1.1

General
Deployment and Start of the Game
A. Before deployment, decide which and how units will be deployed. If both players have unusually deploying units, roll-o and alternate declaring before deploying anything. 2. How are we to interpret the rules for choosing spells - i.e. when can you double a spell? A. Rolled spells cannot be kept if another wizard already has that spell. Exeption to this are signature spells from old army books and some special rules that allow you to keep the spell. 3. Can I freely decide how early or late to generate spells for wizards as long as it happens before I deploy any of them? A. WIP 4. Are assassins and other hidden models visible to your opponents in your armylists? A. The presence of an assassin will be visible as an item in the armylist along with its equipment, but the assassin himself is hidden until it is revealed. Mark his location on a piece of paper. Fanatics are completely visible all the time.

1. When do you declare whether something deploys unusually?

1.2

Movement Phase
A. Yes, pivoting models may ignore obstructions when pivoting, as long as they abide by the 1 rule at the end of their pivot.

1. Are virual pivots allowed?

2. Can units make swift reforms and then move, having some models go over double their Movement? A. No. 3. What happens when a unit is within 1 of another and is not engaged in combat(for example after a charge move)? A. Treat it as it is 1 apart to that particular unit for the duration of the move. 4. Do I have to maximize frontage in addition to models, when charging? A. No. A single model may clip a single model. 5. While charging, do I have to maximize the supporting attacks from the second rank? A. No. 6. Can dwarf miners, reinforcement troops and similar units perform a reform or a swift reform on the turn they enter from table edge? A. Yes. 7. Can multiple characters charge out of the same unit in one turn? A. No. 8. Can a character charge out from the second rank? If Yes, whats their line of sight? Can they start their wheel inside the unit? Can they charge if they cant clear the unit before hitting the enemy? A. Yes. He uses line of sight of the model(s) directly in front of him. He can wheel and move inside the unit but must leave it to nish the charge. 9. Is closing the door a wheel? A. No. The brb misreferences itself occasionally. 10. Can engaged units ever close the door? A. No. A charge requiring such a maneuver will fail or be undeclarable. 11. Can a player declare an impossible charge? A. Impossible charges may not be declared. Both players should discuss the legality of a wonky looking charge before proceeding with the game. If you already rolled dice/moved

units, attempt to backtrack this, or call the judges and ask them to backtrack or make a ruling on the situation. If there was even a slightest chance the charge might succeed, the charge was legal in the rst place and no backtracking is required. 12. Do characters charging out of a unit with a banner that grants a bonus to a charge move (Steel Standard) benet from the bonus? A. Yes. 13. Does the 1 rule mean more than 1 away or 1 or more away? A. 1 or more away. 14. Non-marching character joins a unit that marched. Can the character shoot? A. Yes. 15. Can a character leave a unit after it performs a swift reform? A. No. 16. Because of the rule that forces characters to go on the front rank, can a character exceed its normal movement distance when he joins a unit? A. You can always move to the rst rank, but when joining a unit try to move up to double of your movement value. If it not possible move as little as possible.

1.3

Magic Phase
A. Yes.

1. Does Steed of Shadows work on mounted heroes?

2. What Leadership value does a model use while under Okkams Mindrazor? A. Use its current Leadership value. That includes Generals Inspiring Presence, augment and hex eects.

Does a character get the 4+ Look out Sir! against direct damage spells and old spells without types that cause hits? A. No. You can only ever gain 4+ Look out Sir! to magic when youre hit by templates.

6. How do the old lores spells work with the general casting restrictions - e.g. can Infernal Gateway be cast outside the forward arc? A. They do NOT require the target to be in the front arc unless it specically mentions so. They cant be cast into close combat unless the spell specically mentions casting into combat being allowed. 7. When can you dispel a Remains in Play spell? A. Right before step 2 or right after step 4 (See: BRB, p.29, Magic Summary). 8.

When a non-template, non-sniper spell causes a wound on a multi-part model (e.g., Soul Stealer), is the wound randomized? A. Yes. 11. If I Windblast a Hellpit Abomination/Doomwheel into another unit, does the other unit take Impact Hits and D6 S3 hits? A. Only D6 S3. 12. Is Winds of Magic rolled before or after applying any items/special rules (which does not generate power or dispel dice) that are triggered at the start of a Magic phase? A. Active player decides. 13. Are spells that draw a straight line templates? A. Yes, treat them like a bouncing cannonball, except that they are not stopped by terrain or units 14.

Are all hits/eects/damage caused by magical items magical attacks? A. Items that directly cause damage or are magic weapons cause magical damage.

Can Net of Amyntok prevent actions that are not movement, shooting or casting? A. No. 25. What sorts of moves trigger Fulminating Flame Cages secondary eect? A. Any and all movement, excluding Make Way movement, challenge refusals and skirmisher contraction. Teleporting with Skitterleap, Hand of Gork or Smoke & Mirrors is not movement for this purpose. Neither is releasing fanatics. Flame Cage doesnt aect hidden models in a unit. 26. Do stomps benet from Flaming Sword or similar spells? A. No. 27. Do the eects of multiple copies of same spells stack? Net of Amyntok, Phas Protection, etc.

A. Yes. Net of Amyntok and Phas Protection for example would now require two tests each time. 28. Brain Bursta has the Direct Damage spell type, but lists Sniper as one of its special rules. Do you need to be able to see the target? A. Yes. 29. Do champions magic items return with the Regrowth spell? A. Yes, as long as it is not a used, one use only item. 30.

2. Can models armed with weird shooty contraptions use them in the shooting phase if they marched? Death Rocket, Brass Orb, etc. A. No. 3. Are shooting attacks the same as ranged attacks? Are ranged attacks shooting attacks? A. Every shooting attack is a ranged attack, but not every ranged attack is a shooting attack.

4. Cannons can only hit 1 model per rank. Does a model on a large base prevent models from being hit in every rank it occupies? A cannon hits two models in the same rank. Which one takes the hit? A. No. For these purposes, a model on a large base is in the rank it is rst hit by the cannon. When hitting multiple models in one rank, the model that was rst hit takes the hit. 5. Can shooting attacks that do not use scatter dice re in a way that it has a chance of hitting friendly models or models in close combat? A. No, unless hitting friendlies is only possible due to misres (such as Doomrocket). 6. Can you place a template in the way that a part of the template is outside of the table? Or if a template scatters by a fraction outside of the table, can it still hit with the part on the table(as long as hole is on the table)? A. Yes. 7.

A. 5 rank-and-le models(not including champion), excluding any special cases like look-out gnoblars. 9. When allocating hits to a unit with a character and less than 5 rank-and-le models who is the controlling player? A. Controlling player is the one who owns the unit. 10. Do war machines have arc of sight? A. Yes. You measure the line of sight as a 90 arc from its chosen ring point. 11. War machines are required to choose a point where the range and line of sight of the machine is measured from. What if a player doesnt nominate the point at the start of a game? What is he allowed to nominate? A. If no point is chosen, measure from the center of the war machine base. Players are not allowed to choose war machine corners as shot originating points. Strive to nominate a point where from its easy to measure distances and los, somewhere in the middle/center parts of the machine. 12. Do Ironblasters, Scraplaunchers and similar units that re like war machines need to choose a point at the start of the match where the shot and los originate like war machines? A. Their shot (los, range, etc.) originates from the center of their bases frontage.

13. Is a model within the forest (or other terrain) if its only partially within it? A. Any unit needs to have at least half its footprint in/behind cover-granting terrain to benet from cover. 14. Are models that re similarly to war machines, like Ironblaster, Hellcannon, Steam Tank and so on, forced to pivot before ring? A. Yes, except the Steam Tank, which may only re directly forwards.

1.5

Close Combat Phase

mise like shooting? Do wounds carry over from one type to another? A. Remove targeted type of model. Wounds do not carry over.

1. How are CC casualties removed inside Squig Herds and similar mixed units? Do they rando-

2. Does a aming close combat wound prevent regeneration from other non-aming attacks with the same initiative? A. No. 3. Can 4 monstrous infantry/cavalry/beasts be chosen for assault party? A. No. You would count as having chosen over ten models then. 4. Can a model make a supporting attack through a model that occupies several ranks, if these models normally couldnt make a support attack from their rank? A. No. 5. When a monsters & handlers unit is attacked to the ank, how many handlers can ght if not all the creatures are in base contact to enemy? A. All handlers can ght. 6. When eeing from combat is the eeing done center to center, resulting in odd angles of ee and pursuit moves? A. Yes. 7. Can a unit combat reform to turn its side or rear towards the enemy, giving the enemy the ank/rear attack bonus? A. Yes. 8. Can units slide sideways during combat reforms? A. Yes. Remember that no models that were initially in base to base contact with an enemy, can be left out of base to base contact, due to a reform. This counts for individual rank and le models too, and does not just refer to the number of models ghting! Remember, btb models

must remain btb to someone after the reforms, but they dont have remain btb to the same models as before it. 9. On p. 102 of the BRB, for the section titled Fighting a Challenge, should any mention of character be read as character(s) or champion(s)? A. Yes. 10. How do -1/+1 to hit kind of eects apply in situations where units hit on a xed number, such as Annoyance of Netlings? A. They are not applied. 11. A unit has a model with a deeper than the unit base sitting on one ank, and gets charged to the other ank. Can the chargers hit the large model across the gap? A. Yes. 12. Model inicts impact hits on a solo character in an existing challenge with a dierent model. Do the impact hits wound the character? A. Characters in an ongoing challenge cannot be attacked by other models in combat. So no impact or stomp hits on them. Champions will still die if enough wounds are caused to destroy their whole unit. 13. Should units in pursuit stop when they come within 1 of obstructions, not just when they hit them, assuming no enemy was reached further away? A. Yes. 14. How many models does a character on 50mm x 50mm mount displace when he does a make way-move in a 25mm based unit? A. Up to 4. 15. Unit breaks from close combat but is immediately Caught!. How do the pursuers move? A. Simulate the ee path, then pursuers move towards the path. 16. Can you parry breath weapons in cc, abominations attack table results 1-2 and 5-6, Kdaai demon re, GUO pestilent mucus or similar eects? A. Yes. Any units that cause hits to base-to-base contact during close combat phase can be parried, unless otherwise mentioned. 17. A challenge-accepting model needs to move to face the challenger. Can it displace a character and put it anywhere in the front rank (or closest to front rank if full of command and other characters)? A. Can displace, but the moving character/champion only switches places with the displaced character/champion.

18. When several units are pursuing a eeing enemy, they tend to bump and block each other when pivoting to face the center of the eeing enemy. Does this mean they do not move at all? A. No. While pursuing, ignore obstructions during the initial pivot and movement to clear it. Do not ignore other obstructions after clearing the initial one. 19. If a unit U1 in multiple ght drops out of btb with enemy E1, but is still in contact with enemy E2, does U1 or E1 nudge back in contact? What if the E1 was also engaged with U2? A. Varying battleeld conditions make it impossible to answer these exhaustively. Try to follow this general principle: Players should strive to keep ghting units in base contact with each other after any casualty removal, if at all possible. If weirdness follows, call a judge. 20. Can you break the 1 rule with combat reforms? A. No, except with regards to the units youre in combat with (friends or enemies). 21. Are combat reforms of one player simultaneous? In other words, can units switch places during it? A. No. 22. Can you attack a challenge refusing character, if hes exposed after removing casualties? A. Yes. The character cannot attack back.

Owner of the victims allocates the hits as usual. 3. Whats a hit with regards to Charmed Shield and Greedy Fist? A. Anything that would then roll to wound, or auto-wound with poison or similar eect. All templates cause hits. Feedback Scrolls and Spirit Leeches do not cause hits, as an example. 4. Does Earthing Rod and similar items cancel out eects that force re-rolls of miscasts? A. Yes, though only once for earthing rod. 5. The Charmed Shield is one use only. Can it still be used as a shield after the 2+ ward save has been taken? A. Yes, it can be used further and counts as a magical shield with no special properties.

6. Can a magic weapon ever gain Flaming Attacks or Poisoned Attacks where the magic weapon itself does not confer such benet? A. No. 7. Does a character with a magical lance always use the lance? A. Yes, unless stated otherwise. You only get +2S on the charging round, though. 8. Can a Wizard use Dispel Scroll while he is a frog from Sivejirs Hex Scroll? A. No. 9.

Are wounds caused by the Feedback Scroll ranged attacks? A. Yes. 13. Does Ironcurse Icon protect against Anvil of Doom? A. No. 14.

1.7

Special Rules
to being blocked by other models and the 1 rule? A. Random movers may not end their initial pivot within 1 of other units, unless the direction they choose to pivot in would bring them into contact with that unit (either with the pivot or a 1 move forward), in which case they charge it as usual.

2. Does a monster, chariot or unique mount die if the rider is slain with Heroic Killing Blow? A. No. 3. Are Monsters & Handlers units handler models counted towards Heavy Casualties panic test, 25% limit for rallying or half VP from being reduced to 25 %? A. No. 4. What happens if Monsters & Handlers unit assigns more wounds on handlers than there are left? A. Excess wounds are lost. You stop randomizing in the next initiative step or shot/spell/eect. 5. Does immunity to Killing Blow also protect from Heroic Killing Blow? A. Yes. 6. Are both the rider and mount subject to Frenzy, Hatred or Primal Fury if the rules and Q&As dont specify either?

No. Model on a hill does not extend the hill with parts of its base that are not on it. 4. A unit refuses to conform to convenient rulebook examples and stands really weird, sideways, on or next to an obstacle. How does the obstacle give penalties in close combat?

A. Ignore the obstacle in combat, unless the defending unit is clearly lined against the obstacle (in btb), on the other, longer side of it. In these situations, if the units frontage is wider than the obstacle, enemies attacking models on completely uncovered frontage suer no penalties. 5. Does Cavalry and similar take 2 Dangerous Terrain tests from forests and similar if under the eects of Curse of Anraheir? A. Yes. 6. When exactly do you take Dangerous Terrain tests? A. For gaming convenience, whenever you enter a Dangerous Terrain with all models that would enter it during the move.

1.9

Formations and Characters

A. No.

1. May a partial last rank contain gaps?

2. If a partial last rank is charged to the rear by a slim unit, at a location where there is no last rank models, will the last rank models shift sideways to block the unit if possible? A. No. The charger stops at the level of last rank and ghts over the gap. Distances (charges, etc.) to the unit are still measured normally. 3.

Can two or more with dierent base size characters join a unit and be placed on the same side of the unit? How does ghting to the ank work with these formations? A. No. Only 2 characters with mismatching bases can join such units, one on each side of front rank. When ghting to ank, models are assumed to be able to attack across the gap, similar to ghting incomplete rear ranks.

7. Can characters get a Look Out, Sir! roll from unique units, such as skinks & kroxigors or giant rat packs? A. Yes. 8. Is a character on a pegasus or a disc ying cavalry? A. No. 9. Where is the center of a unit with an incomplete last rank? A. Assume the last rank is complete. 10. Can characters join unique units? A. Yes, the units type alone does not prevent them to join the unit. 11. Is there space in the front rank for a character that should displace 2 models from it, if theres 2 non-command, non-character models, but theyre not next to each other? A. Yes. Move the Command Group and/or other characters and put the big character in the front rank.

1.10

Units front arc is also its line of sight, limited by possible obstructions. 4. When do you have to decide whether to use Inspiring Presence for a leadership test? A. Before rolling the test. If no declaration is made, assume highest available ld was used. Note that players might agree to roll the test even before this declaration, to skip possibly pointless analysis paralysis.
