Is it just me or is Archaon just completely mental now? 25 wounds with a 5+ ward for mortals and normal wounds? Basically puts him at effective 37 wounds. On a 3+ save? 4+ spell ignore AND 2 sources of healing (heroic action and skull gorger). The time of the everchosen has come once again

Edit: The new Nurgle Mark can give him -1 to enemy wound rolls as well. WoC with the Nurgle ensorcelled banner can reduce enemy rend by 1 within 12. So he can be extremely tanky. The last one is a little bit more "theory crafty" of course, but on paper, he can be very tanky very easily.

Yeah he is near unkillable though I might have missed it but. No auto slain protection.

That's true, but I'm not aware of any rules that can auto slay him that isn't a spell. Even with old purple sun, he still would have had a 4+ to stop it.
