts generally fall under "options," and thus normally count towards the points of the model's unit category. |

And while we are on the subject:
BRB Official Update Version 1.9, p.12:
Q: If I kill a character but not their mount, do I score victory points for just the character, the character and their mount, or must I kill the mount too in order to score any victory points? (p143)
A: You must kill the character and his mount to score any victory points.

Out of curiosity how do people feel about that rule? 🤔 somehow feels a bit annoying that they did away with points for half strength, though I do agree with not getting full points if you don't fully kill a character.

Personally, I think it would make much more sense that, if mount and rider can exist separately, you count their VP separately too.

It's weird actually, I'm quite split on the matter.
When I have a character on a monster mount, I love having their points contained in both parts.
However, and this is the weird bit;
When my opponent has a character on a monster mount, I favour splitting their points for VPs.

Two souls, alas, exist in my breast,
One separated from another:
One, with its crude love of life, just
Clings to the mount, tenaciously, grips tight;
The other swears powerfully when discussed
In the case of the opponent's might.

However, and this is the weird bit; When my opponent has a character on a monster mount, I favour splitting their points for VPs. Perplexing concept indeed. Perhaps we should consult some psychologists to investigate and get down to the root cause of this paradox… /s |
