Good point Geoff, I'll make sure Joanna does that...

Darklands is meant to brutal, always remember that ;o)

Whilst helping out with a game last night (getting a few rules wrong here or there but that is learning) and one query brought up was how many times can a feral unit use a Counter-engage Reaction? As they are forced for to do it when being Directly swift engaged can they do this only once an hour o...

Thanks Jon. Been mega busy this week with Hammerhead!

Enjoy Geoff!

There's a few Norse miniatures to show you this week, although they all revolve around two, really... STEINN THE BOLD, SEGGR OF HRAFNEN ON FOOT Bob's work on Steinn the Bold - both on foot and on Grundtroll - is, we think you'll agree, nothing short of outstanding. But don't take our word for it... ...

Two lovely Byzantii miniatures to show off thanks to Allan this week. We don't really know what hippos sound like, so we're all singing the theme to Rainbow thanks to cuddly George, the hippo. For those under 40 or not British: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9fhOPHtOtw. Yes, it's safe for work, be...

Three miniatures to show this week, and all for the Byzantii. How lovely! IN IV HEROD, IGNILEGIONARIUS INCAENDIUM Three lovely fire demons to show this week, all for the Byzantii of course, and all from the talented hands of Yannick Hennebo... Herod, Ignidecanus The leader of the unit, Herod , is re...

When originally playtested I was helped by an ex-policeman (of riot experience) who told me it takes the speed of thinking to exchange your weapons.

No, there's no penalties for the ensuing Attack actions.

So I have had a read of the Errata of Trample and believe I have a grasp of the rule, just wanting to check if for example a Hydra tramples 12" and ends in attack range/base to base with a unit does it still attack with the non trample/bulk charge attacks and count as being a swift charger thu...

I've fixed it, the hosts should definitely be legal. The Yew Beast is now Authority 41. If you spot any more, let me know.

Do you mean position? We don't use the d-word here... ;o)

Anyway, yea - if you have both, position both at the same time with the general.

So as part of any engage action you can move (as a normal move up to the listed pace) or swift move which is between pace and double pace? If this is the case i am unsure why you would ever use the run action to indirect move into combat as they then have the same movement value? or is that the poi...

User DrNO172000 has spotted a few things!

Page 190:
6.18.1.1
REQUIREMENTS
Vigour: the Attack Moving unit is lively or alert

The first of a few to come.

Cheers
Rob

Thanks go to user simock03... Page 158: 6.10.5.1.2 SWIFT ENGAGE If the Engaging unit wishes to Engage Move as quickly as possible - or is compelled to, in the case of units under ATTACK orders - then it uses its SWIFT ENGAGE MOVE, which is defined as further than and up to twice the Engaging unit's ...

I may be failing super hard at reading rules here but we have been prepping for our first game of Darklands on Sunday and i cant seem to find anything telling me how to swift move. For example it says under tample, slam and other actiongs that they become swift (X), and i know swift is if you move ...

Rob, The general can form two commands, his own: General's Command and also the Host's Command. The muster rules seem to say these can be done simultaneously, how does this function though, as the General's Command must have the general as its commander, and the Host's Command also states the Gener...

Both apply really - good spot though, I'll make sure p190 says lively or alert.

Cheers
Rob

No problem.

Sounds like a cool battle to be honest! Poor old Dyndraig ;o)

It's not always the case that infantry loses against monstrous infantry either ;o)

Send me a mail guys, I'll try to poke him for you.

Cheers
Rob

You need to pit gold v gold. It's useless putting a unit of 10 infantry against a unit of 5 monstrous infantry because the gold costs are invariably skewed.

I've done it as an example to many people - 500 gold of Gairlom against 500 gold of Srónax.

Try it.

Cheers
Rob

This really ought to be in Players and Community to be honest. Maybe even a new subforum. I'll move it.

Thanks for the answers Rob! With the Brutes vs the Dyndraigs the Brutes had actually lost, I'm not even sure the strong token would have caused them to win. What happened was the Brutes were charged and Dyndraig unit did a whopping 105 points of damage. After the charge, the Ysian player did his at...

These questions came up in today's game. 1) Sweet Corruption Sweet Corruption Invocation reads as such "Friendly Marks: Marked unit may only be an enemy unit with the Living trait. Continuous Effect: Marked unit immediately suffers suffers 1D10 wound dice per invoked die (the damage from which...

Hi, A few questions The first question is in regards to Under Strength In 2.3.3.5.4 it lists Under Strenght as "... A unit whose current strength is less than a quarter of its original strength remaining (rounding any fractions up) is under strength. in 6.30.8.2.1 (Heavily Damaged Target) and ...

I've been going back through the rulebook now I have got more of my models for the Atalantes to make sure I understand the rules for them I have not needed to know off hand for the Brythoniaid. Scalding I wanted to check that how i have read this rule is correct in that if a model with this trait h...

Jonathon Chester wrote:@Rob the Ceffyldraig is listed on the Teryn profile as 125 gold and on its own sheet as 122 gold.

The Teyrn is able to utilise it more effectively, which is why all mounts are more expensive than the base mount for nobles.

Rob

Hi! For Dyndraig, I noticed that their War Cleavers have a 1 handed and 2 handed profile. Should they have switch hands? Or is the 1 handed profile there merely for if they purchase the Tarlan? I will be removing all "Switch Hands" because it's just confusing - you already have a hands va...

Thanks guys!

Thanks Jon!

From what I understand if a unit is under Hold Orders they get a Hold exult token attached to them. So I had a few questions in regards to this. First since orders are secret until a unit activates, should the token only be attached once the order is revealed or the unit gets in combat? Yes, unless...

When a Tekhnomantis uses his Sunring to force an Automata unit that unit suffers 2D10 or 1D10 damage depending on whether they pass the authority test or not. Given that these units have the Impenetrable rule does this mean on any rolls of 0 to 3 the damage is ignored or is this rule negated? Thank...

Only one miniature to show this week, but it's an absolute belter, and for the Norse! STEINN THE BOLD, SEGGR OF HRAFNEN ON GRUNDTROLL Predictably, Bob's work on the Norse goes from strength to strength, and Steinn the Bold is utterly, utterly brilliant. Or at least, the Grundtroll is - and we're ver...

I like it! A bit of everything, as it should be. Some big fighty stuff, some shooty bits, some cheap infantry - job's a good 'un.

The only thing you may be missing is a largish monster, but I reckon the Krokodar can take on most things...

For the Rose of Ker Ys invocation "Enslaved to the Rose" it list it as a sight invocation but it has no range. When playing we ruled it as a Focus invocation but want to double check our assumptions were right. Yeah, that's correct - it should be focus. Good spot, fixed! With the Holumann...

Good spot mate, I'll fix that in the next iteration!

Thanks Rob, as always you are a great help! Our group played our first real game the other day which is where the Ax-Drune example actually came from. I somehow completely missed on pg124 with regards to Frenzied units! So also thanks for pointing that out as well. We are really looking forward to ...

Ok but this part here below seems to contradict that? As you've said that if a defeated unit fulfils "any" part of it. For example, a group of Ysian Ax-Drunes are defeated due to having less exult tokens then their foe. They are not fearless so they fulfil that criteria, they are not dama...

Thanks Rob! Follow up question though, as I just want to be sure I'm doing it right. With the attack chart does that mean if a non-fearless unit has not taken damage at all they still must do an Attack Result Reaction because they are not fearless? No, they have to take damage. The Attack Damage pa...

Hi! I hope no one has already asked this, I did search the forums and check the errata but it's always possible I missed it. If I am repeating a question my apologies. Mate don't be daft - I welcome all questions, even if they've been asked before! My first question is under 6.20.2.1 that it states...

There's two miniatures to show this week and they're both bloody awesome, although we would say that. The Érainn and the Byzantii get the treatment! IN IV HEROD, IGNILEGIONARIUS INCAENDIUM The In IV Herod, Ignilegionarius Incaendium contains three hellfire-throwing Demilegionarii, and will all be sc...

We have some Awesome Things for you this week and no mistake. We have a fantastic resculpt for the Norse and an amazing set of reworkings and a superb set of conversions for the Khthones! With the miniatures shown today done, that just leaves the Ceorl Freemen for this project, amazingly - and Stéph...

BRUDE, AURMAER OF DUN DURN Brude the awesome Albainn host champion is looking utterly superb, as you can see! We'll mould him and then send him back to Valentin for his alternates, of course... https:/...

There's only one miniature to show this week, but the Érainn are all the happier for it... DAGHDHA LÚG, BEAST OF DANU We decided to get Didier to Do Daghdha Lúg , and he's certainly come up trumps. There's a bit to do - not least the "glowy thing" as Didier puts it - but he's getting there...
