Hello Rob, Thanks for the quick response. Just one point on the first question. If the Bow Drunes had already move and shot before being charged they would be unable to do anything? Apart from being eaten by the Wolves. lol The Bow-Drunes would still be able to Attack Move and then Attack , but tha...

Lovely work Yx! Keep 'em coming!

Hello to all. Sorry if there is already a topic for these type of questions. Hope you are well? Just have a couple of rules issues. Had a bit of confusion over a charge and breakthrough unit. Had a wolf Thane and wolves charge bow drunes, couldn't make 100% weapon contact. Thane killed enough to di...

Thanks to, er, myself for this change: Page 243: 6.23.5.7.2 PASSED CONSTRICTION TEST If the CONSTRICTION TEST is passed, the Grabbed warrior suffers D10 damage per successful grab strike.

When a unit goes to engage a particular unit but winds up in another units engagement range as well, does the involuntarily engaged unit get to make an engagement reaction? Yes. In that same vein, would the involuntarily engaged unit get to attack/attack move once the attackers have gone? No; they ...

Oh hey, it's me again! So, given some of the more recent news, should I be looking to switch all the pending metals I have over to resin? And yeah, about those Mallax - anytime soon? I mean, we're getting real close to 5 years overdue now - they're to be the centerpiece unit for my Fomoraic Force! ...

Well his potential wounds to be caused by his base axe and sword is 18 His potential when using that 2handed is 15 As a demiurion has 6 attacks with his axe at 2 wounds each And 6 attacks with his sword at 1 wound each If he 2handers the tartarus edge axe he will only get 5 attack die at 3 wounds e...

Okay to propse another point here, if im loosing dice and sacrificing X amount of dice from my second weapon why take this item, because a Demiurion has a damage potential of 18 wounds without any artefacts, if i take tatarus edge and loose a dice with 2h option, his damage potential becomes 15 so ...

Piggybacking onto this; when 1/2h artefact weapons add dice, they always have the traditional one less - are both added onto the 1h profile, or is the 2h profile added to the original 2h option, ending up with 2 fewer dice? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you have an example? Cheers Rob So, a ...

How do you calculate the tatarus edge 2h option attack die as it says equal, but the neither the demiurions or options have access to a base 2h weapon, do you just use the same amount of attack die as you would 1h, or do you combine both their weapons to figure out how many die you get? A good poin...

So I've now managed to purchase and build about 2.5k silver worth of Infernii, just waiting on Krull to arrive to push it over the 3k ( yes I know I can't field all the nobles in a proper muster, but a bring it, you play it game ohh yesssss, it's happening)... :D Anyhow over to my questions about I...

Okay, I think I get the gist. I think you may be thinking Displace happens when you Move Through a unit, which it doesn't, except at the end, when your guy stops. However, you can only Move Through stuff that's half your mass or lower, so it's not as nasty as you may think. Flyers can Land and Displ...

As the stonesblood, doubles damage from hits with hellfire damage, does this also double damage and tokens from other sources that deal hellfire damage E.g failing or passing a quell test, No, because the rules for stonesblood state "Should that unit suffer a strike die or a shot die" not...

Hey! Noticed a couple of things amongst the far Thule muster here and there, thought I’d list them off! 1. Winter Comes, is an invocation that changes the weather, but I’m not sure what the value is to roll against it? Would it be temper vs temper of the sorcerer casting it, or treated as temper 0 ...

This artefact is replace only, most characters do not have a helm they have a Helm and Greaves which count as light armour. Is this intentional? Yes, but I need to separate out helms and greaves on armour elements; basically, take it as read that you can do that for now, and I'll separate them out ...

A query regarding the interactions of the cracked bracers and the spike favour and axe of deroch. Both of the weapons give multiple frenzy dice (two and three respectively) and the cracked bracers says: ‘The bearer becomes frenzied at the beginning of the battle, but gains 2 frenzied attack dice in...

One of the cool features of the Darklands game is the ability to interact with terrain. I explore the rule interactions required for a unit of dyndraig to burn down a forest to root out pesky foresters. We’ll begin by looking at the characteristics of a forest.

Hi Rob, Both the Augur and Seer drune have the following special rule: Foreseen Fumble: An Augur-Drune may re-roll any failed FUMBLE TEST once. A Fumble Test is not referenced in the rules, is this intended to be a reroll of invoke dice that rolled a 0, or a re-roll of the fumble chart? A re-roll o...

Awesome, yeah that makes sense with the warlords, I just noticed other kindreds with bow options tend to have ‘bow units’ as sworn options on muster paths. Makes a lot more sense having the war-chiefs in commands like that, warlords should be leaning on Hearthguard types for sworn units, not suppor...

Hey! Just noticed a couple of things on the Atalantes muster I’d like to query. 1. The Strategos, when he takes a bow or iliotoxon option does now allow a muster path of either Toxotes or Iliotoxotes whereas the Lokagos can, Is this intentional? The strategos can't take a bow or iliotoxon - is that...

Yeah, that's unlucky I would suggest, perhaps you're right on the stingers. I'll add them, although it will increase the cost of the skorpion.

So with the changes to how immobilising strike works, And having used the skorpion major in up to about 75 games since the changes, that it just doesnt work anymore, either through lack of fated hits or just fated damage rolls, now part of that is due to bad luck, but not getting it once is a littl...
