Wind blast off the board

#1 Post by ju1ce »

Hi,
What happens when a wind blast spell from heavens pushes a unit off the board?
thx

Someone may correct me but I believe it says somewhere in the BRB that unless you are pursuing or fleeing, the board edges are impassable.

The answer is in the rulebook FAQ: http://www.blacklibrary.com/Downloads/P ... EBOOK-.pdf
FAQ p.4 wrote:Reference Section - The Lore of Heavens, Wind Blast.
Add the following at the end of the third sentence: 'Treat the edge of the board as impassable terrain for the purposes of this spell.'

Which raises a question in that would that destroy the unit? Units that, for example, flee into impassable terrain are destroyed I believe...

No. The unit takes a bunch of hits. See the spell description.

Units can flee through impassible terrain. They just take a dangerous terrain test for each model running through it. Same as when running through other units.

Ah. I must confess to being a little behind on the 8th edition rules.
