Recruitment[ | ]
- Recruited with: Parchment & Ink dilemma
Description[ | ]
It is said that Tzeentch once shattered into ten thousand pieces, each shard shifting to form a spell or incantation. Thus, the Blue Scribes ride their Disc of Tzeentch through realms eternal and mortal, squabbling as they seek lost fragments of their god to bind with parchment and ink. Their mission often draws them towards the tumult of battle, where the most destructive and powerful magics are used. If threatened, one of the scribes starts reading at random from the scrolls they have accumulated, trusting the hand of fate – his master – to guide him to a fitting spell for each occasion. With such powerful magics reeled off at random, a foe is as likely to be struck by multicoloured lightning as he is to be drenched by his own personal thunderstorm or transmuted into solid gold.

Strategy[ | ]
Putting the Blue Scribes in your army is about accepting one of your wizards will be a roulette wheel for certain concrete benefits. With their Funnel Magic passive, they will significantly increase the effectiveness of other magic users, particularly useful for Tzeentch and Tzeentch-orientated armies since they also provide hefty buffs for all types of Horror. You can game their spell rerolling a bit by upgrading only the one or two lores you're interested in - Life, for instance, is extremely helpful for Chaos - and then either putting all their points into passives or simply not upgrading them at all. They do alright damage with their missile attack, but they are extremely squishy and need to be kept out of the line of fire as much as possible.
Alternatively, they actually perform well as an agent. With the Tzeentch's Quaestors passive their Steal Tech action provides a massive discount, particularly with the recent changes to how research rate is calculated. Couple that with an adequate Assassinate chance and Siphon Winds and you have an agent who is very useful tagging along with one of your front line armies.
Trivia[ | ]
- Their trait's name and flavour text is a reference to the song Just The Two of Us by Bill Withers.
- They are called P'tarix and Xirat'p. P'tarix is the one that writes the spell, while Xirat'p is the one that reads the spells.
