Re: Hunting Party of Chrace vs Lizardmen (+Fluff BR)

Ahh yes good point. Neither of us even remembered that when he cast the spell. Metal was definitely not a great choice. He usually brings light or life with his Slann. Against his normal list I'm sure it would have been a much tougher fight.

Glad you enjoyed the report and fluff.

Re: Lore of Death Atrribute Question

Thanks had a disagreement on this with a fellow Asur player and we came to a suitable agreement that it was only the wounds that it caused (2). Unfortunately for me he was able to eliminate 2 such RBT's with these spells :(

Lore of Death Atrribute Question

A Repeater Bolt thrower is sniped using Fate, Curse, Spirit Leech etc. The player sniping it rolls 6 wounds, easily enough to destroy the chariot. How many dice does he roll to see if he regains any power dice? Is it 6 or 2? My thoughts are they would only be allowed to roll 2 dice as the spell can ...

This was the model I used for my man of intrigue at Waaaghpaca.

Re: Weird fleeing question

Ahh so the white lions in this situation would have to declare a new charge on the mage if they were unable to avoid it by using their one free wheel. So it's not the interposing model rule necessarily but something similar does appear to be in the book.

I'm with Bolt Thrower on this one but can see where you are coming from Stormie.

In one of the FAQ's it states that if a ...

Re: Dealing with Cupped hands / Salamanders

Ya unfortunately now the Handlers are basically ward saves for the Salamander. However, if you hit him with a lot of shots and wounds make sure he doesn't allocate more wounds to the handlers than he has handlers. It's not ACTUALLY a ward save. I had an opponent play it where I did 7 wounds with 3 R...

I almost responded to this yesterday in the same way as KJSparkz, but I checked the wording first.

Teclis can ignore his own first miscast each turn, but the Cupped Hands is (arguably) not his o...
