Re: Scouting and Unseen or Unseen (x) units

If that's the case then why can't Ranged units outside of the x inches shoot into that area albeit with heavy modifiers? Because they're too far away. Is this a trick question? Cheers Rob If they are within Range of their Ranged weapon, then based on your earlier post, that although the unseen unit...

All of the above, plus: 1 - Force the Initiative ; using two units to Engage means he can only Blind one of them. 2 - Shoot his wizards. You have Sávrakontar, which are scouts; use them as such.

Re: Natural Armour

It's just that, Natural Armour, so any invocations or weapons that have the Ignore Armour rule it ignores Borne or Worn only, not Natural Armour.

So in your example no. 1 would be valid as it includes the Natural armour but exlcudes the Borne armour.
