The Hero warband - witch elves as henchmen?

[Arquinsiel]

implies that the witch would still count the WE

Erm, yeah, should one witch lose frenzy she will be able to count other witches as friendly, note the phrase:

for a warrior of the other sect

It makes perfect sense to me.

Typo on account of fatigue (sorceress = sorcière = witch). I've edite the post, so that should actually make sense now.

Yes, this is one of big mysteries of Warhammer, at least for me.

I know, that my English is not perfect, but AFAIK "witch" is a term for a female magic user (usually inclined to natural magic, compared to sorceress, who is more hermetic-like). The frenzied girls are, by they job description, priestesses, and are not magic users. Why are they called Witch Elves is simply beyond me ;-)

(Just a random rant...)

[Lord aldarith]

Yeah ! I also thought that for once, the french translation "Furie" was much better than the english term "witch elf"... But then "Fury" refers to another creature of the WFB world so I would say that is sort of a problem and I doubt anyone would ever consider translating into the english version a word from French
"Devoted of Khaine" would have been much closer to the "reality" of what a witch elf is ! Not even talking about "Hag" which, to me, refers both to an insult and a really old and disgusting woman practicing magic, which is not exactly what they are supposed to be - even if these girls do actually age, such as Hellebron. Does anyone think that we should, as a matter of clarification, ask GW to rethink the name of "Witch elf" and "Hag" - maybe suggesting "Devoted of Khaine" for the first and "High priestess" or simply "Priestess of Khaine" for the latter ? What about the Mordheim band ?

Oui, sauf qu'une furie an anglais, c'est une gargouille du Chaos. Vive GeuWeu et leur département traductions, hein?

The hag is actually a reference to just that. Hags are those priestesses of Khaine that are old. Hellebron is not the only one to use a Cauldron to rejuvenate.

And as far as the names are concerned, I'm inclined to agree - but once again, this is going to be official warband, so deviating from the GW official line isn't possible. We could always go off and create our own game system.

Mais il's sont les arbitrés du fate dan les mythologies Grecie.

Anyway, to sort it all out:

Sect Enimity:
Witch elves and Sorceress do not count as a friendly model for the purposes of an All Alone test for a warrior of the other sect. Note that for a witch elf this will only apply should she lose her frenzy.

Better?

Yeah, pardon my French.

That's fine, though I still think the last sentence is redundant. In it goes, next update. >.>

[Arquinsiel]

YAY! I'm helping!

*cough*

Meh, you know there'll be someone who forgets that rule. I know most of my group fail to remember the All Alone rule in it's entirety on a regular basis.

[Cat-the-odd]

nice... what is next?

schould'nt be there a poll for the name of the counterstriking skill?
