9th Entwined Roots Question - Urgent!

Post by Mollesvinet »

Hello,

is there a guru around who can help me with this question, it is about entwined roots:

Entwined Roots ( 5 pts)
During Army creation, upgrade one unit of Dryads for +4
points/model or one unit of Thicket Beasts for +10
points/model to +1 Strength. This bonus applies only as
long as the wearer is alive.

Is the extra cost added to the character cost or to the unit that is being upgraded? This makes quite a difference, as I am upgrading dryads and am only just filling out my core selection if the cost is added to them.

I need to submit my list before the end of January, so any help before then would be highly appreciated.

Hee there,

Not a guru and not entirely sure either, but I think it counts as extra points for the unit getting the buff.

If I remember correctly it used to be extra points on the character picking the upgrade. I thought they changed it because it would better reflect the actual points the unit getting the upgrade was worth, especially for victory points scoring.

I'll check if I can find the post about this again.

Cheers,
Isjiek

Edit:
Here is SE version 10.1 from the archives:
http://www.the-ninth-age.com/pdf/archiv ... 0-10-1.pdf

"Entwined Roots (70 pts)
After deployment, choose a unit of Dryads or Thicket
Beasts. This unit has +1 Strength as long as the wearer is
alive."

Looks like they changed this so the points would be on the unit.

I agree, if it followed GW's practice it would be on the unit.

Hence the change from picking at the start of the game to writing it into the army list, I guess.

The best thing to do is post on the 9A forum- either in the shoutbox, or here. You're get a much faster answer there than here. I'm not all there with the rules, as my attention is firmly focussed on the fluff writing, but plenty of people are using the rules and heavily engaged in making them work, and they'll be happy to help.

It is pr. model in the unit that gets the buff.

Alright, thank you for the answers everyone. I had originally put the extra points on the dryad unit, but I just wanted to double check as my native language isn't English and I could have been confused.

List is then legal and ready to be submitted!

I am hoping to do some reports from the tournament, or at least a writeup if time allows it.
