Yes it is still a Pitched Battle (so the Wood Elves in the example above still get their extra wood). This is stated on page 248 of the hardback rulebook, Scenarios, first paragraph.

Unless differently specified, use the best value, in other words the value that makes it more likely to pass the test.

A unit can make its move freely as long as it stays 1" away from all enemies during its entire move.

The rules for charging on page 18 state: 'When you declare a charge you must do so without measuring the distance to the target, you must rely on your estimate of the distance to ensure that your troops can reach their target'. Emphasis on the 'ensure'. Therefore, declaring a charge that you know cannot be completed (like charging a unit 24" away) is cheating.

In cases where it's not obvious how far away a target unit is, the decision to charge or not is left to the conscience of the charging player (see also the 'Awkward charges' appendix). Our players, which are of course all sportsmen, will never declare a charge if they think their unit cannot complete the charge in order to gain an unfair advantage!

A very interesting question, and not an easy one to answer! Yes, we think it's acceptable to declare a charge in this kind of situations, and if the condition does not allow the unit to complete the charge (the friendly unit in the way does rally, in the example above), the charge fails.

No, you may charge the flank/rear of an enemy only if you are in that enemy's flank/rear zone. Therefore the unit in the example above must move until it is in the enemy unit's flank zone before it can charge its flank.

If the movement of the Compulsory moving unit is found to be in range (i.e. it's a valid charge!), and the charged unit flees, the fleeing movement is resolved immediately, and finally the compulsory move of the charger is resolved.

They must obey the normal rules, and so if they would hit a side of the enemy that they cannot charge, they must stop 1" away from the enemy.

No, it cannot move further that turn, as the compulsory moves part of the Movement phase has already passed.

This is never clearly specified, but we think it is best if they remain facing the direction they moved in. This not only looks and feels 'right', but also remains in line with the way fleeing units move (they are, after all, by far the most common type of unit subject to compulsory movement).

All charging units (including chariots, monsters, etc.): 1) Must try and bring as many models into the combat as possible, and 2) can wheel (or pivot) only once during the charge move.

The Failed Charge rules on page 21 state that a unit may fail a charge because 'the enemy has fled out of reach, or if you have estimated your charge incorrectly'. This includes situations when a unit declares a charge and then finds out that the charge cannot be completed for reasons other than enemy in the way (e.g. not enough space to squeeze through terrain, friendly units blocking the way, and so on). In such cases, the charge is failed, and the charging unit must stop in contact with the friendly unit or impassable terrain blocking its way,, or inside the difficult terrain slowing it down, etc. Note that the charge reaction declared by the enemy still stands.

As the charging unit has declared a new charge, it will have to go after the latest unit it has charged (B in the example above).

Yes, as this represents the unit spotting a new target as it thunders towards the fleeing enemies.

Yes, and this process will continue until the situation comes to either a successful charge or a failed charge. Note that units that are charged again through this process do not get a new charge reaction, which may sometimes mean that when the charging unit will finally move its full charge distance, it may destroy several units that fled from its charge.

Yes they can, so long as doing so doesn't reduce the number of models engaged.

Yes, as normally they are the same creatures that are slowed down by barding when ridden by other models in that army.

Simple! First Turn the front rank 90 degrees towards the intended direction, rotating the model(s) in the centre of the front rank around their centre. Then do the same with the rear ranks and move them back into contact with the first rank. Because the models aren't on square bases, this turn will result in the formation changing shape slightly.

Yes, they are, as the limit only specifically applies to the Reform manoeuvre.

Yes, this is fine.

It does not shoot at all. This question is, of course, only relevant if there is a chance for the firing model to be hurt by its own weapon.

Yes, this is possible in theory, but certainly not easy to achieve!

Yes, however we have to warn you that zooming in to a fight to this level of detail is likely to make resolving your fights a very slow process indeed!

No.

They do count, and they count towards the enemy's total of wounds caused, just like wounds actually caused by the enemy.

No, as the unit does not count as charging any longer.

No test for 25% losses are ever taken during the combat phase (including odd situations when casualties happen not directly because of combat).

In the Declare Charges part of the Movement phase, first declare all normal charges and charge reactions. Once this is done, measure the ranges to see if Frenzied units must declare a charge and to see if Fear and Terror-causing units are in range of their targets, as these psychology rules may affect the declared charges and charge reactions (see also next question). Once all the charges and charge reactions have been determined, proceed with the Movement phase's normal sequence.

Yes.

Directly away from the Terror-causing creature, as per a test failed at the start of the turn.

They must wait for all the non-frenzied units to have declared charges (including reactions).

As with characters (see "Mounts' psychology" on page 79), the entire model is affected by the psychology rule. This means that both riders and steeds (in case of cavalry), all crew and creatures (in case of chariots) or both the character and the Monster he's riding, gain one Attack from Frenzy, can re-roll their attacks for Hatred, etc. Note also that if a part of such a "multiple" model causes Fear or Terror, or is affected by Stupidity, the entire model does (for example, only the beasts pulling a chariot may be stupid, but if the model fails its test, taken on the crew's leadership, all of the model is affected by Stupidity, including the crew). Note that the Mark of Khorne in the Hordes of Chaos book is an exception to this, as it clearly states that it only confers the extra attack to the rider/crew and not to the mounts/creatures pulling the chariot.

If the screening unit is also declaring a charge (i.e. they intend to get out of the way), then the frenzied unit behind them can, and indeed must, declare a charge as well. If the screening unit does not declare a charge, the frenzied unit behind does not have to declare a charge, as it wouldn't be able to reach the intended target. If the screening unit were not to move far enough to clear the way (because they failed the charge, or if a Fear test stopped them in their tracks, and so on), then the frenzied unit behind them would also fail the charge, stopped by the screening unit getting in the way.

Yes.

Yes. However it will not if armed with a magical weapon and a mundane or magical shield, because the magical weapon loses the normal rules of hand weapons.

Yes, it does.

Against all enemies, even those that might have counter-charged them. This is because in reality the chargers from both sides would be simultaneously running into each other and not moving in turns.

Yes, this is by far the simplest and most intuitive way of resolving this issue.

If this happens, the lance effectively disappears and the character must start using a hand weapon (which he is assumed to carry). Note that this happens even if the character was equipped with a magic lance, which is now lost.

In the extremely unlikely event of a chariot charging more than one enemy unit, the impact hits are distributed as evenly as possible among the units charged, with any odd hits allocated by the player controlling the chariot.

In the same way described for monster riders, the character stops in his tracks where the chariot is destroyed and the charge fails.

Not really, as this manoeuvre would have no effect on them. In the same way, when a fleeing skirmishing unit rallies, there is no need to do anything other than turning its models on the spot so that they face towards the enemy!

In the Move Chargers part of the Movement phase, the player controlling the chargers must decide which unit goes in first against the skirmishers and move it in. The skirmishers are then immediately formed up normally against the first charger. At this point the skirmishers have a front/flank/rear zone, and any other charging enemy must treats the situation just like a charge against a fight that was there from a previous turn.

It seems fair that, in this most rare of circumstances, you are still allowed to charge the skirmishing unit by contacting the nearest visible skirmisher you can reach.

If the skirmishers are fleeing from a combat the situation is easy, as they are treated exactly as a normal ranked up unit. If they aren't, the situation may get a bit more complicated. First, the closest visible skirmisher flees directly away from the centre of the charging unit by the distance rolled. Then, every other fleeing skirmisher is moved by the same distance along the same (parallel) direction as the first, trying to keep the skirmishing unit as much as possible in the same formation, as shown in the diagram below.

Salamanders are not Monsters (their special rules say they have to take Monster reaction tests, but this, like all special rules, is an exception). So Salamander Packs are simply a skirmishing infantry unit. Monsters, by definition, are single large models (like the Hydra).

The rules are clear on the matter – the Monster & Handlers move as Skirmishers so can move freely through difficult terrain, but when charging are slowed as normal.

The rule says "as normal", so the fleeing flyers would not be destroyed and, as normal, would be moved until they're clear of the enemy.

Yes, they are exactly the same.

They remain a unit until their next Movement phase, when they must separate if able to do so (i.e. if they are not fleeing, rallying or subject to another form of compulsory movement). Note that, if they are fleeing, they are allowed to take a single rallying test as normal, as they are still a single unit.

Well, we find that there are two ways people use to solve this issue, and both are equally acceptable: 1) placing the character inside the unit and 2) placing the character next to the unit (in base contact with the flank of the unit's first rank).

Let's look at these two solutions in a bit more detail:

1. Placing the character inside the unit. This works best when the character's base is larger than those of the unit's and is a multiple of them – for example a model mounted on a 40mm square base inside a unit of models with 20mm square bases, or a character on a 50mm square base inside a unit of models with 25mm square bases or a cavalry unit. In these cases, the character will fit in snugly and look and feel 'right'. It will also displace a number of models, which are placed in the rearmost rank as normal.
   
   When working out the unit's rank bonus, the character counts as the same number of models it has displaced (normally four infantrymen or two cavalrymen).
   
   This can also be done if the character's base is smaller than those of the unit he's joining or it does not fit neatly with those of the unit he joins (the most classic case being that of a character mounted on a horse joining an infantry unit with 20mm square bases).
   
   In this case, however, you will have to slightly 'fudge' the unit's formation (that's a technical term, honest!). In other words, just pretend the character's base is the same as the other models in the unit (for foot characters), or equal to a multiple of the bases of the other models in the unit (for mounted or large models joining units of smaller bases...). This will make the formation a little messier, but it's normally quite self-evident.

2. Placing the character next to the unit. This approach is not strictly speaking 'by the rules', but it's very simple (particularly for characters with bases that are different from the models in the unit they're joining) and thus a favourite in friendly games, but we really cannot recommend it in tournaments and other competitive games...
   
   The character is simply placed in base contact with the flank of the unit, facing in the same direction as the rest of the unit and flush with the unit's front. It is treated as 'inside' the unit from all points of view, but the unit's formation is not disrupted by the character's differently-shaped base.
   
   This works fine except if the unit is then charged in the flank where the character is, but with a bit of flexibility, and trying to apply the principles presented in "Close Combat & Incomplete Ranks" on page 36, you should be able to solve this easily.

Common sense would imply that the character counts as moving, but the unit does not.

They will target the character's unit, and if the unit panics and flees, it will take the character with them.

The excess wounds caused are those after the multiplying, so in the example above the combat resolution bonus from overkill would be the full +6.

Characters engaged in a challenge are still in base to base contact with other friendly/enemy models. Thus the challenge participants may be affected by magic items/abilities originating from outside the combat (and vice versa).

Impact hits will affect the unit and not the character as normal if there are more than 5 models in the unit (as described on page 77), but will affect the character if he is the only model left when the chariot charges in. If there are less than 5 models the impact hits are distributed as shooting hits.

No, they cannot, just like the crew of the chariot cannot attack them.

No, the Champion cannot be harmed if he's fighting in a challenge.

No, if the unit he is with is not subject to Fear/Terror, he does not have to test either, as he is with them when the charge is declared.

Well, these situations are not covered by the rules, so we'll make some recommendations for you. If he fails a Fear test, we think it's better if he suffers the effects of the failed test, except that he can stay and move with the unit in the unit moves later in the phase. If he fails a Terror test, we think it's better if he flees on his own and leaves the unit behind.

No, they are characters and not monsters, even though they share some rules with monsters (normally this is limited to the way they move and their inability to join units).

The unit must use the same type of movement (i.e. ground movement or flying movement), so the Black Knights in the example may charge up to 12", as the unit itself cannot fly. I chose this interpretation because the other would have implied having to consider what happens if such unit charged through terrain or, God forbid, through a wood!

At the end of the phase, the monster is moved outside the unit, in base contact with it, as close as possible to the position it was occupying when ridden.

Because the rider and mount can be hit separately, any saves and other special rules of the character (including those from magic items, spells, etc.) are not passed to its mount, and viceversa. There are a few exceptions to this rule however, when such rules do apply to both rider and mount: Psychology rules (see rule book, page 79), rules that the character would confer to a unit it joins (like Magic Resistance), or if the rule itself specifies otherwise (certain magic items, the Blessing of the Lady, etc.).

It is easier if this works the same as the Immune to Psychology rule, so the character would lose the benefits of this rule as long as he stays with the unit.

No, in the same way as if the character was Immune to Psychology, for example.

No, because when the unit is targeted by ranged attacks, they count as Characters and not as rank-and-file models (see the last paragraph on page 81).

You must break it and pursue, in the same way as for capturing their banner.

The machine's crew must line up perpendicularly to the line of the charge, but the chargers can wheel at any point of their charge, as with skirmishers, in order to get a better pursue/overrun path. Diagram 84.1 is just an example of chargers going straight, but they are not obliged to do so.

Yes to both. It is, after all, still an enemy unit.

Yes, the text on page 71 could be read to imply that the warmachine unit (i.e. the gun itself and its crew) have a US of 6. However the intention is that the gun itself has a US of 0, and each remaining crew simply have a US of 1 each. The war machine unit in the example above would therefore have US3. A bolt thrower with one remaining crew, as a further example, would have a US of 1.

When two models with the ASF rule are fighting, they will strike in descending Initiative order, rolling a dice in case of same Initiative. All other factors, such as charging, great weapons, etc., are ignored, because they have already been bypassed by the ASF rule.

Ranged attacks normally target units and not individual models inside units, so the model using the breath weapon simply needs to see the target unit, not every model in the target unit. This is just to stop unscrupulous players to target units they cannot see (maybe by firing through a unit that stands in their way and blocks the view to the target!).

We cannot answer this question with an all-encompassing rule (as a few ruthless individuals out there would be sure to exploit it for their evil schemes!), but in three specific cases we can be more precise: hits from Flame Cannons, Warpfire Throwers and Salamanders' ranged attacks all count as Flaming Attacks.

This scores you a combat resolution score equal to the remaining wounds of the model slain. For example if a Lord level character (W3 on the profile), which had previously suffered a wound during the game, is then killed with a killing blow, it counts as two wounds towards the combat resolution score.

Each subsequent killing blow awards your side the remaining wounds of the model slain, as described above, to a maximum of +6. If the Lord in the example above suffered two killing blow wounds and one normal wound in a challenge, the enemy would score a total of +5 to its combat resolution score.

Yes, as long as no enemies can see them.

Yes, they can.

No. Because to enter the building it must first make a normal move (no march or reform), and then when it leaves it it'll follow the rules for a unit returning from pursuing (which include making a normal move). If it entered and left the building in the same Movement phase, it would effectively move twice (i.e. it would make two normal moves), which is not allowed.

Well there seem to be only one alternative: simply choose/declare the formation when the unit leaves the building for the first time.

Fire the weapon as normal, determining how many hits it would cause normally. Then roll the D6 for the target being inside the building, and the result is the number of the hits caused by the weapon that actually hit the target. Any excess hits are wasted against the walls.

Their 'fire zone' is as wide as the face of the building they are firing from. The hits are Strength 3, +1 for every storey from which another five blunderbusses can fire.

Yes, before re-rolls, unless a special rule specifies differently.

This is normally specified in the item's description, but if there is any doubt the following applies: The unused dice that can be stored at the end of the magic phase are those of the wizard himself and those of the pool. In the following magic phase, all stored dice go back into the pool.

Of course. The only exception to normal dispelling is that power dice are used as dispel dice.

Yes, bound spells can be cast this way, as can Tomb King Incantantations, and so on.

'All spells in play' covers all spell, including those that are not technically 'Remains in play', but have effects lasting a certain amount of turns.

No, these bonuses are not cumulative (as these spell add their bonuses to the model's base Characteristic), so there is no point in casting multiples of them.

The answer has to be 'yes, distributed as shooting', otherwise we'd be opening Pandora's Box. Following the same spirit, we recommend to first calculate the entire number of hits and then roll to wound for the entire lot.

The spell hits the multiple-part model, and then the hit must be randomised amongst the different 'parts'. It can be targeted at a model engaged in combat.

It causes a single wound.

Yes, we think that's reasonable.

This may seem counter-intuitive, but the letter of the law says that the answer is 'no', as the Wizard does not have Line of Sight to his own unit.

Yes.

Yes, as the spell is not cast 'at' any specific target, but it affects all friendly units within 12".

Yes, all spells and war machines can penetrate the Howler Wind's protection.

Yes to both. The text is actually quite clear.

The magic weapon is lost and the character will fight with a normal hand weapon (which no sensible warrior would ever leave at home).

Yes to both, as casting a bound spell is just the same as casting a normal spell.

We assume that the word 'missiles' includes all attacks executed in the Shooting phase as well as spells that are labelled as 'magic missiles'.

One at a time. Keep in mind that 'Fast Dice Rolling' is just a suggestion to speed up the game, not a rule.

No, you need one non-ambushing unit for each ambushing unit.

Before deployment, decide which units will be ambushing. Place these units to one side, telling your opponent that they are your ambushing units. Then deploy your non-ambushing units, following the rules for the scenario being played. Your ambushing units are not included in the deployment procedure.

No.

Yes.

The player whose turn is taking place chooses.

None.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Randomise the wounds suffered as you would for shooting attacks.

Yes.

No.

No.

No.

Put the model back into his original unit.

The combat is a draw.

Yes, even though these Wounds may be caused to another unit the damage caused by the Giant won't have gone unnoticed by its enemies! Note that if the unit struck by the hurled model is in a separate combat then any Wounds caused won't count towards that combat's result.

As many Wounds as the model had on its profile.

It is 2D6 separate Wounds.

No.

Nothing happens.

The model is counted as slain.

None.

Yes.

As if it were a Shooting attack.

No. They come from the Hero or Lord allowance, depending on the character.

Yes, he can take Gifts of Chaos as normal, up to a total value of 50 points. On top of that, he can have a Magic Banner with no points limit.

No.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

The Ld value of the ‘part’ that has been attacked if it’s possible to attack it separately (e.g. if I attack the Hero riding the Pegasus, I’ll use his Ld, while if I attack the Pegasus, I’ll use its Ld), or the highest Ld available if attacks are randomised or hit the model as a whole.

No.

Yes.

The wielder only gains a single bonus attack.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

No. It means that it ignores any Panic caused only by friendly units with the Peasant's Duty.

No. The unit with the Peasant's Duty simply gets to use the Knight's own Leadership, as the Knights get to use the General's leadership, but they do not change their own leadership.

First both players deploy their armies. Then they both hide a dice under their palm - if they wish to pray, the dice must show a 6, if they do not wish to pray, it must show a 1. The dice are then revealed. If both players wish to pray, they both get the Blessing and then the game continues as normal (roll to see who goes first). If both players do not wish to pray, neither army gets the Blessing and then the game continues as normal (roll to see who goes first). If one of them wishes to pray and the other does not, the praying army gets the Blessing and the other (obviously the 'bad guys'!) does not get the Blessing, but gets to choose whether to go first or second.

No, they do not need to test. They are considered to be Immune to Psychology when declaring the charge as well.

220 points, which makes Leoncoeur 508 points.

Yes!

Although ranks are determined at the start of the combat round, the effect of the Standard is only calculated at the end - if the Standard Bearer is slain, the enemy still physically had ranks at the start of turn, so they gain their normal rank bonus.

The bearer will generate the extra power dice but they cannot be used (by anyone) to cast spells. Note, however, that the extra power dice could be used to dispel active enemy Remains in Play spells.

No. The mount simply gets the normal Blessing saves.

The rider only.

No. Otherwise the words "Knights unit only" would be pointless (as only units of Knights and the Army Battle Standard Bearer can carry magic banners).

Yes.

No. Characters can never join a flying unit.

Yes.

No. Flying cavalry moving on the ground are limited by terrain as normal.

No. As they are skirmishers, they never truly 'form up into ranks'.

As the Chaos Dwarfs army list was developed in conjunction with Warhammer 6th edition, use the points costs for the common magic items listed in the 6th edition Rulebook. For those players who are new to the game with 7th edition, the points costs are as follows:

• Sword of Striking - 30 pts

• Sword of Battle - 25 pts

• Sword of Might - 20 pts

• Biting Blade - 10 pts

• Enchanted Shield - 10 pts

• Talisman of Protection - 15 pts

• Dispel Scroll - 25 pts\

• Power Stone - 25 pts

• Staff of Sorcery - 50 pts

• War Banner - 25pts

Ignore all the references to "Lapping Around". "Lapping Around" was a main rule from Warhammer 6th edition and it no longer applies.

P.33: Hobgoblin Bolt Thrower entry. Change the Unit Size rule from "1 War machine with 3 crew" to "1 war machine with 2 Hobgoblin crew".

Yes. The Earthshaker's description states "Any troops within this distance in inches from the centre of the template move at half rate in their next turn...". No exceptions for flyers are noted.

No. Chaos Dwarfs are a separate race from Dwarfs and do not benefit from these special rules.

Yes. In US White Dwarf #250 on page 11 it states:

Ravening Hordes - Chaos Dwarfs

The new Orc & Goblins Army book completely replaces the list in Ravening Hordes. However, dedicated Orc & Goblin armies are not the only ones to employ the Greenskins in battle. The Chaos Dwarfs also use them and, as the complete rules are now out, it will be good to use them for the Chaos Dwarf's slave troops, too. To do this you'll obviously need both Ravening Hordes and the new Orc & Goblins book. The following changes bring the list up to date:

• Replace the Special unit entries in Ravening Hordes for the Orc Boyz, Goblins and Black Orcs with the following army list entries from the Orc & Goblin Armies book: Goblins, Orc Boyz, Orc Arrer Boyz, and 0-1 units of Black Orcs. Orc Boyz may be upgraded to Big'Uns as per the normal rules in the book. All these units count as Special units in the Chaos Dwarf army.

• Delete special rule 5 about Orcs ignoring panicking Gobbos (this is replaced by the full rules from the book)

• Troops described in the Orc & Goblin book follow the rules there rather than the shorthand versions in Ravening Hordes.

• Hobgoblins suffer Animosity just as a unit of Goblins would in the Orc & Goblin book. This replaces the animosity rule in Ravening Hordes (special rule 3).

No they may not. Greenskins in a Chaos Dwarf army are not part of a free Orc and Goblin Waaagh!, they are slaves and do not have access to the magic banners in the Orcs & Goblins book. Note however that due to the White Dwarf update (see Q&A above) a unit of Orc Big 'Uns and Black Orcs may carry the magic banners available to the Chaos Dwarf army (e.g. The War Banner and The Banner of Slavery).

Yes. As a Bull Centaur is US2 it is not immune to Killing Blow.

Bull Centaurs are cavalry in all respects except they use equipment as if they were infantry and gain no armour save bonus for being mounted.

P.32: Blunderbuss rules. The last two sentences should be changed from "Hits are resolved at S3 if firing in 1 rank, S4 if firing in 2 ranks and S5 if in 3 or more ranks. Ranks must be complete to count." to "Hits are resolved as S3 plus 1 per extra rank up to S5. Ranks count if at least 4 wide. A single character in the front rank will not effect the unit's fire."

The rules are applied exactly as with any other unit. If the chargers start within 12" then any models within 12" may be hit. If the chargers are outside 12", the charging unit is stopped at maximum range as normal, and so in this case only the front rank of the charging unit will be in the zone of fire.

Yes, as no exceptions to the main rulebook requirements for these items are listed in the Blunderbuss special rules. Note however that all enemy models caught in a Blunderbuss unit's 'fire zone' will be hit as normal, regardless of whether or not they belong to a enemy unit which the Blunderbuss unit has LoS to.

Yes.

No.

No.

Their 'fire zone' is as wide as the face of the building they are firing from. The hits are Strength 3, +1 for every storey from which another five blunderbusses can fire.

It does indeed, although it should perhaps be referred to as Insane Stability for clarity. So if a daemonic unit rolls a double 1 for its Break test, it will not suffer any additional wounds.

Remember that combat resolution adds to the dice roll, rather than being subtracted by from Leadership. As a result, there is no upper limit on the number of casualties that can be caused this way. For example, if a unit of Bloodletters loses a combat by 12 and rolls a 5 for its Leadership test, it would suffer 10 wounds as follows: 5 (dice roll) + 12 (combat resolution modifier) - 7 (Leadership) = 10 wounds suffered.

No, they are characters and not monsters, even though they share some of the same rules with monsters (normally this is limited to the way they move, their inability to join units and their unit strength).

As they are not defined as Heralds, yes they may join friendly units with a

Yes, the Locus abilities are not magic items and are thus not negated by refusing a challenge.

Yes, they're even given as an example in the Flaming attacks rule in the Warhammer rulebook.

Yes.

As panic tests for suffering 25%+ casualties are taken at the end of the phase in which they are suffered, the enemy unit would flee directly away from the final position of the Screamers of Tzeentch.

Beasts of Nurgle and Fiends of Slaanesh are infantry, have a Unit Strength of 3 per model, and thus can enter buildings as normal.

Gifts should be considered 'hidden' in the same manner as Bretonnian Virtues, Vampiric Powers, Wood Elf Spites, etc. are considered 'hidden'.

Yes, as gifts are explicitly not magic items they are still in effect.

Daemonic Gifts are unlike magic items in that they reflect a particular ability of the Daemon in question, rather than something that it carries. This is normally described in a manner that our weak mortal minds can comprehend - as swords, amour and staves, for example but the actual form the gift takes can vary, often minute by minute, according to the will of the Chaos gods. This means that differing bonuses - +2 Strength of the flail and D6 Wounds of the Balesword - stack for a greater effect. Conversely, where there are two bonuses of the same type (e.g. armour save 5+ and armour save 3+) the Daemon simply benefits from the more powerful ability.

There's small paragraph at the start of the Daemonic Gifts section that clearly states that a Daemon may not take mulitples of the same gift. In examples where a Daemon could, say, take two kinds of armour, remember that the save produced does not stack - nowhere does this happen in Warhammer except when specified clearly - simply use the best save.

Yes, in such an instance the daemon benefits from an additional attack as the bonus provided by a second hand weapon (+1 attack for models fighting on foot) differs from the bonus provided by the first hand weapon.

No. It only forces Toughness tests when the wound is unsaved by the Daemon.

Yes. The wording of Pestilent Mucus does not include any restrictions or qualifying language regarding the source of the wounds.

Daemonic Robes only works against attacks that roll to wound. As something that wounds automatically does not roll to wound, the Robes offer no protection.

No. Friendly units only.

He may neither issue nor accept a challenge - he has other priorities now. In the spirit of the rules, we should perhaps allow him to issue a challenge against another character in his own unit, but this seems a little unfair so we are not going to.

Yes, indeed. Remember that the unit must be able to charge - if the target unit cannot reach because the Siren Song using Daemon is out of its charge range, the ability does not work and is wasted. Accordingly, servants of Slaanesh should be very careful about using the gift on units with random charge ranges.

These units must charge, as they can never voluntarily flee.

Yes, treat the Flames of Tzeentch gift as Flaming attacks.

Lores from the Warhammer rulebook only.

Once a model is no longer in base contact with the Daemon, it cannot be affected by Noxious Vapours.

Units take Leadership test on the best available Leadership in the unit. Thus, in a situation where all of a unit is not in base to base contact with a Daemon with Enrapturing Gaze, the unit may use its unmodified Leadership.

A Herald of Nurgle is not a large target, but players should treat him as if he is one for purposes of these abilities (granting him the ability to see all of the target models in an enemy unit). Therefore, he may use the breath weapon abilities on enemy units as normal.

This ability should be resolved simultaneously with impact hits - remember that any wounds caused do count towards combat resolution.

No there is no limit. The T5 / T6 of the models involved should limit the amount of times the wounding cycle occurs.

The Daemonic Gifts of Dark Insanity and Awesome Strength are inherent properties of the possessing Daemon and thus modify the related characteristic of the possessing Daemon prior to the game. Thus if a magic item / special ability swaps characteristics with the Daemon it will be the modified characteristic (2D6+2 Attacks / S10) which is swapped.

Daemonic icons are classified as magic items with the exceptions that they are immune to any spells or abilities that destroy, steal, or otherwise alter the behavior of magic items, and you may have multiples of the same Daemonic Icon in an army. Note that multiples of the same Daemonic Icon may not be taken for a single Daemon.

No. As noted in the Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ, Daemonic Icons are treated as magic items with the exceptions noted above. An exception to allow the use of a Daemonic Icon from rear ranks does not exist.

No, as they are not spell lores in the conventional manner.

For the purposes of The Great Standard of Sundering, these spells are considered to not be part of any spell lore, and so therefore cannot be affected.

Yes.

If the defending unit declares a stand & shoot reaction, prior to resolving the shots the charge should be measured to see if it is within range. If the charge is within range, the stand & shoot reaction is automatically changed to a hold reaction.

The effective Leadership of the unit would be a 7 in such a case. The enemy unit is first allowed to increase its leadership value to that of the General and that leadership value is then reduced by 2.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

The target of the spell is the caster.

This effectively creates a mixed unit of rank and file models such as a Beast Herd. Treat the allocation of attacks and removal of casualties accordingly.

No. Models with a special form of attack, execute that special form of attack as normal.

It only affects models in base to base contact with the caster at the start of each combat.

There is no conflict between the spells in these cases. The enemy model will have its WS, S, T, I and A characteristics reduced to 1 and then the stat increases from spell will be applied. So in the case of The Bear's Anger the enemy model will be WS1 S3 T2 I1 A4 and in the case of the Flaming Sword of Rhuin the enemy model will be WS1 S4 T1 I1 A2.

Glean Magic affects only the spells a Wizard knows. If that Wizard has innate bound spells, Glean Magic can use them. Any spells that are bound to items may not be used. Glean Magic does not affect Incantations (i.e. the spell may not be used to cast an Incantation).

No. If you want to stop the second spell you must stop Glean Magic.

Yes.

5 (not 4).

Yes they are.

He is US 10 - ignore the Palanquin's unit strength in this case.

No. Treat each head as a separate wizard for purposes of RiP spells.

If the head casting a spell loses a level due to a miscast or other means; only the head casting at the time loses a spell. As the model as a whole loses a level, it would however reduce the number of power dice generated.

Select one of the heads (i.e. one of the wizards) to steal a spell from.

No. Necrotic Missiles have no minimum guess range.

No.

The Changeling should be treated as a unit champion for a unit of Pink Horrors. He is not a Herald and he does count towards the number of models used to determine the unit's magic level.

In situation where the Changeling wishes to swap stats with a single enemy model consisting of multiple parts he can choose to swap a mix different stats (i.e. the best from each part).

Yes it can.

The Speculum must be used first.

The Speculum must be used first. The Empire character may choose to swap stats with the Changeling, then the Changeling may choose to swap stats with his challenger or a model from outside the challenge.

No, the attack must still hit for the poison to take effect.

No, the bonus does not apply to bound spells.

Give the general's leadership to the unit, then subtract D3. So with a leadership 9 general, the unit would have an effective leadership of 6-8, depending upon the roll.

Yes it can.

The Changeling is an upgrade, so he replaces a Pink Horror and his cost is added to that of the model he replaces (i.e. the total cost is 72 points). The minimum number of models remains the same - 10.

Karanak is an upgrade, so he replaces a Flesh Hound and his cost is added to that of the model he replaces (i.e. the total cost is 110 points). The minimum number of models remains the same - 5.

The multiple shots paragraph on page 55 of the Warhammer rulebook was not clear, so it has been changed by Errata. All references to 'the Shooting phase' have been removed, so it is now clear you can use multiple shots during a stand & shoot reaction.

Yes, it does count as Hatred (we thought that the name 'Eternal Hatred' was a bit of a giveaway). In other words, it's exactly the same as Hatred, except that the re-rolling effect is not only limited to the first turn of combat.

Yes, one test per Breath attacks that inflicts casualties.

They do confer an extra Attack, and armour piercing on all attacks, so the Beastmasters have 3 Attacks each, all of them armour piercing.

Only by creatures with three or more arms!The answer is 'obviously not'. We decided not to bin this question as a non-question just to use it as a perfect example of the way we don't like our games to be played. Trying to assume that a warrior is fighting with a normal sword, the Dagger of Hotek and a Beastmaster Scourge all at the same time it's so absurd that it denotes a very wrong attitude towards the game (i.e. too extreme application of Rules As Written against all common sense).

Yes it is, in the same way as a war machine.

Well, to avoid all sort of complications, we recommend that Khainite crew stick to Cauldrons of Blood only and that bolt thrower crew stick to Bolt Throwers only. No intermingling. It's a religious thing. Honest.

They are not unique, so other models in the army can carry them. That's, however, where the similarity between them and Dispel Scrolls ends. For example, a model cannot have Null Talismans and another Talisman, nor do they crumble to dust after use...

The effects are cumulative on the model, but if several models with MR are in a unit, the unit uses the best MR available. In the above example, the unit has a MR of 1.

Neither of these are affected by the Ring of Hotek, as such spells are not 'targeted' at any specific point before being cast.

No, it doesn't. Its profile is quite clear.

No, they do not.

No, a 1 is always a success. The '6 always fails' simply replaces the normal '1 always fails'.

No, it does not.

Yes, this is possible (and rather funky!), but only as long as the building is not occupied by enemy models.

Until the beginning of the owner's next Magic phase.

It simply has no duration, so it works only on that one shot.

Roll for the number of attacks and then allocate the ones you are allowed against characters/champions (as per close combat attacks). Any attacks not allocated against characters/champions are then randomised as per shooting (and yes, this might result in these attacks targeting the characters/champions again). For simplicity's sake, we recommend treating them as ranged attacks from that point onwards – so that they are 'close combat attacks' only from the point of view that some can be allocated against specific models and that they roll to hit against the WS of the model they attack.

Manbane raises the model's own Strength, then any other modifiers are applied. Therefore, in the example above, the Assassin's stars would have Strength 7.

One roll per wound suffered.

For the sake of simplicity, we define 'the Hag's unit' as the unit she is with at deployment. This unit will benefit from the effects of the brew. If the Death Hag or Hellebron are not deployed in a unit, the brew will only affect them (and not any unit they subsequently join). If Hellebron is deployed on her Manticore, the Manticore and Hellebron are both affected by the brew.

Yes, they do. Ouch!

No she cannot. She better make sure she has an easy spell left to cast or suffer the consequences.

No, until he is revealed he may not do anything.

Yes, he does get the effects of Hatred, as that is his 'first round of combat'.

A creative use of an Assassin, but a legal one nevertheless... sneaky!

Yes, exactly.

Yes and yes. In fact she's ever more haggy than a Hag!

Yes, they can, just like Hags in Witch Elf units.

The Poisoned Attacks rule is there to cover Shadowblade's throwing stars. His hand weapons are coated in Dark Venom instead (so they don't have the Poisoned Attacks rule).

We decided not to Errata this one because it's more entertaining if her beauty affects friends as well as enemies. And also because it will happen so very rarely, as she is normally riding Sulephet (which, by the way, is immune to her charms).

No, only the unit's own value is doubled, before any bonus points are applied.

No.

No, you can't field these types of Dogs of War characters unless you're a Dogs of War army.

As named standard bearers from Regiments of Renown are classified as characters they should be handled as Battle Standard Bearers in terms of capturing / losing banners.

No. The Warhammer Design Team has specifically stated that impact hits always happen before everything else in a combat, unless specifically noted otherwise. Therefore chariot impact hits qualify as a being "entitled to strike first because of a special ability" which per the rules for pikes "will still strike before pike-armed models."

Provided the unit has enough ranks, four ranks if the unit was stationary or three ranks if the unit charged that turn as is outlined in the Fight In Ranks section of the Warhammer Rulebook. Note that in cases where a pikemen unit consists of three ranks or less, all the ranks will fight when engaged with an enemy unit to their front, regardless of whether the unit was stationary or charged that turn.

No. The reference in the Paymaster's rules directs players to treat the keys to the pay chest like a Battle Standard. Note that nowhere in the Rulebook does it state that a Battle Standard Bearer is entitled to carry a magic banner. It is the existing army books which explicitly state that Battle Standard Bearers may carry magic banners. The Paymaster is not explicitly given the ability to carry a magic banner in the Dogs of War army list, therefore, he may not.

The intention of the rules is that no, Undead units cannot be joined by non-Undead characters and vice versa.

Since the "Festooned With Pistols" special rule for the unit states they "gain an additional attack because they are fighting with a pistol in each hand", you should add 1 to the Attacks value in the displayed statline. Thus, Long Drong has 3+1=4 Attacks and each Pirate has 1+1=2 Attacks.

The Festooned with Pistols rule explicitly grants the unit S4 & armour piercing to all of the unit's attacks. Thus the unit has S4 armour piercing attacks in close combat.

Yes. the Slayer Pirates have "two or more pistols" and thus may fire 2x multiple shots with their pistols in the Shooting phase.

Yes, all of the Dwarf special rules (Ancestral Grudge, Relentless, and Resolute) apply to Dwarf Dogs of War.

Yes, 3+ Scaly Skin save like most Dragons.

Asarnil is worth 130 VPs, his Dragon is worth 330 VPs.

No only the leader counts (Asarnil and Hengist), in the cases you mentioned.

No.

Certainly not!

No. While Dwarfs may march even if there are enemies normally close enough to inhibit march moves due to their Relentless rule, they follow the other restrictions on marching such as not being able march through difficult terrain, etc.

Yes. Thanes are not of Royal Blood. See the entry for Thanes on page 51 of the Dwarf Army Book.

Yes.

Yes, Dwarf Engineers are unit champions and champions cannot separate themselves from their unit. Therefore they count as members of the crew for purposes of Misfires, allocating hits from shooting, etc.

In the Shooting phase, only a Master Engineer acting as additional crew (i.e. actually manning the gun due to the loss of other crew members) counts as crew for purposes of Misfires. The rest of the time (including when using his Artillery Master ability) a Master Engineer is played like any other character joined to a war machine unit; that is, he does not actually become crew per the rulebook.

Usually the answer to this question is No. The Dwarf army book states "In the Movement phase of the turn when they arrive, Miners can enter the battlefield from any table edge and will be treated exactly like a unit that has pursued an enemy off the table in the previous turn (see the Warhammer rulebook)." Page 43 of the Warhammer rulebook under 'Pursuit Off The Table' states: "The unit may NOT charge, as it has missed its opportunity to declare charges, but may move normally, and may not march, but can otherwise participate in the game as normal." Note that it is possible for a Miner unit to charge on the Turn it arrives if the Miner unit is granted the ability to charge in the Shooting phase via the Rune of Oath & Honour from the Anvil of Doom.

Yes. The Stonebearer unit has no flank or rear after the Oath Stone has been set. Thus they are considered to be fighting any and all enemies from their front and they may benefit from the bonus.

No. The rules for Killing Blow clearly state that the only criteria for single models not mounted on monsters or in chariots is a Unit Strength of 2 or less. A Dwarf Lord on Shieldbearers is a single US3 model and is thus immune.

A Dwarf Lord on Shieldbearers does not count as a mounted model per the definition of mounted models (cavalry and models riding monsters or chariots) stated in the Weapons rules in the Rulebook. Thus he gains the standard +2 Strength when using a great weapon.

Yes, as the Anvil of Doom is classified as a war machine, a Master Engineer may entrench it.

All shooting hits fall amongst the Dwarfs. The protection offered by the Anvil is taken into account by the 4+ ward save granted to the Dwarfs against missiles.

No, as long as there is at least one remaining crew (including the Runelord), the Anvil of Doom has a unit strength of 5.

Yes. Enemy units affected by the Ancient Power of the Rune of Wrath & Ruin also suffer movement penalties.

Yes. The enemy is definitely allowed to make a charge reaction against the Rune of Oath and Honour. The exact text states "A single friendly Dwarf unit (but not a Gyrocopter) may make a NORMAL move (which can be a March or Charge) in the Shooting phase." A normal charge certainly allows a charge reaction and nowhere in the description of the Rune of Oath and Honour does it state that the enemy may not make a reaction / may only hold.

No. Nowhere in the Rune of Wrath & Ruin does it state that casualties must be caused in order for the movement penalty to be applied. The Rune lists the two affects that the enemy unit suffers from - one which is the D6 S4 hits and the second is the movement penalty. Nowhere in the description are either made contingent on the other.

S10.

As noted in the description of the Slayer skill, Slayers' Strength is only increased after modifications for weapons. In this situation, the Slayer's Strength will only be increased if his doubled Strength is still less than that of his opponent's Toughness (which is unlikely since that would mean the opponent's Toughness was 9 or 10!)

Yes, there is no rule that restricts Master Runes to the Army Battle Standard.

The Rune comes into play when an enemy unit declares a charge on a Dwarf unit containing a standard with this Rune. 1) The Dwarf player rolls a D6 and this is subtracted from the attacking players charge distance. 2) The distance is measured to see if the charge is successful. If the charge is successful then play continues as normal. 3) If the charge is not successful, then it counts a failed charge and the unit moves its normal move. However, keep in mind the general rule that units must stay at least 1 inch apart - this means that if the charging unit's normal move is far enough that it would contact the Dwarfs anyway, then you stop the chargers 1 inch away from the Dwarf unit.

Yes. Use of this combination is allowed. Note that the Master Rune of Challenge states 'The unit must be able to charge and reach the rune user or the unit he is with according to the normal rules.' Note the term 'according to the normal rules' means that the normal charge distance would be measured to determine if the Master Rune of Challenge was useable and the Rune of Slowness would not apply until after the charge was declared.

No to all of the above.

It modifies the basic strength of the hits to S5, thus the double strength hit(s) would be S10.

Yes.

Yes.

No, the rune just overrides the rules slowing down the machine's rate of fire caused by the machine's own misfire results and the loss of crew.

Rangers are not Warriors, so an army with Rangers in it must still include a unit of Warriors before it can field an unit of Longbeards.

A Dwarf handgun.

Yes.

If a Giant Slayer is the original Standard Bearer (or musician) then only another Giant Slayer may pick up the standard (or musical instrument). As Troll Slayers are a separate model type they are ineligible to pick up the standard (or musical instrument).

While wounds against Champions do not carry over into the rest of the unit, wounds may carry over from a Champion to other Champion models if there is more than one Champion in the unit (as Champions are just another type of RnF model, albeit with slightly enhanced stats and abilities) as can be the case with mixed Giant Slayer / Troll Slayer regiments. Thus, when declaring attacks against models in base-to-base contact, it is only necessary to declare which attacks are being directed toward the Giant Slayers and which, if any, are going toward the Troll Slayers. Wounds taken by the Giant Slayers in excess of those in base-to-base contact will carry over to other Giant Slayers in the unit unless all have been killed. Any wounds in excess of the number of actual Giant Slayers in the unit at the time the wounds are inflicted will not carry over to the Troll Slayers and are lost. This works a bit differently in regards to attacks directed toward Troll Slayers as if enough wounds are done to kill all of the normal rank and file (i.e. Troll Slayers), the rules specify that any excess wounds do carry over onto Champions (in this case, the Giant Slayers).

Yes. Since hits are allocated before wounds, there have to be enough potential Troll Slayer candidates to actually accept the hits in place of their Giant Slayer brethren. If there are not enough Troll Slayers, then the remaining Giant Slayers are hit and cannot benefit from the 'Look Out, Sir!' rule.

Yes, as he is a Dwarf Lord.

Yes, as he is a Runelord.

Thorek and his Anvil are one Lord and one Hero slot.

You must use the profiles, points costs, equipment options, special rules, etc. exactly as found in the Storm of Chaos book. Note that references to "Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs, page 7" should be updated to read "Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs, page 33." Also note that NO characters or units in the Slayer Army of Karak Kadrin have the special rule of "Slayer Axes" and thus they do not benefit from it. In addition, note that any references to "runic Weapons lists" should be changed to "Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs, page 44" and any references to "runic Standards list" should be changed to "Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs, pages 45-46".

The player must choose whether to use Strollaz's Rune OR the Look, Snorri, Trolls! rule...not both!

No. It states in his rules that he is a Dwarf Engineer. He is not listed as a Master Engineer.

No. A countercharge is still a form of a charge, and models with the Always Strikes First special rule strike before chargers.

It depends on the wording of the spell in question because a countercharge is a reaction normally allowed for Empire Detachments. If the spell allows the enemy to react to charges "as normal" (e.g. Unseen Lurker from the Lore of Shadows), then countercharges are allowed. If the spell does not allow normal charge reactions then countercharges are not allowed.

No. Prayers of Sigmar work exactly like bound spells. Thus, whenever an Arch Lector casts a prayer, it forces any previous Remains in Play prayer cast by the Arch Lector to be automatically dispelled.

Yes. The Hammer of Sigmar prayer does NOT limit the re-rolls to attacks in close combat.

No. It only works on the Engineer himself.

No.

Yes. The martyr effects do not follow the normal rules for hatred and may be renewed at the beginning of each round of close combat.

Yes. His Prayers are not considered to be a bound spell item.

Yes.

No. Only one War Altar exists. The Empire army book includes several references stating that there is only one War Altar, including "...the Grand Theogonist may despatch ONE of his Arch Lectors to do battle from the back of the War Altar."

No. No rules exist for the removal of chariots due to loss of crew / characters, thus the War Altar remains on the battlefield and operates normally (just like any other chariot).

The Empire army book states that the Lore of Light spell is cast by the Arch Lector, thus it would indeed force any Remains in Play prayers (which work exactly like bound spells) cast by the Arch Lector to be dispelled. Therefore, it is best to cast the spell from the Golden Griffon prior to using the Arch Lector's prayers.

No. The Steam Tank is classified as a War Machine. The Victory Points rules clearly state that War Machines never surrender half Victory Points.

The best way to do this is to mount the Steam Tank on a chariot base (50mm wide x 100mm long).

Yes, as normal for impact hits.

The controlling player chooses one of the units the Steam Tank is in contact with, and all impact hits are allocated onto this unit.

No. In order to be able to pivot, it needs to have expended at least one Steam Point on movement.

No. Only spells with a given Strength may affect the Steam Tank. As the Pit of Shades forces affected models to take an Initiative test, it is ignored by the Steam Tank.

Yes, as it is a Large Target.

Simply translate 'Structure Points' into 'Wounds'.

Yes - its Movement is reduced to one and a half inches per Steam Point used.

No. The term "Enemy" in context of a challenge is normally interpreted as an enemy character (or champion) who is actually eligible to participate in a challenge. "

Yes. The unit with the Banner of the Daemonslayer does not begin to cause fear until it is found to be within charge range of the enemy. Measurement of that range does not take place until after the unit has passed the fear test to declare the charge.

They are under the control of the player that used the Casket, but then at the beginning of each of their successive turns, they must take a Leadership test to see if they crumble to dust (for every point they fail the Leadership test by they suffer one wound) as there is no Undead General supporting them.

Yes. The Incantations are released at power level 2D6 for one stolen from a Priest, 3D6 for one stolen from a High Priest, or D6 for one stolen from a Tomb Prince or Tomb King.

When spells are selected at the beginning of the game.

When two models with the ASF rule are fighting, they will strike in descending Initiative order, rolling a dice in case of same Initiative. All other factors, such as charging, great weapons, etc. are ignored, because they have been bypassed by the ASF rule.

No. Lion Cloaks only provide protection against 'shooting attacks'. While magic missiles and other forms of direct damage magic may follow some of the shooting rules for target selection, randomization of hits, etc. they are not defined as 'shooting'.

230 Victory Points. The Dragon Mage himself is 120 pionts plus any upgrades and magic items.

Base sizes of both 50mm square and 50mm wide by 100mm deep are acceptable for Sun / Moon / Star Dragons.

They are immune to the entire attack. The rules are clear, and obviously the alchemical reason for this is that the armour repels both the element of fire and the vessel that is imbued with it.

No as they don't have a casting value.

The enemy would need a 14 - Drain Magic does make Remains in Play spells more difficult to dispel, as it raises their casting value. When Drain Magic stops working, however, the Remains in Play spells revert to their original casting value.

+3 following the answer above. Such a spell would be more difficult to dispel, as it would have a higher casting value.

No, as the spell does not directly affect any enemy model.

He may not use High Magic. He's more of a warrior than a mage.

0+. He does not count Malhandir's barding, but he is still mounted (and thus entitled to the +1 Armour Save bonus). The Dragon Armour of Aenarion grants him a 1+ armor save but it doesn't say it cannot be modified further.

As Malhandir is now a one wound cavalry mount, the proper size is a 25mm wide by 50mm deep base (i.e. a cavalry base).

Yes, he is the High Loremaster of Hoeth.

Yes, the Phoenix Blade was corrected via errata to count as a Halberd (and thus confer +1S to Caradryan).

The text of the item provides no guidance to answer this question, thus you would be required to D6 for it each time per 'The Most Important Rule'.

The text of the item provides no guidance to answer this question, thus you would be required to D6 for it each time per 'The Most Important Rule'.

No (it does not have the 'multiple shots' rule) and no (it can only fire three times in the Shooting phase).

Remember a dice can only be re-rolled once, so the two never interact at all.In other words, the Pendant forces you to re-roll successful rolls and Kraggi allow you to re-roll a failed roll, but in both cases you cannot then re-roll the second result. Thus if Thorek's initial strike against the anvil is successful, the Pendant of Vengeance may be used to force him to re-roll the strike. Kraggi's re-roll will be ignored in this instance. If Thorek's initial strike against the anvil is unsuccessful, Kraggi's re-roll may be used and the Pendant of Vengeance will be ignored in this instance.

No, partial hits are always resolved at 4+.

The FAQ Council is in agreement that the intention of this item is to allow the bearer to re-roll all unsuccessful rolls to hit / wound.He is not forced to re-roll successful rolls to hit / wound.

The Standard of Balance removes hatred and frenzy "in the same way as a unit that has already fought and lost a round of combat".Therefore, hatred is lost until the next "first round of combat" as normal and frenzy is lost permanently, as it is not normally regained after a round of combat has been lost.

As the Kroxigor are listed as upgrades, no. The first 10 models must be Skinks.

OK, this is how we do it. The first thing to do is determine whether the initial model hit is a Skink or a Kroxigor, as explained in the Kroxigor bestiary entry. Once you've done that you'll need to randomise which of that type of model is hit if there is more than one in the rank, and then you can work your way through, hitting the model directly behind if a model is killed. For example, take a look at the mixed unit of Skinks and Kroxigors shown on page 41 of the Lizardmen army book. If the first model hit was a Skink, then randomise which of the first rank was hit. If it was the one on the extreme left and he was killed, the bolt would pass through to hit the Skink behind him. If you randomised the second Skink from the left, and he was killed, then the bolt would strike the Kroxigor behind him. If the roll to determine which type of model is hit first results in a Kroxigor being hit, then work your way back from the first Kroxigor in the bolt's path. In the example in the army book, this means a Skink in the first rank was fortunate enough not to be hit, and the bolt will hit a randomly determined Kroxigor and potentially carry on through the unit.

I'd say that Kroxigors work under the same rules as Fear-causing characters inside units of non-Fear-causing models (see the main rulebook), and that only the US of Kroxigors is counted when working out whether the unit is outnumbered or not.

Yes, it's just that the Temple Guard can only attend one Slann at a time. If you have only one unit of Temple Guard and two Slann, one will have to move around on his own or join another unit.

Only when he's in a unit of Temple Guard. Firstly, the rule appears in the Temple Guard rules, and secondly, it's described as the Slann rising up, above the Temple Guard to cast his spell and then sinking back down again, which he couldn't do if he was on his own.

Yes, treat it exactly like a shooting attack.

So long as they pass over another enemy unit, why not!

Yes, this is an exception to the normal rules.

No – only the first hit wounds automatically. If that model is slain then roll To Wound the next as normal.

It's definitely best to treat it as a war machine, so no stand and shoot, no using a character's BS, and so on.

No. Although the Engine of the Gods can only be used so long as the Priest is alive, it isn't any sort of magic item, and it's not him that's casting the spells.

Until another of the Engine of the God's powers is used or the Priest or Ancient Stegadon is killed.

Yes – the attacks are made by a great big magical doomsday machine of the gods!

No – the attack isn't described as a breath weapon attack.

If you roll a misfire on either of the dice, no shots are fired and the unit loses D3 Skinks. If both roll a misfire, no shots are fired and the unit loses 2D3 Skinks instead.

According to the main rules, if a charging enemy turns out to be too close for the unit being charged to stand and shoot, it can only make a hold reaction.

Unit Strength 3, which, means that missile fire at the unit does not suffer a -1 to hit penalty.

We reckon the best way to handle this is to randomise which of the levels is gleaned.

Yes.

Resolve it as a shooting attack.

Chakax strikes first.

When he joins a unit of Skinks, they enjoy the same rule as Temple Guard. We suggest mounting him on a 40mm base.

Yes.

Four.

Unmodified means unmodified, so the test is always made on the target's (unmodified!) leadership.

It fires a blast of blinding magical light, which sounds pretty magical to us! And no, the jungle poisons rule doesn't apply.

Why not! However, we suggest that all of these effects should only turn the Horned One into a normal Cold One, rather than destroying it altogether, so that the model does not need replacing.

The Slann casts the spell with irresistible force. The wizard to whom the miscast is applied can only 'forget' the spell that was miscast if he knows it himself. For example, if a Slann miscast the Burning Head spell from the Lore of Fire and the miscast was applied to an Empire Fire Wizard in his line of sight, and a 12 was rolled on the miscast table, the Fire Wizard would forget the spell if he knew it.

Yes (and you still ignore results 5-6).

Declare the use of the Cupped Hands of the Old Ones after determining that a miscast has occurred and rolling on the Miscast table. Yes, those wounds can be combined with the Bane Head! Yes, you can transfer a 2 to the enemy wizard (and anybody unlucky enough to be standing near him, ouch!).

There are many such combinations of rules and magic items in the game, and we handle it by discussing what we think should happen, and then rolling off if an immediate answer isn't forthcoming.

Yes, and indeed we recommend you to do so (well, as long as there is an enemy within 18", that is).

Before, it's just fairer that way!

The Bruiser has a BS of 3 - Bruisers are much better at hitting things with their fists than with complex weaponry.

No, the Hunter may not move and fire with his Harpoon Launcher - he must take time to reload it just as if it were a crossbow.

Yes in all cases. The Harpoon Launcher allows no armour saves, inflicts D3 wounds, and the Hunter may pivot before firing (provided he is not accompanied by Sabretusks).

This is simply for completeness, the Hunter is an Ogre and therefore could Bull Charge if he weren't such a loner!

They must accompany him until he releases them for a charge or when they are released to pursue a fleeing unit.

They retain them, though their abilities do not 'stack' - these Ogres can choose to either fight with their normal number of Attacks and an extra -1 armour modifier, or +1 extra attack and no extra armour modifier.

No, they may not.

Yes. In Warhammer 7th edition a unit suffering 25%+ casualties as a result of a misfire, must take a panic test.

No, they do not (not all Yhetee models have two weapons).

Yes, the Aura of Frost affects friendly models, but not other Yhetees.

Yes.

No, wounds are transferred as if they were a normal unit of models with multiple wounds and it is up to the owning player which Maneater is removed first. Wounds cannot be spread amongst the unit.

After normal charges, much in the same way as Frenzy.

This is intentional.

Yes it is.

No, it may not. Page 43 of the Warhammer rulebook under 'Pursuit Off The Table' states: "The unit may NOT charge, as it has missed its opportunity to declare charges, but may move normally, and may not march, but can otherwise participate in the game as normal.

No.

It only counts as 'successfully cast' if the casting value was met and the spell was not dispelled.

Yes.

The latter - a Butcher must cast a new spell upon an Ogre unit with an existing Gut Magic spell in play to replace it.

The character alone will benefit - if another Gut Magic spell is subsequently cast upon that unit it will replace the current spell effect that the character is under.

Yes, the character may join the unit. In the case mentioned above the character would immediately lose the effects of his spell and gain the effects of the spell affecting the unit he has joined.

The casting Butcher may decide if the spell still affects the character or the unit.

Yes and yes, though the spells may only be dispelled in this way if they were cast in an earlier magic phase.

Quite correct, it adds one to the total of the power dice.

Yes, they affect Gut Magic spells - though they would only affect the Butcher targeted by that effect. So, for instance, a Rune of Spelleating could destroy a Butcher's Trollguts spell, but other Butchers would still know that spell.

They may be equipped with the Bullgut or Gut Maw in addition to their mundane body armour. For example, a Tyrant equipped with Heavy Armour and the Gut Maw has a 4+ armour save.

Yes.

No; a Slaughtermaster can buy it, but he would not be able to use its special ability (this sadly means that it would simply count as a magical great weapon for him, not really worth the points...).

Yes, enemy models may not take armour saves and take D6 wounds each.

Resolve the attack by comparing the wielder's WS with the highest I value of the crew.

No, the entry should read 'any enemy spellcaster'.

Any Saving throw, so this includes Ward Saves. The Greedy Fist's effects only work in close combat.

The enemy wizard is destroyed, and all Butchers take D3 wounds. Such are the rewards of those who truck with Chaos.

No, they are immune to its effects.

A single Irongut Dogs of War unit per army may select a magic banner from the Ogre Kingdoms or Common magic item lists as described in their entry.

No and No. Dogs of War players may use either their normal entry or those noted as Dogs of War in the Ogres army list.

No, it does not - wounds are carried over in this case.

No.

No, they do not form a unit. They deploy as normal for Gorgers.

In White Dwarf Magazine.

As with all rules published in White Dwarf, if you want to use them at a tournament you should check with the tournament organiser first.

No. The rules for Gut Magic clearly specify that only units classified as "Ogres" per the Ogre Kingdoms army book may be augmented by Gut Magic. As Rhinox Cavalry are a Dogs of War unit and the rules printed for Rhinox Riders do not classify them as "Ogres", it appears that their exclusion is intentional.

Ghark's rules should include the following: "Ghark Ironskin takes up a Lord and a Hero choice".

Yes, when counting Orcs, count Orcs of any type. The same is true for Goblins.

Yes. Any one Big Boss in the army may carry the army's Battle Standard

The rules for including Dogs of War in other armies are found in the Dogs of War army list and Regiments of Renown list. If the Army Book / Army List in question or the Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown list allow the Army Book / Army List in question to field Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown then it is legal to do so. For example, in the Orcs & Goblins army book, the army book does not include any language about hiring Dogs of War, however as the Dogs of War rules allow Orcs & Goblins to field units of Dogs of War, it is still legal to do so. Orcs & Goblins may also hire the Regiments of Renown as outlined in the 'For Hire' rules for each particular Regiment of Renown.

"Do nothing" means that the unit (and any characters attached to it) can not perform the following: declare a charge; move; shoot; cast a spell; or declare a charge reaction other than "hold". Note that a unit which generates a "Squabble" result is not considered Immune to Psychology and must still take any panic, fear, or terror tests which may occur in the player turn.

Yes and Yes. The Panic rules clearly state that Panic may be caused due to casualties from random factors and these both fit that description! If Panic is caused in such a situation the Rulebook states that the survivors will flee towards the closest table edge.

The unit suffers a total of D6 Strength 5 hits and does not Squabble. Per the Quell Animosity rule, the Black Orc character inflicts his damage upon the unit and changes the result to "Plan's a good 'un". As the unit did not actually count as Squabbling that turn, it therefore does not suffer the D6 wounds for Squabbling on the turn a Waaagh! is declared.

Yes, the maximum bonus listed for units of Goblins is in the subsection discussing the Waaagh! bonus added for ranks. Units of Goblins are still eligible for the +1 Waaagh! bonus for being led by a Warboss or Big Boss.

No distinction. Follow the normal rules for Line of Sight.

Move the unit in a random direction (i.e. roll a Scatter Die to determine the direction the unit moves).

Yes this is allowed in the current Orcs & Goblins Army Book.

No. Savage Orc Big 'Uns on foot may not be given a magic standard per their unit entry. It is likely that the Design Team put this limitation in place to prevent the combination of Savage Orc Big 'Uns with Spears and the Banner of Butchery.

Yes. Note that Warhammer 7th edition has no general rules governing the weapons and equipment a Battle Standard Bearer may use. This is covered in the individual Army Books... and as a Black Orc BsB is equipped with two choppas and a great weapon he may use them.

Yes, they are allowed.

No, they are bought and treated exactly like a monstrous mount. This also means that no options can be bought for these chariots (the options are only for the chariots bought as Special units), and that victory points for the chariot are awarded separately from the character riding it, exactly like in the case of a Monstrous mount.

The new Giant Cave Squig models come packaged with 40mm square bases. Gigantic Spider Mounts do not have an official base size, however based on similar monstrous mounts, they should be based on either a 40mm or 50mm square base. For ease of ranking up, we recommend that you mount Gigantic Spiders on 50mm square bases if you intend to attach the Gigantic Spider to a unit of Cavalry or Orc Infantry, otherwise mount them on a 40mm square base.

Slaggs's Slashas, Azhag's 'Ard Armour and the Crown of Sorcery.

Yes.

Yes.

No. Fanatic models are never counted and never assign any victory points on their own. Only count the number of Night Goblins in the unit. The points cost of the Fanatics is added to the cost of the unit, in the same way as other upgrades (like a musician, for example).

Using common sense, the answer is No. If the terrain feature is "open" the Fanatic is only going to be contacting it with his feet and should not be removed as a casualty. If the Fanatic comes into contact with any non-open terrain features he should be removed as a casualty.

As the edge of the table is treated as impassable terrain, the fanatic is removed as a casualty. Due to the "Out of Control" rule a fanatic must be removed as a casualty when it comes into contact with impassable terrain.

No. Orcs & Goblins are no longer allowed to shoot at "friendly" released Fanatics. The language allowing that was removed from the current Orcs & Goblins Army Book.

When a unit ends its movement on top of a fanatic, the fanatic is removed, the unit takes 2D6 hits, and then resolves any necessary panic test.

No, this is not allowed. Characters are not allowed to join units which are subject to compulsory movement rules.

No. The rules for Great Cave Squiqs explicitly state that they may not join units.

No. The rule is called "Wild Squigs". If no Squigs remain, the rule does not apply.

Squig Herds contain two types of models, Night Goblins and Squigs. An enemy model can only attack the type of model with which it is in base to base contact. When an enemy model touches more than one type, the owning player must state where to distribute its attack(s). For example a mixed Squig Herd front line may have five enemy models in base to base contact. One enemy only touches a Night Goblin so it must attack that Night Goblin model. One enemy touches a Squig only, and must attack it. The three remaining each touch both Night Goblins and Squigs, so the owning player must state what those three models are attacking. Casualties are removed as normal except the Squig Herd player must track how many of each type are killed and remove that type. Note that attacks at any particular Initiative order all happen at the same time, so if they cause more wounds on one type of model than remain in the unit, it's too late to re-allocate those attacks; the excess wounds are lost. For example if a depleted Squig Herd has 5 Squigs and 5 Night Goblins, and the enemy attacks cause 6 wounds on Squigs, only 5 Squigs can be removed; the remaining wound is lost and not counted for combat resolution. When a front line model is killed, it is replaced by a model from the rear ranks; thus it may be possible for a Night Goblin killed in the front line to be replaced by a Squig, or vice versa. As long as there are unengaged rear rank models of both types, the owning player can choose.

Yes. Per the Wild Squigs rule, the unit may break and flee. Note however, that the Squig Herd is immediately removed from the table instead of fleeing as normal. If the victorious unit pursues, the Squig Herd should be treated as being caught by the victorious unit, and the pursuit move should be treated accordingly.

Once a unit is entangled in that combat phase, further entangled results have no effect, so the maximum Strength modifier is -1.

Yes. Nets are not classified as an "Attack" and thus characters engaged in a challenge may be entangled within them.

Yes. The Nets are thrown at the start of each close combat phase across all combats that turn (prior to any combats being resolved), and thus occur prior to impact hits.

Yes. The Fanatics are moved exactly like in the Movement phase, except that the direction of their move is towards the nearest point of the nearest visible enemy. If the Fanatic can see no enemies, it is moved in a random direction.

No and no. The Animosity rules state that the unit can do nothing that (player) turn.

Move the unit in a random direction (i.e. roll a Scatter Die to determine the direction the unit moves).

Yes, the unit can re-roll failed rolls to hit.

As Azhag is not a Shaman, but a Wizard, he uses the miscast chart in the rule book.

Count the actual rank bonus at the moment the object is used, so if the unit has no rank bonus at that moment, the bonus is 0.

It should be their normal failed charge distance.

No. The text clearly states that the bearer counts as having the same armour save and ward save as the model that caused the wounds.

No. Nowhere in the Amulet of Protectyness's description does it state that you get to use special rules related to the opponent's magic item. Likewise, if you were fighting a Chaos Lord who was wearing the Armour of Damnation, you would only get to use his armour save....you would not benefit from the special rule of forcing the enemy to re-roll to hit you.

As noted in the description of the item, the wearer of the Amulet has the same Ward save as the enemy model who wounded him. If that Ward save has conditions, then those conditions must be met for the wearer of the Amulet to benefit. For example, if the wearer of the Amulet was attacked by Bretonnian Knights of the Realm with the Blessing, his ward save would be a 5+ on the turn the Bretonnian Knights charged him and a 6+ thereafter.

In such a case, the wearer of the Amulet has the same Ward save as the enemy model who wounded him. So, as long as the enemy model who wounded him has not failed a Ward save, the Orcs & Goblins character would get the Ward save. Note that if the Orcs & Goblins character fails a Ward save it does not negate the item as he is not the bearer of it.

Yes, that appears to be the intent. The rules for the Bauble indicate that friends and foes suffer hits. While a chariot or monster is not technically in base to base contact with the bearer, allowing it to be exempt from the hits when all friends and foes around the explosion suffer defies common sense.

Yes, it's the evil potency of warpstone!

The Running with the Pack rule does not mean units of Rat Ogres never have a rank bonus, but rather than the Packmaster and Master Moulder models are ignored when working out the unit's rank bonus, so only ranks of Rat Ogres count. Use the Packmasters' or Master Moulders' Ld value (or the General's) as the base Ld for the unit, to which you then add the Rat Ogres' rank bonus.

No, left on their own the beasts lose this rule.

Yes, but we think it looks better if you put it on the leftmost or rightmost position in the rank.

Yes it is, and yes it can (in a kind of instinctive and inarticulate way, probably).

This is a bit of a complicated situation, where a unit has a mix of frenzied and non-frenzied models. The only other occurrence we can think of when something like this ever happens is when a non-frenzied character joins a frenzied unit. For simplicity's sake, we tend to apply these same rules for the Packmasters/Master Moulders in units of Rat Ogres. So, as long as the Rat Ogres are frenzied, we consider the entire unit Immune to Psychology and obliged to charge, but the Packmasters don't get any extra Attacks.

Even though it is quite monstrous, it is not a monster, and its Unit Strength is 5.

Correct! Remember that, just like a chariot, it can pivot only once during a charge.

No, it doesn't. So it can charge an enemy that was behind it, for example.

Yes. Measure to see if the charge is in range first and then declare the reaction. If the unit flees out of reach, move the Doomwheel after it the entire distance rolled.

No, the Doomwheel must still obey the charging rule stating that it must charge the target in the same arc it begins the charge movement in.

Absolutely!

Only one.

No it does not roll to hit – bolts automatically hit the closest unit (literally!), whether it is in combat or not, so there is no randomisation. And no, it cannot stand and shoot, its lightning attack only happens in each friendly Shooting phase.

The player controlling the affected unit. Normally, characters and champions are more resilient than normal rank-and-files to the mutating effects of the Curse.

Most definitely not: 'equipment' refers to their choice of weapons, and 'command' to the champion, musician and banner. Nice try!

Yes, but your plan would have to be really, really cunning and treacherous for you to gain any advantage by doing so...

For both models, we suggest using a Unit Strength of 3 (plus 1 for the Warlord), and a base size of 40mm square. However, do keep in mind that, as for all conversions, there are no strict rules about base size (other than: 'Be reasonable!'), and that any forthcoming Citadel miniature might be different from this suggested size.

We suggest 60 x 100 mm. However, do keep in mind that, as for all conversions, there are no strict rules about base size (other than: 'Be reasonable!'), and that any forthcoming Citadel miniature might be different from this suggested size.

They are all Unit Strength 2. The safest bet is to assume they are all on a cavalry base, even though they are obviously infantry models. However, do keep in mind that, as for all conversions, there are no strict rules about base size (other than: 'Be reasonable!'), and that any forthcoming Citadel miniature might be different from this suggested size.

It flees/pursues 3D6", and note that you don't roll on the 'Berserk Abomination chart' when you roll a triple for fleeing/pursuing.

It counts as a Cannon (as opposed to a Great Cannon), so its range is 48".

It's for both ranged and close combat attacks. Hits from the Mishap chart are treated as hits against its side/rear (as in reality they would be coming from inside it!), so the machine does not get any armour save against them.

For both models, we suggest using a Unit Strength of 6 (plus 1 for the rider).

If you don't have a unit for the Bell/Furnace, you can deploy it, but it won't be able to move for the rest of the game. So why would you do that?

At deployment, characters can be deployed in the unit pushing the Screaming Bell and they will also become Unbreakable. The drawback to this is that they cannot leave the unit as long as the Bell is still there. Once the game is started, no characters can join the unit as long as the Bell remains, as characters cannot join an Unbreakable unit. The same goes for the Plague Furnace, except that the only characters that can be deployed in its unit are those belonging to Clan Pestilens (i.e. Plague Priests, Lord Skrolk, and any other Pestilens characters we might publish or you might design). The reason for this is that the Furnace only makes Plague Monks Unbreakable and no other Skaven.

No, once its unit is gone the Bell/Furnace is stuck for the rest of the game, but it is still Unbreakable.

It continues to function normally inside its unit. The only difference is that all ranged attacks against it will hit the Bell – no need to randomise.

The dice rolled for the Screaming Bell are not power dice, but, as at least one of its effects can act as spells, it is still best to roll the Bell's powers before casting spells.

When the unit executes any manoeuvre (other than a wheel), the Bell/Furnace is immediately moved to the centre of its front rank. If the unit is engaged in combat, the Bell/Furnace is stuck in place and cannot be moved within the ranks until the unit can manoeuvre/reform again.

Yes, the great censer works nicely with an extra bit of forward movement!

Just one, for a total of 7 attacks. This represents the fact that the Monks mostly channel the energies of their frenzy into swinging the great censer!

Yes, they do count, just like impact hits would. The wounds caused by these rules on the enemy are added to your side's combat resolution score, while those caused on your own unit are added to the enemy's combat resolution score. Note that this answer covers everything that can cause wounds in combat both on the enemy and on its own side (and the Skaven are famous for this kind of 'accident').

The unit can only advance straight forward and/or wheel, nothing else.

Yes, that is a reasonable solution.

They have Ld 0 (-) and so will fail Ld tests automatically, but as they are Unbreakable, this will matter only very rarely (spells and magic items that force Ld tests, etc.).

'Stubborn Ld 5', as Stubborn troops use the Ld on their profile for Break tests.

All Warlock Engineers can choose a Warlock-augmented Weapon from their basic equipment, and this was intended to make them more freely available for players wishing to field them. This still counts as a magic weapon from all points of view (so, for example, the Warlock Engineer cannot buy another magical weapon). In addition to Warlock Engineers, a single other character in the army can pick a Warlock-augmented Weapon as his magical weapon. Exactly the same goes for Death Globes –all Globadier champions can have them, as well as one character.

Assassins, and Gutter Runners that upgrade to Poisoned Attacks, use the normal rules (the Scavenge-pile only refers to non-Eshin characters) –that is, Assassins and Gutter Runners have poisoned throwing stars and slings!

Yes, Thanquol rather prefers that his bodyguard protects him from a distance (we suspect that he does not entirely trust this 'gift'...).

On his own, Boneripper is not worth anything. His points values are incorporated into Thanquol's, much like the cost of a magic item.

No, the Doomrocket does not need line of sight, as it's simply fired in a nominated direction. It can be used to stand and shoot. Essentially, it follows the normal rules for missile weapons, except that it does not roll to hit and instead has its own firing rules.

The Clanrats are placed in the same position, formation and facing of the destroyed unit (imagine you are literally replacing each model with a Clanrat). If the destroyed unit was a skirmishing unit, replace the models and then immediately form the Clanrats up and roll a scatter dice to determine the unit's facing.

In this case, ignore the randomisation roll and simply hit all models touched by the template.

Take a Toughness test with the best Toughness value available to the ridden monster/chariot/multiple statline model and then if the test is failed, randomise the wound as you would for a missile hit.

Only if it's a Clan Eshin character.

No, they can be revealed even if the unit is not in combat, in which case he must be placed in the unit's front rank, just like any other character.

The unit is worth 50 victory points, regardless of its size. It just seems fair!

No, they normally treat the table edge as impassable, while when Out of Control and in Blind Fury they will leave the table as described.

Fleeing Abomination/Doomwheels move through units as normal, inflicting impact hits just like a chariot would.

Yes, as its Strength affects the Strength of its attacks.

It is destroyed, just like the rats that might emerge from its carcass.

The Warpfire Thrower is fired before the charging unit is moved. If the target is too far, then we suggest fleeing instead...

Yes, it does, just like in the 'Spins Wildly' result.

Yes, the shots stop after travelling 18".

The machine's – Strength 4, -2 armour save modifier.

The same as its number of crew, which is 3 (even though the models are not separate).

The 'no armour save' applies only to the close combat attacks made by the weapon. Hits from Storm Daemon's magic missiles have a normal -2 armour save modifier.

Yes they do, as this spell pretty well fits the rulebook definition of 'a ranged attack with unique targeting rules, which allow the player to deliberately aim his shot at a character inside a unit'.

No, as the exact position of the models is not known, the 5+ roll for the building effectively replaces the individual tests for the models in the unit. Initiative tests aplenty will need to be taken if the building collapses, of course!

The casualties are distributed as hits from shooting. If the unit includes characters, just follow the normal rules for shooting hits against such units. However, if the characters in the unit are Unit Strength 5 or more, they are not affected by the spell at all and casualties will fall amongst other models in the unit (just imagine the characters are not there). If the unit is destroyed by the spell, the player controlling the characters must place them anywhere 1" away from the newly formed Clanrats, facing in any direction.

No, these bonuses only apply to close combat hits.

One round of close combat only (i.e. one 'set of attacks').

Yes. All armies receive a base of 2 power dice in their magic phase. The Tomb Kings army may use these dice to attempt to dispel 'remains in play' spells.

No. The only case when it is possible for a Tomb Kings unit to move at double speed is when charging.

50x50mm. It has a Unit Strength of 4.

Total losing unit strength vs total unit strength feared.

Undead are not immune to poison. Only war machines and things specifically listed as being immune to poison are immune.

The Tomb King's/Prince's Curse is treated like any other multiple wound attack for this purpose.

Yes. If the Tomb King/Prince is slain outright in close combat, the leadership test from the Curse is taken "immediately". Thus any resulting wounds would apply to the combat resolution score. In the case of a challenge, the Curse can also produce overkill. Note however, that if the Tomb King/Prince is killed by combat resolution (and not slain personally by a specific attack), the Curse takes affect after combat resolution has been calculated and thus does not modify the result.

No, if they had great weapons it would say 'Weapons: Great weapons' in the army list entry.

No. The Incantation of Righteous Smiting explicitly says "models in base-to-base contact".

An incantation is always cast, regardless of its power level. The opponent must still spend one of his dispel dice to dispel the incantation. However, the result will automatically be higher than 0 and the incantation will be dispelled.

No, as he isn't a wizard. It is more his indomitable will that forces his minions to perform his bidding rather than 'magic' in the normal sense. In a similar vein, Drain Magic cannot be cast against Settra.

No. A Tomb Kings army cannot take advantage of magical powers from such things as an enemy Miscast.

Yes.

Yes. No exemption to taking panic checks for DoW / RoR units has been granted in the Tomb Kings Army Book. While the units may be "Undead" they are still considered "friendly" units for purposes of Panic.

No. Undead are Unbreakable, and characters who are not Unbreakable cannot join Unbreakable units and Unbreakable characters cannot join units that are not Unbreakable.

As long as they don't disturb the hierarchy, they can cast at any time, before or after it, but never during.

Yes.

If the Chariot is charging, any impact hits are worked out against the unit as with other challenges. However, except for the impact hits, the chariot takes part in the challenge as a single model, so all crew and steeds fight in the challenge. This is necessary as there is no separate Wound for the Champion himself and so attacks against him cannot be separated out.

Only the Chariots that are in base-to-base contact can cause impact hits.

Both combat resolution and pursuing/fleeing happen before the end of the phase, so the character would count as part of the unit (unfortunately, this would also mean the Chariots only pursue 2D6" because his Movement value is not more than 6").

No. The character and his chariot are treated separately. Neither can you resurrect the character if the chariot is still 'alive'!

No. Per the Official answer in the above Q&A, the character and the chariot are treated separately.

Yes, as per the above Q&As a chariot and a Tomb Kings character are treated separately, you earn victory points for whichever parts you destroy (the character, the chariot, or both).

Yes.

Yes, and vice versa.

5. He has 4 Attacks in his profile and gets an extra 1 with the second weapon.

It has no affect at all; if the target does not have a Wounds characteristic, there's no life force for the Bone Giant to feed on!

Yes, but remember that he attacks only once, not five times when using the Incantation of Righteous Smiting.

These special attacks do not carry over to other models, treat them all as allocated attacks.

Yes.

No, the special attack from the Destroyer of Eternities may stillbe used. The Design Team has previously ruled that magic items /abilities whichreduce the number of enemy attacks do not apply to special forms of Attack such as a Giant, Night Goblin Fanatics, etc.

No.

Yes.
