I believe the new Faq suggests that book of secerts just makes you a level one caster, and will therefore do nothing for your level one Tzc caster!

It's too bad really...if we could have a power familiar and the BOS giving us additional power dice it'd really help the magic phase!

The FAQ says indeed that your mage becomes a lvl 1, even if he is a Lord.

But the book is cheaper than buying an extra level for your mage and you get that 2nd spell :)

Nope, you won't get that other spell. The book changes whoever you are to a level 1 wizard with only 1 spell from the chosen lore.

You can however give it to your BSB to get an extra power dice and spell while you keep the Tzeentch sorcerer.

This is the wording that is relevant:

Page 115 – Book of Secrets, second paragraph Change to “Treat the bearer as a Level 1 Wizard, who may use the Lore of Fire, Lore of Shadow or Lore of Death. He may not attempt to channel. If he ever casts a spell with irresistible force he must roll D6+1 rather than 2D6 on the Miscast table.”

You loose the ability to choose from the lore of god X when taking the book.

Well, instead of going up against my friends alone, another friend called to join in on the fun and brought his HE to the battle. 2 unstable alliances (or whatever the term), cool...

I'm not gonna post a bat rep (because we only got to play 3 turns, I got called away :/) but here is a summary of what my units did:

- 18 warriors of Khorne only had 1 CC round but killed 11 Empire Spearmen, none got killed in return.

- 17 Warriors of Tzeentch (5+ Ward Save) + Tzeenthc BSB killed a unit of 19 Grave Guard + Wight King in challenge! These GG had a GW and got to use WS 6 due to Helm of Commandment 3 times!! But still they died (again). The 5+ WaS is great!!

- Marauders of Tzeentch (5+ WaS) killed a VC skeleton horde and held against a combo charge by Black Coach and Varghulf.

- Marauders of Khorne had to go up against a Ghoul Horde + Hero and didn't do too well

- Nobody paid attention to my Hounds, so they killed 2 Empire Cannon Crew :)

- Tzeentch BSB (sword of swift striking + Collar) killed a Wight King in challenge (4 hits, 3 wounds!) and then went on killing about 2 GG per turn.

- Tzeentch Lord didn't get the chance to cast many spells since we had to divide PD (unstable alliance thingy) but still managed to kill 19 Empire Halberdiers with Treason of Tzeentch and 3 Empire Swordsmen with FF.

- Hellcannon was a bit of a disappointment with 2 10" scatters and 1 hit (killing 4 Empire xbow and putting a wound on an EM hero).

All in all, I felt that up until that point WoC performed admirably!

Tzeentch + Parry FTW!
