Re: Fiery Convocation in every magic phase

And remember, you may not use a Dispel Scroll to dispel a Remains in Play spell in subsequent turns.

My last game I got the Convocation off on a 150-rat strong unit of Stormvermin. It was glorious. (not kidding on the size. One hundred fifty rats. It was a large game.)

Re: Loremaster Squared...?

I actually had this happen in my last game.

A wizard tower was dropped, and my Loremaster and his Lions bodyguard rounded it to get the spells. Threw out a Purple Sun and some other nice stuff, till a Skaven Warlock Engineer destroyed the tower.

Re: Does Blizzard Aura stack?

I don't normally chip in to such things but I'll have a go. "A model gains no additional benefit from having the same special rule multiple times". This says to me that ASL doesn't stack, as I'm sure everyone will agree. However the Blizzard Aura states The enemy gain the ASL special rule...

Re: Does Blizzard Aura stack?

As the rule is written from the enemy unit's point of view, and simply asks the question "is it in contact with A phoenix", as written it does not seem to stack if two Frosthearts are in contact with the same unit.

Re: bolt throwers, multi shot penaly?

The new bolt throwers fire six times. They do not have the Multiple Shots special rule. Without the special rule, there should be no penalty.

Re: New ASF - seeking clarification

What of archers, spears, and Sea Guard? Rerolls? Yes. As it stands, our White Lions, Swordmasters, and characters with Great weapons will not have re-rolls. Silver Helms, Dragon Princes, Archers, Spears, Sea Guard, Shadow warriors, and Eagles (thanks to their upgrade option) can all gain ASF re-rolls

eagles in the Storm of Magic book have an upgrade called Swiftsense. It gives Always Strikes First.
They also cost the same as our eagles and can be taken in units of up to 5.

Re: Flying charge onto scree slope

It is how we ended up playing it. The Eagle did end it's charge on the slope.

We just couldn't figure out which rule would take precedence: The Eagle's "All Terrain Is Open Ground", or the Slope's "This Terrain is Dangerous Terrain".

Re: LD, & Slave explosion

1) 10 is the cap for stats, including leadership

2) Skavenslaves exploding is based on number of ranks, not rank bonus, so no cap. The ranks still each need 5 or more models to count, however.

Cool. The situation in question involved chain-declaring charges against a fleeing unit, in order to force it to flee more and more. Since the charge reactions are declared and resolved after each charge declaration (rather than after all charge declarations), once the unit flees out of maximum char...
