Re: Malekith's Armour of Midnight

Things that remove from the game without inflicting a wound (like Giant's attack) do bypass this Armour. Ward save is taken only against a successful wound and he is immune only to further damage from attacks that multiply that wound they already inflicted. So, no wound - no either effect from the a...

Re: Vamp Q about allocating CR Wounds

So, in this case, each and every one of them suffers 3 wounds. Got it. What happens in case of odd # of wounds - for example, distributing 7 wounds between 2 characters - would the VC player have an option of choosing where to allocate that single odd wound or would it be randomized? Your talking a...

Vamp Q about allocating CR Wounds

This is the situation: an undead unit containing 3 characters (one lord (3 Wounds) and 2 hero-level Vamps (2 Wounds each)) loses a combat by, let's say 20. This is enough to wipe the entire R'nF unit and there are 9 wounds left to allocate between the remaining characters. So, my question is, what a...

Re: is 501 pts legal?

In casual games it is very much acceptable, especially if you are still tweaking and testing your list. In tournaments it is very much forbidden.

Re: The sad truth about our magic items.

It's a bit flawed comparison since you didn't take into account those special non-items, like Spites, since they are very much like items in most regards. And there you'd find several more 'must-have' items, like Annoyance, Cluster or Peagent. Besides, only 8 good items? Could you, at least for Asra...

Re: Pursuit

unicorn wrote: Yes. If we talk about failed panic because of the 25 % + losses.
What? Isn't it that the unit flees from the source of Panic, ie from the unit that inflicted that wound that pushed it beyond a 25% threshold, regardless of how many wounds did previous unit(s) inflict?

Mounting him means he's unable to join Wardancers. He also gets no real benefit, since he's also un...

Re: A quick Treesinging question!!!

Touching something isn't the same as being in something. For an easy proof, try that with your finger and a wall :D .

Also, I'll move this to Rules.

EDIT: and yes, as previously mentioned by Tethlis, your forest does not need to stop 1'' away from the enemy unit, it stops only upon contact.

but you can not target character upon a chariot or so. Sure you can - a chariot is a character's mount, just like a Dragon would be. As long as they have separate profiles, they are legal targets. Hech, you can shoot either a character or a chariot, should you wish to... However, shooting a non-cha...

Re: Which Lord choice to take for tourney?

I always advocate using Wild Rider Lord as IMO this guy is capable of dealing with threats the rest of the army (and most of the other Lord choices) aren't - Fear-causing killy fast characters, like Bloodthirsters. My proposed setup: KB Lance, Annoyance, AotFey - 303 pts of pure love.
