Rules issues

Only for himself => the rules of the assassins says, that nobody may use his leadership.

I'm not sure. Actually the faq says:


Q: When taking a Leadership test, sometimes you have to take it on
your unmodified Leadership. What is your unmodified Leadership?
(p10)
A: Your unmodified Leadership is the highest Leadership
characteristic in the unit. So the Leadership from any
characters in the unit itself (but not from outside the unit, from
Inspiring Presence for example) with a higher Leadership can
be used unless specifically stated otherwise.


I don't know what exactly says the DE book but "can't use the leadership" doesn't mean that it doesn't count for an unmodified one.

The DE armybook has this " A killer but no leader" special rule for Assissins and there it specifically states that the unit he might be in may not use his LD. I read it the same way as darksteve. Probably translation into different languages mixes that up?

With the mage level it was not my fault because the german faq said it so at this time. I was standing next to biboun in sion and showed him and Jon the German FAQ.
They must changed it meanwhile.

I have a question.

Do i have to take my rerolls? Like hatred, asf or bsb.

For example: if i lose a combat and would flee but the unit is in bsb range. Do i have to reroll the test or may i not use it.

Depends on what exactly is stated for the reroll.

If it says something like you can/may then you do not need to do so.
But if it states something along the line "has to take a reroll" well then you have no choice.

Usualy you have the choice - for example rerolls with the BSB - but I do not know if there are other specific cases with some stuff in other army books.

With ASF in italian version is written "you may re-roll". Maybe would be better to check the english one.


For the BSB I'm sure that you have to reroll each failed test (even casket of doom and others..)

For the BSB I'm sure that you have to reroll each failed test

Would be interested what the english book says to that - german says you may, if I remember correctly.

The English says that :

"Friendly models within 12'' of the BSB re-roll failed leadership test of any kind"

Not really helpful... but for me we should understand as "must re-roll" as Allan said

If i cast speed of light on a unit with a tombking/prince in it. Do they strike with ws 10 or 6/5?

€dited: ... wrong answer

The unit will use the unmodified WS of the king/prince but any character (even the king/prince that boost the unit) will go to WS10.

The unit will use the unmodified WS of the king/prince but any character (even the king/prince that boost the unit) will go to WS10.

You're right. Just checked the armybook and it simply says, that the unit uses the unmodified weapon skill - it's not an option.

Breton lance formation and attacks from rank 3 and behind

How are the attacks mentioned above resolved, when the lance is only in contact with characters say for example an Ogre formation 3 wide with 3 chars in the front rank?
Do they hit the unit or the chars?

My opinion would be that the unit is hit, but would like to be sure.

I don't have the book at hand, but if I remember well the other ranks can attack the same ennemy models that stand in front the of the knight in the first rank, can't they?

Thus, it would be the characters, wouldn't it?

I checked in the army book, the book says nothing special about this, only that the models on the sides can attack when they charge in lance formation. Therefore my opinion is that the models on that flack attack as usual, so as if they would be one the first rank.
So for me they attack the character and not the unit.

2 quick questions:

-Is the anvil of doom considered shooting like a normal wm??

-If you fly over a mangler or a fanatics, is the flying unit considered to get in contact?


Pulps

Well the English and for what it is worth the german army book say on page 41:

"Note that any Knight that is in a position to fight, but is not actually in base contact with an enemy, cannot target specific models to attack."

Hence no character or champion can be attacked and attacks would have to be made against the unit.
The question was/is also controversely discussed in german forums with the majority (even some ETC referees) agreeing to that argument.

"Note that any Knight that is in a position to fight, but is not actually in base contact with an enemy, cannot target specific models to attack."

For me this sentence mean that the nights on the side cannot choose to attack specific model in this way they have to attack the same model as the knights of the first rank.
But I fully understand that is really controversial... We need a good answer

Yeah, I see your point and it sounds logical enough. But in that case the Knight in the first rank is attacking a specific model which is just completing the circle.

In fact, the answer was in the FAQ of the ETC

6. What do Knights in the 3rd+ rank of Lance Formation attack, if the front model is touching only characters and champions?

A. Divide the attacks evenly between the characters/champions in base contact, randomizing the excess.

Another mistery solved

Makes Oger and Breton busses even better.

@2dipicche:
Maybe you remember at our "discussion" at saturday about moving back- or sidewards.
I just checked again in the rulebook and it's clearly written on page 26, left column at the end in the example:

For example, a unit of Elves (Move 5) would be able to move 5" forwards or 3" (2.5" rounded up) backwarods or to the side

That's interesting !

I've always played the 2.5'' version, glad to hear that
