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).

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.
