Hey guys! After the 6th Edition one became obsolete, I have decided that it is necessary to create a 7th Edition FAQ. I will update this constantly, and I am relying on you guys to contribute.

So... get those questions coming!

Rune of the True Beast "whats a monster" question.

How to handle combo charges including beast herds.

Thanks for that gjnoronh! I only put int he most recent Rune of the True beast discusion, as it contains a link to the other one.

Some of the questions in the old FAQ are still viable( like how does mark mixing works), so they could be copied in to here.

Alright, I'll look over them at some point, when I am less busy.

Are tzeentch marked characters shamans

http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...?showtopic=8627

Can a Tzeentch _BSB_ take staff of darkoth?

And are tzeentch marked characters shamans (with page references)

Very useful thread, enjoyed reading through the links...

however, I find the link to "how to handle combo charges..." is broken. It says Board Does Not Exist...


I figured out the problem, though:

the link should be this

http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...?showtopic=7867

instead of this (which it is now)

Glad to be able to contribute, and thanks for your attention :)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention Heldane. I'll fix that.

another multiple chargers against herds but it says the same sort of stuff as the last I believe

Can someone pin a clear answer to the magic resistance of a unit and how it works with spells that have an area of effect, question?

I know it's been discussed, but I 'm not sure we have reached to a solution..
I know I' m not contributing by asking, but this unclear rule has recently cost me the anihilation of an expensive unit and probably the loss of the whole battle and will probably annoy many other players.

Thanks!

hmmm well what if there isn't a clear answer? We can pin the discussion - but it may not help you make a decision.

At the Colonial GT I went to Matt York the organizer and winner of 7 or so GT's went with if the model with MR is effected by an area of effect spell then the MR kicks in.

MR does kick in if the unit is being affected when it is being cast.

Examples of when MR would work in an area affect:
Light: Cleansing Flame (Flare?)
Death: Drain Life.
Skaven: Pestilent Breath

These have set areas of affect and do not change. Thus, MR is used.

Examples of When MR cannot be used:
Heavens: Comet (unless the original target spot is on a unit, then I think you could).
Skaven: Plague, unless the original target had the MR. But 2nd unit onward, nope.
Big Waaagh: Gorks Warpath, unless you were the original target.
Skaven: Vermintide, unless the original placement of the template is touching the MR unit. Otherwise, it is created and then it moves forward, there is no guarantees it will ever hit the MR unit, so it cannot be used.

So the basic guidelines is:
1. If it is a fixed area of affect and you are in it, then yes you may use it.
2. If it is a moving or variable area of affect, you may not use it unless you are in the original area of affect.

3. And don't forget if there is a RIP spell on a unit with MR, ie. Flames of the Phoenix, you may use your MR for future dispel attempts.

Hope that helps,
Setrad

Thanks guys!
I think it's as clear as it gets, given the non existence of official GW clarification...

Cheers!

another RoTB discussion

Whoops here's the link

A second Dark heart and frenzy discussion
http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...0&#entry3925198

Just want to encourage folks to read the FAQ's . . .though it might be easier if we just collated the answers and then referenced the discussions.

Added the undivided reroll to rally tests question to the list.

What size base do I use for X

http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer/bas.../base-chart.pdf

Isn't that the old one? Just wondering as I think the hig-elf dragon base is wrong ;)

For the large targets, you can pretty much add "or more" to any of the 50mm lines, since newer kits are coming out with different base sizes.

@CountArach:Check your PM, your first link in the first post is wrong. :)

bump :)

How does Indigo fire work now that there is a new book for daemons of chaos:

http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...showtopic=14658

Need to correct links in Arach's post to FAQ's

main page
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/...3000006&start=2

main rules FAQ
http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...02_Edition.pdf`

MoCU and psychology tests
http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...02&f=14&t=16348

You can probably remove
"MORTALS

Knights of Chaos
Do the steeds of Knights of Chaos of Khorne get an additional attack?"

unless you want the FAQ to be backward compatiable.
