Slam

Postby Kharn » Thu Jun 30, 2016 2:18 pm

Hello, guys.
Recently argued a little after the game about slam.
The situation was the following:
My ax-drunes were slammed by the fidron, so that 4 of them were in btb contact.
How many of them will be slammed backwards? By the rules - only the wounded one of them. Is it correct?
Using digital rules.

Firstly I think a fidron can't slam as you need a +ch weapon eg vasilisk horn butt and it's the warrior that the head of the model touches.

Going by 6.14.6.1, warriors only get slammed backwards if they took slam damage, which could spill over to multiple warriors if it exceeds their Constitution (Class and Skill permitting). If it doesn't exceed the wounded warrior's Constitution, then only the wounded warrior would be slammed backwards.

For slam it's bulk charger that is needed.

I believe it specifies they must have either a charge+ attack or a weapon with the impact hits special rule (which I think may all gave been removed but don't quote me on that)

To Slam, a warrior firstly needs to have the Bulk Charger ability, which the Fídron does have; and be able to perform an impact strike or a Charge+ attack. If the Fídron has Swift Charged, that means he can Slam.

Page 174, Slamming Unit Requirements.
