Thematically I think it's correct that flankers don't have access to the direct engagement actions, as it specifies that units on flank orders are keen to take the enemy by surprise wherever possible. If you are on flank orders you have to be deployed off the table, and if you are changed to flank ...

On page 148, the rules say you can pre-position your Soarers in the sky as Circlers as long as they are under Flank orders. Very cool, I like this. Can Scouting units be pre-positioned in the same way? Page 135 says units under a Scout order can Soar, but doesn't mention being placed in the sky pri...

Can a March action be taken by a unit under Flank orders? According to page 135, the answer is no. But page 146 indicates that they can. This is significant because it can potentially apply to your allied contingent which can be up to 1/3 of your host. Yea, page 146 is the key there. Units under FL...

Quick couple questions about her rules. Firstly does her spell stack with weapons that already have a +D10 damage or is it a flat bonus that won't stack? No; it doesn't, but I'll make sure that's explicit - I can see there'd be a grey area. Second if you use her crown of fire artefact can she heal ...

I love it mate - boat rolling gently down the stream ;o) Hehe! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, Darklands is a great game and I always enjoy every game I play. Maybe next time you could post some photos, and if you've any rules queries - go for it! We will be running a "Darklands GT" later ...

Hi Krikke

You're welcome mate - glad you enjoyed the video!

A few questions is i may. A friend and I are trying to learn the rules and the following came up in a test battle yesterday. My Kraacken, which is under attack orders, charges a unit of Trolls containing the Troll Konungr. - The Konungr is within range of the attacks, can I single him out? Absolute...

It can be however you like. It's not a direct move, so whatever. It would say "Direct Movement" if it was a straight line. See the Movement rules, back of section 3.

Additionally, this is not a playtest question - I'll move it to Rules Discussion.

Rob, I do have a question, How does Timmy include the Wiglere in the Duguth along with the Thegn? I'll be honest, I thought the Wiglere was in the Thegn's command, so if he wasn't that's a mistake on Timmy's part that I didn't see. Only commanders can join units and even then can only joins ones in...

It's so that my videographer has access to a channel. He doesn't have access to the account, just that channel.

Hey Rob and Tim, thanks for posting that great battle report, I found it tremendously helpful to work through the game. For anyone who hasn't seen it, take a peek at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_5VsAodPAU Glad you like it! There is one thing that I wanted to ask you about. When you ...

It works well enough James, we've tested it a few times. It's designed to stop the conga line.

Cheers
Rob

No, he's talking about re-engaging if you have warriors that haven't fought (or combat weapons that haven't been used). This stops the conga line. So, the front rank slaughters the enemy, no enemy to fight and they can't Attack Move back in, and some warriors have yet to fight. Thus, they re-engage....

You're right. Terrify (A) vs Fearsome (B) -Passed (A) --> No Afraid Token - correct -Passed (B) --> Afraid Token - no Afraid Token -Failed (A) --> Afraid token - no Afraid Token (why would a Terrifying beast be afraid of Fearsome? Think of Fearsome as level 1, Terrifying as level 2) -Failed (B) --> ...

Hah, awesome. I guess it would always be that you had three Hippoxa ;o) Yea, looks okay. The Hippoxa would hit hard - although shooting and magic may bring down one before you get them into combat - and you've plenty of units to drown out the enemy, and those Dromedii will hit nicely. The only thing...

Bloody hell I thought it was a recent battle report. Sorry guys!

Cheers
Rob

Fearsome vs Fearsome and Terrify v Terrify - no VALOUR TEST required.

Other than that, fine. I think!

Cheers
Rob

Yes, absolutely. Just Attack Move those guys first, if you can.

Cheers

Brilliant stuff Sven! Sounds like a cracking battle - I love it. What did your opponent think of the battle? Also the Khthones host isn't 100% legal, as Petroyos can't just be fielded "on his own"... but well :lol: He can, inside another command - although I'm not quite sure how you had hi...

Hmmm... it looks like an error has snuck in here. If you're not fearsome, or are fearsome and your opponent is terrifying, you shouldn't be afraid if you pass your VALOUR TEST; only if you fail.

I'll fix that in the errata.

Cheers
Rob

Never too busy to answer rules questions ;o)

Cheers
Rob

No. Commands are given one order at the beginning of the battle, which is given to its commander; all of the units in that command are under that order unless there are exceptions (such as Feral units, which must be under ATTACK orders ). The only exception to this rule is the general - he can give ...

Invocation Blind: So my opponent declares his charge. I elect to hold & invoke. I successfully Invoke Blind onto the target unit. As the enemy unit is now unsighted and doesn't have line of sight to the unit it declared its charge against, does the charge just fail? No, because the declaration ...

1. Hold and.... engagement reactions; If i opt to hold and inspire, can i still fight back when the engagement is completed. It says " cannot perform any other engagement reactions". But fighting back is maybe not an engagement reaction? Attack reaction? Getting confused he he. Correct, a...

Sorted both, thanks guys.

Cheers
Rob

Simply put, "against" is applied whenever something affects the unit in question. In your example, the Tuanagh unit does not have to re-roll because that test does not have an immediate effect on the Gabrax.

Cheers
Rob

Don't be silly - no questions are stupid!

I welcome any and all questions!

Cheers
Rob

Yes

Rob

A single warrior is a unit, no need to take him as an individual.

I will sort both, thanks.

I'm afraid I won't be showing profiles for anything that doesn't have a miniature in production - i.e., that miniature has had, at the very least, been funded.

Cheers
Rob

Keep helping! It really does help mate. I usually miss something!

Cheers
Rob

Even better! :) On the Ysian muster there are inconsistencies with references to Death-Brute, Death-Abhorrent, Brutes and Abhorrents weapons. Calls them clubs in some places and weapons in others - also in the Death- versions the replacements are worded that they replace themselves rather than what...

so must i explicit in the roster if i want to use the Compel/Influence rule? Correct; the word "may" is there (rather than "must") because "may" gives you much more flexibility. Additionally, lore-wise you should always think of your host as being comprised of differen...

Dammit I think I've forgotten to include the Overlord ability in the Muster Rules... will fix!

It's what Jon states, basically.

Cheers
Rob

Correct.

Rob

No worries Dan!

Looking at 6.65.2.1.3 Breaking a Skirmish Dammit there's a typo. It should be 6.63. Sigh. It seems that it's at the controlling player's discretion whether to remain a skirmish unit. To break a skirmish voluntarily, yes. What about a skirmish unit engaged in combat? As the warriors attack move and ...

Hi James

They must purchase at least one invocation.

"If they wish to perform an Invoke action" is a jokey aside, more than anything else.

Cheers
Rob

Currently, yes - I'd need to explicitly disallow that.

Cheers
Rob

If for instance a unit with the ubiquity common(2) is purchased to fulfill one common ubiquity slot, is it entitled to free command? Yes, because you're still purchasing that unit to fulfil a minimum ubiquity requirement. What about if you are playing a game with min common of 2, and you take a uni...

Yes, it does - you're not missing anything. What I've probably done is not give the lances enough of an attack range; and lances in the dark ages were not exactly long, they were more like spears than anything else. The only long lances were generally the Roman/Greek ones, they were about 4m long, s...

Yea, will sort that Byzantii.

Cheers
Rob

Just the Holumann infantry.

Good spot, they should be natural of course. Will fix!

Yes, he's shaken (unless his strength is greater than the unit); and he can't Inspire the unit himself as he is shaken, but a host champion, host banner bearer or host herald can Inspire him and his unit. A Roarer could also Rouse the unit, and of course if his unit is Victorious it's no longer shak...

Looks good Lee - you could go Troll Gothi, for two Invokers, easily... there's advantages to both. Whatever you fancy there, I think...

Cheers

In the muster rules it states that you can Field/ muster Warriors With higher authority than the general, but then they must be fielded as individuals. Does this mean that I can muster Ophios as an individual? Would be cool to have him running on his own, casting invocations and dropping a Hydra in...

This should be in Rules Discussion - I'll move it.

Cheers
Rob

If a weapon has a wound+ in its profile, is it still so that you add the +dice to each one of the wound dices? When I read in the rules it seems like this has changed to after damage, not pr wound dice? Well, that was a cluncky way to ask question, but I hope someone understands what I am trying to...
