So isnt the Lifetaker a repeater xbow? therefor being strength 4 and having Armor Piercing? sickness. Ooh, good point. I hope that gets FAQ'ed, too. And Grogsnot, probably so.. I don't think I have the skills to get a charge off with a foot char, and won't have one anyway unless he's the BSB, so I ...

Since we lost +1 to cast and casting values stayed the same, granted there were some boosts, I think chillwind might become my favorite, because: nothing irritates me more than 20 skirmishing bowmen at 5 (or is it 6?) pts a piece who: outrange the rxb, have the same hitting power (ok less now with A...

...for example the old Draich of Dark Power, 2-handed sword, but doesn't suffer from strike-last like ordinary great weapons.... All the rules for a magic item are included in it's text (not the fluff, the rest of it). In the case of the draich of dark power, the text said "two-handed weapon, ...

I intend to run a group of just the normal 5 or 6 with shields and champ so that they can survive a few more pot shots to do some rank breaking, and then another group or 2 with rxb's and no shields. Someone on here a month back spoke of using the hydra banner in DR in 6th edition to good effect, bu...

I'm not saying I think it was a good idea, just that I suspect that may have been the logic behind it. If anyone thought that (remotely) justifiable I'd like to hear their thoughts. So far, I'm hearing what I expected and I think is accurate. More are welcome to agree and help bash this foolhardy ch...

I will absolutely use the 'dirtlord,' without regret or remorse, at least once or twice against my Bretonnian playing friend. Possibly with a "Suck it" included for good measure, but only to my friends. Then I'll probably move him to a chariot or manticore to be a good sport (;)) and switc...

I've been thinking slightly about the Web of Shadows, and something someone said about Bladewind gave me a thought. Do you think GW raised it to 50 points because of the possibility of using the CoB on a char with the WoS to make so many KB attacks on a model? Is that remotely justifiable? Anyone ha...

The assassin loses his 360 degree LOS in a unit like any other char. The hydra moves as skirmishers in terms of positiong and facing models and marching through terrain, but as you explicitly pasted, must use the hydra's arcs for charging (forward only) and being charged.

I'm playing devil's advocate because I think their wording technically allows wounds and they didn't mean it. What a surprise. Casualty's definition says wounded, not wounded-so-badly-as-to-be-out-of-action.

@Roman V. Numeral - Chuck Norris don't spin kick anyone. He roundhouse kicks I voted Teclis. He is and will always be the most powerful sorcerer - whether we like it or not. Morathi is good, but not so good. If she were allowed to charge Teclis, then maybe she'd stand a chance (but I am pretty sure...

You can't really say keeps +1 to cast, she lost +1 to cast since she dropped from +2 to cast. And then even though you said "keeps" you counted the points for it! Nonono... However, yes, the ability to give her extra items is very nice, but makes her damned expensive. Special chars do typi...

Yah, but SilverHeimdall's already got that covered - you only get +1A from 2hw if on foot, not mounted.

And the definition of a casualty is one killed or injured, as per your local dictionary

From what the rumor threads have said, this is a 'to be determined' issue, but since they likened it to scrolls it seems hopeful.

I do not have the book yet though, so if I'm off and you have the book in hand, anyone, please let us both know

Don't forget to make them take a panic test, though, if you kill >=25% while they're charging. If you kill 5 of something chances are they should, and props to your Rxb-men!

Imagine what would happen if GW suddenly specifically stated that - Yes, the character IS a crewmember. This would mean that yes, the chariot now uses the hero's WS, but also, the hero will automatically die if the chariot dies (oops). I think I like the separation between hero and chariot just the...

Army Builder (which can be wrong) lists the War Altar as having two warhorses pulling it. But I don't remember them as part of the model off the top of my head. And I agree that it is a nasty bit of illogical RAW that a character may not be part of the chariot crew, Zeth. Everything within me scream...

Linda Lobsta Defenda wrote:Yes you can have a magical weapon (2 handed) and still have a shield (but if course you cant use the shield in close combat since you must use the weapon.

So what do you think about magic armors on champions, RAW, Linda?

Black Guards do not have shields, the champion cannot take a magic shield. Right, that wasn't the question. It was if they could take a magic armor given that you can't remove/opt to not pay for their armor. CoK have a shield though, and I was wondering if a CoK could have the Crimson Death. So eve...

If an area of effect spell is cast and it would affect multiple units all with MR, would you get dice for all of those units? No. Under Magic Resistance my rulebook says: "Magic resistance is never cumulative." And you can only try to dispel a spell once, so you can't take them sequential...

That's what I was thinking/afraid of, getwisteerd, but I'd also just woken up. Any RAW-minded folk on here care to jump in and agree/disagree?

It's not so often I need to ask for clarifications, though lately I seem to be slipping in my rules knowledge since I put it all on the shelf till our new book, now just gotta dust off my brain Can a champion with a shield (CoK) take a magic two-handed weapon and just not use his shield in CC, or si...

CC attacks against the STank hit automatically, don't they? Consistent with WS 0 (except the bit somewhere about a model dying if any of its stats are 0, but it's not really 0 here, just '-').

This is definitely a great leg up, even if there are a few things left out, given most of us have no access to the book and are lazy - thanks!

Did you get my PM of questions and fixes?
