AoS Orion's Command Ability

Post by Gwill_of_the_Woods »

Hey guys,

Just a quick question to you all.

Does Orion's "King in the Woods" Command Ability apply to himself as well, ie does he get to re-roll wound rolls of a 1 in the combat phase?
To me I think it would include himself, but I'd be interested in your opinions.

"King in the Woods: If Orion uses this ability, then until your next hero phase you can re-roll wound rolls of 1 for WANDERER units from your army that are within 16" of Orion when they attack in the combat phase."

I have had a game using an all Sylvaneth army (Branchwraith, Treeman, 12 Dryads, 2x3 Treekin) which I absolutely loved and I am looking to use Orion in one of my future games. I'll take him with 2 Hunting Hounds near by, and I have 5 Fenrisian Wolves painted up ready to summon.

On the subject, has anybody had the chance to use Orion in an AoS game yet?

Thanks,

~Gwill :D
Long live the King in the Woods!!!

If Orion has the WANDERER tag then yes it does apply. I intent using him in an aos game soon as in the rules he can shoot with all his missile weapons at once!

That was my thought.

Keywords: Order, Aelf, Wanderer, Hero, Orion

Yeah I noticed that he shot with both weapons. What a beast huh?! Haha!

It's worse when he moves up shoots all his weapons into a unit then charges in to mop up the remains in close combat! Total beast!
