Hiya
Just made a quick search and came up empty handed.
I just realised Skaldi do NOT have the champion keyword hence isn't a champion.
Basically that do not effect anything except one tiny thingy: Retaliatory Strike from the Hero
this is strange but also huge. Having Skaldi not striking back is really not cool.
Personally that surprised me as I played champs for the second time this weekend (since CID) and wasn't aware of this strangeness.
If I only run one unit of Champs is the Hero still worth it for the retaliatory strike?
(just surprised honestly)

It would appear from reading the cards that you are correct and Skaldi does not gain Retaliatory Strike, he can however still be used as a pool of hitpoints so your other models can afford to hit back. I often see people keep Skaldi on the second line until they go in anyway, because he also grants other valuable abilities to the unit and they don't want him to take a lot of damage.
Whether or not the Champion Hero is worth it would depend on what else is in your list. For instance, if there is no Fellcaller Hero, it might be worth swapping it. If your list has everything it needs, there's no harm in adding the it.

That can't be an intended interaction can it? My bet is an oversight, albeit a weird one.

Oh PP how you have failed us all.
Champ hero is tough cuz he competes with fell caller and runebearer. :/ so at least it won’t come up often:P
