Inconsistency on the Hippoxus entry for the Byzantii - Combat Weapon Options lists "Flail Bell" but the Ringing Bells rule lists "Chained Bells" instead.

Goghu query

A silly question, but does a Goghu count as 'bearing an Oghu Stone artefact" for the purposes of Albainn invocations?

I'm guessing not cause it's not said so, but it feels strange as it's actually made of Oghu Stone, hence my seeking clarification.

Re: Khthones new muster

If you are using Ophios, then wouldn't the Krokodor and the Hydrar fill 4 common slots? Presuming you are aiming for a Battle size force of 2000, then either one would fill your required number of commons. He'll wipe out your rares though, so that's the trade off.

Re: New Ubiquity Rules- Not Happy!

It's not clear though when I re-read it - I'd assumed to qualify as filling a ubiquity slot it would be effective size+. Then I re-read the Effective Size para and the talk about units being too big kinda threw me a little making me doubt it.
