Title: NightShroud
Description: Impact Hits
Hoof&Mouth - August 23, 2009 03:34 AM (GMT)
Just got done playing a VC army and am wondering what you guys think of the
Nightshroud and chariots. Turn one he runs his Vampire out of a unit of ghouls
18" toward my side. I shrug and charge him with 2 chariots. After movement
I prepare to roll some impact hits and smoke his Vampire when he tells me
that I dont get impact hits due to nightshroud. After about 10 minutes of discussing
it I just say OK. What do you think?

I think you wouldn't get the Impact Hits... :unsure:

From now on, when he deploys his vampires, ask him if any of them are wearing light armour. Nightshroud is the only light armour a vampire character can get. If any is wearing it, they must have the nightshroud.

Aw take the fun right out of it.

Believe me, that game was anything but fun. except for when 2 Giants charged a
unit of ghouls with the corpse cart and both jumped up and down poping the unit
with combat res.

Nice! Jumping up and down is the best.
Until your scrappie bolts and rams the butt of your giant and explodes, as mine did in my last tourney...twice!

Giants are my favorite unit in Warhammer. Mine have developed a disposition
for Heralds haveing eaten a Khorne and squached a Slanesh hearald in his last 2 outings.

Well, theoretically he is right.
If he rolls enough 1's on dice he will always win and no one would ever wound a giant in CC, so-he is theoretically right. :D
Especially against armies that have no shooting. :D
On theme-no impact hits.
Items that can be recognized by their special/additional rules:
Nightshroud is the only light armour.
Walach bloody hauberk (4+AS, 5+ ward) is only full plate armour-should VC say that vamp wears full plate??
Crown of the damned (4+ ward) is only way VC can have stupidity.
I dont know where flayed hauberk (2+ AS) goes-light, heavy, something else?
Dont know is there anything else on VC.

Addition from ETC rules:
"- Charging chariots do not deal impact hits to a character wearing the nightshroud. Such a character is not immune to impact hits which are not the result of a charge (the steam tanks grinding, or a fleeing chariot). Impact hits which strike the character after being randomized are ignored."
Of course, if you dont consider ETC as official rules you can argue. :D

I completely agree with the interpretation - but the ETC are in no way an official rules source lol.
