Re: Charges and forward arc

Regarding swift reform and charges, first of all. All charges must be declared before any swift reforms of any type are made. Second of all, the only type of movement that are allowed after a swift reform are a normal move, no march etc. And you can never move closer to any enemy unit that 1 inch, ...

Re: Wounds from bolt throwers/Amber Spear

Only one thing - it can cause wounds up to your max profile wounds. So say the BT hits 2 of your Treekins, an´d one of them is sitting on 1 wound, another on 3. He will wound and roll 2 for No of wounds - that will cause on treekin dead and another on 2 wounds. In another words, it can not cause mor...

Re: Weapons per character

Characters can have unlimited weapons... Exactly. I only wish to add that this stands for non-magical weapons; he can have only 1 magical weapon tough. Also, if you take a magic close combat weapon you can't use anything except that weapon in close combat, so again, it's kind of pointless to take a...

Now, can they take a suit of magical Heavy Armor?

If not, what class of armor is the Armor of Silvered Steel? It is an armor. Not...

Re: Wood Elf Rumors

I believe that they're not selling that much now due to the fact that they are not very effective on the battlefield anymore. As soon as we get a new book there will be much demand in the GW stores. Like every other army - after new AB, the sales goes up. But generally, Brets are one of top selling...

I really don't understand why Dwarves need a rewrite, even if they were due one - they're fairly decent in 8th Edition. Personally, I understand this. Dawis are one of the top selling armies, but they have a lot of old and ugly models. And cheap (read: old selling prises) ones. With the new book, y...

Re: Moonstone into Mysterious Forest

This question is good, tough little irrelevant. Cause only one wood calculates with "moving through" - and it forces you to take dangerous terrain test. What WE do not care much about, as we are forest striders.
