Rob,
The new Sculpts for the Sávrar, look great, but will they be possible allies for the Atalantians as they genetically engineered them?

Weather Changing Invocations
Both the Fomoraic and Norse have Weather changing Focus Invocations.
Question 1: Do these invocations change the weather across the entire Battlefield, or just within the Focus Range of the Invoker?
Question 2: Does a Die roll need to be made to create the Weather Change for the Invoke to work?

Question about the troll gothi
It says he can only take invocations that deal lightning damage,
So can it take the invocation thunderous sky as that spell doesn't directly deal lightning damage but can do with an after effect ?

So to Emerge and Ambush with Guthwulfs, you need to bide your time so that the right enemy is closest to your emerge point so the Feral Guthwulfs will attack this, or choose your emerge point wisely and quickly to avoid getting weary.
