The second paragraph of the Devour part of the grab rule also states ‘sometimes the act of devouring an enemy warrior can increase the constitution...’ just for reference pg219. The use is it’s a grab attack so an instant kill on a failed skill test so better for dealing with MI that are low skilled...

Jonathon Chester

Ah so different from generic Grab action then, serves me right not reading the rules fully! That is overly powerful as a failed grab test is an auto kill, this makes the draiggoch a terrifying prospect against low skill 120mm monsters that are at full constitution as you can just go for the instant ...

Jonathon Chester

Not all devourers gain constitution back, if you check the big beasts (and similar models in the Erainn muster) and it details the regaining of constitution.

Jonathon Chester

Just to check that the Valhrafn is a 120mm base? If so it can’t grab the meat hulk as you can only grab 80mm or smaller. The only exceptions with grab is devour, some models can do equal or any smaller bases, and constrictor which can grab anything but has a penalty and bonus depending what they grab.

Jonathon Chester

They can ambush if they come on from a board edge or due to their Forester special rule they can Emerge from wooded terrain.

I believe you can merge Action, a Howl, and an Ambush Action all in the same activation but I'm not 100%.

Jonathon Chester

Do your mini's have to be painted to play? I'm also not completely up to speed on all the Gameplay, such as Positioning, Terrain Placing, and Orders, but most of the other Apprentice Rules and some of the Journeyman rules im ok at, would it be worthwhile me coming? Also, I can't seem to access the ...

Hi All, Now Rob has done a recent update to the musters these will be the ones used in the event. I will be putting them in the dropbox over this evening and tomorrow morning. A reminder for payment and lists due dates are coming up soon so please get them in as soon as possible please. Thank you all.

Jonathan Chester has mostly put us all to shame with his efforts. Having had a promising start getting druc done, I've had a rocky couple of months and have just finished three brutes to get a total of 22 from 100 done. I may well be able to add a few more brutes in the next couple of weeks however...

Jonathon Chester

We are still in the learning stage of the Game, and have just started using Orders and some Journeyman rules migrated up from Quick Play rules, we haven't started using Terrain or Host Positioning Rules yet, would these negate his ability to avoid forested areas? Your kindred terrain would as you c...

Jonathon Chester

As Rob said you sacrificed mobility and they have to be one of the last units to activate. Though for maybe the first hour have them volley then swap them to shoot to get them moving away and harassing. It also depends if you’re able to take the fight to your opponent if they aren’t able to put pres...

Jonathon Chester

I've heard of this being good but again unsure if this is the exact primer. I tend to use Army Painter uniform grey as a primer currently.

Jonathon Chester

Yeah fair point about the play style of what you face. A similar thing could be said of some ysian builds. If a lot of the stuff you're facing is big smash mouth frenzied units then attacking the chain of command wont have a huge effect - it would mean you've got more chance of going first though e...

Jonathon Chester

It entirely depends on the hosts make up if the option is available to me. Out of my two regular opponents one with formoraic often has a unit of tarvax with tain and pigs at a minimum sometimes including the tarvox which forces me to prioritise these as they prevent me having time early game. The o...

Jonathon Chester

They should be on 30mm bases, may be a hang over when they were possibly intended to be on 40mm

Jonathon Chester

Lol no worries, annoyingly the model by himself is head on so you couldn't really see the axe much but the group shot had him at a useful angle

Jonathon Chester

Thanks for the confirmation Rob. Third question in regard to this if I may. In the engage.. and process, could you engage and spray with a spray weapon that can be switched with a bite attack in combat, spray before engaging and then use the bite attack during your combat attacks? I’d believe so if...

Jonathon Chester

Question on the Melding Metal spell for the Khthones. If you choose a weapon it has its attack dice reduced to a minimum of 1. I assume for a feral unit this is reduced to 1 then you gain an additional attack whilst in a Frenzied heart state? Also do you still keep the weapon benefits e.g. +XD10, fi...

Jonathon Chester

I'll give it my best Hugh. First thing I'd have to do is ensure my PC can open/edit/save the spreadsheet doc. Just a thought but if you could get hold of a PDF of the Rulebook, the wordsearch function would perhaps do this job in a tenth of a time...dunno, I've been known to have shit ideas! Curren...

Hey guys, I'd like to come down and "have the opportunity to ask Rob Lane (and others!) about details of the rules, miniatures, new releases etc!! but I certainly won't be playing in one of the games. I don't think I'll have my Mini's done tbh, nor the rules down pat... Anyway, would it be wor...

Right so lets assume you want to expand your list to a 999 gold force and you want to take the mantichora with the goad drones as your first additions. You’ve got three choices. Either you muster them under the general as you have plenty of authority to spare, muster another commander and mainstay u...

I understand these basic questions can be arduous for you experienced players (I always imagine lots of facepalming whenever I post any questions).

Jonathon Chester

Question - am I correct in thinking that the HOST COMMAND does NOT require 1 Mainstay unit? The rules state that EVERY Command requires one but also goes on to say Host Commands are only made up of certain listed units of which Mainstay is not mentioned. I guess this overrides the former ruling... ...

Yes, it has. Thank you very, very much Jonathon. I look forward to having my sanity tested again when I brace my reading glasses, girdle my loins and ...open the rulebook again. I did it once and failed a flee test. Those darn panic reactions! Genuinely my best bit of advice is go through and put t...

Jonathon Chester

Apologies I thought I answered them in my previous post Are there actually NO units whose Ubiquity is listed as 'Mainstay'? From a quick glance through the Ysian muster no units are mainstay at base. Are ALL mainstay units the ones that are either compelled or influenced? And how may a Commander act...

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 or...

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 thus...
