<p><b>Battlegroup Controllers</b> (aka "Journeyman Warcaster" aka "Junior Warcaster") are essentially mini-warcasters. They share the same rules except <b>1)</b> they don't have a feat and <b>2)</b> they are a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Solo" title="Solo">solo</a> model instead of a warcaster model. The later is relevant for spells/abilities that interact only with warcasters or only with non-warcasters (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Black_Arts" title="Black Arts">Black Arts</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Parlay" title="Parlay">Parlay</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Seduction" title="Seduction">Seduction</a>, etc).<br />
</p><p>In mk2 they were known as Journeyman Warcasters, but this led to confusion with the actual <a href="/index.php?title=Journeyman_Warcaster" title="Journeyman Warcaster">Journeyman Warcaster</a> which is a Cygnar model, so they were renamed in mk3 to the much less intuitive title.<br />
</p><p>The equivalent rule in Hordes is <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Lesser_Warlock" title="Lesser Warlock">Lesser Warlock</a>. The limited Faction <a href="/index.php?title=Infernals" title="Infernals">Infernals</a> has a similar, but slightly more powerful version <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Master_Infernalist" title="Master Infernalist">Master Infernalist</a>.<br />
