- Included with The Changeling – Shadows of Change, or the original complete Shadows of Change pack. The Yuan Bo or Mother Ostankya pack alone does not unlock the Blue Scribes.
- Recruit through their mission chain in an eligible Immortal Empires campaign. Owning the hero content is separate from owning the lord whose campaign you choose.
Two scribes, one Legendary Hero
P'tarix and Xirat'p travel together on a Disc of Tzeentch, collecting spells and recording magical knowledge. They occupy a hero role in an existing faction rather than providing another selectable campaign leader.
Their scrolls turn that collection into a varied magical presence on the battlefield. The spells available to them can change, so inspect their abilities during the fight before planning around a particular cast.
Follow the faction mission chain
In a Tzeentch Immortal Empires campaign, watch for the Scribes' recruitment missions and follow the objectives shown for your faction. Kairos's settlement campaign and the Changeling's cult campaign use different infrastructure. Use the active mission's building requirement for that campaign.
Work with the spells you have
Treat the Scribes as mobile magical support. Position them where they can cast without sitting inside enemy missile fire, and keep a route away from flying attackers. Their place above the army does not make them safe from interception.
Kairos already supplies a broad spell selection, while the Changeling's role depends on his chosen form. Add the Scribes when their varied magic helps the force, and keep a screen around the Horrors so the army can exploit their spells.
The Scribes’ spell selection changes, making them a flexible caster rather than a promise of one particular spell on demand. Read the available spells, then choose a target and cast direction that suit the current engagement.
Their Disc gives them a flying position from which to seek useful angles. Keep them away from enemy missiles and flying attackers while the rest of the army holds the battle together. Aekold provides a melee alternative when your force already has enough casting support.
Recruiting the wandering wizards
Kairos’s Oracles of Tzeentch can recruit the Scribes when the required DLC is owned. The Changeling has a mission route too, while the Daemon Prince and selected Warriors of Chaos factions have their own access. Follow the chain and choose to recruit the Scribes at the final decision.
They join an existing faction and occupy a hero slot in its army. Buying their pack does not give them a selectable faction, independent capital or starting army.
Collectors of magic
The Scribes travel through mortal and daemonic realms recording spells. Their in-game account connects that work to fragments of Tzeentch’s power, while their haphazard reading explains the unpredictable magic they bring to battle.
