Editing Scrollhammer: Daedra Cults 2.0 (section)

===Daedra Cultists===

Cultists are the mortal pawns of the Daedric Princes, erecting shrines on Mundus by which to commune with them, and performing rituals by which to summon them.

All the cultists in your main army(even in a Daedra army), of all units and types, must be declared as dedicated to a single Daedric Prince in the army list. This gives them access to unique spells (including the ability to summon Daedra associated with that Prince), special rules, and access to that Prince's artifacts as described in the [[Scrollhammer: Artifacts of Tamriel| Artifacts of Tamriel supplement]]. A Daedric Prince's associated Daedra, if it has one, are not 0-1 in a Cult Army serving that Daedric Prince.

Two Cultist unit types may be formed.

Priest with Retinue (Hero): 1 Sorcerer-Priest or High Priest with retinue of 4-9 Sorcerers and Blackguards.

Coven (Core): 1 Sorcerer or Blackguard  (unit leader) with 9-19 Cultists and Minions, and 0-10 Initiates.

Priest and Coven are both 0-1 unless the Priest is nominated as your general, in the case of a cult army.

All the cultists in an allied detachment using this army book, whether a Cult or Daedra army, must also be aligned to a particular Daedric Prince. This Daedric Prince may be the same as the one in the primary army, or it may be a different one, if a Cult army allies with a Daedra army. Note, however, that if the Daedric Princes served are different, the two armies will be Grudging Allies, rather than Trusted Allies. Servants of Jyggalag and Sheogorath can never ally with one another.


====Sorcerer Priests====

'''Hero'''

A Sorcerer Priest may be any of the 10 common races of Tamriel. Sorcerer Priests must lead a unit of 4-9 Sorcerers and/or Blackguards (see 'Cultists' entry), and count as a single Hero choice.

Base Size: 25mm x 25mm.

35 pts (55 pts for High Priest)
