SKAVEN FAQ Development.. Rat with Tzatziki Development

Παραθέτω τη λίστα των ερωτήσεων του Dire Wolf development, και θα τη κάνω update τακτικά. Στο τέλος θα προσθέτω και επιπλέον ζητήματα που πιθανόν να προκύπτουν από τη κοινότητα μας. Παρακαλείστε να προτείνετε σε αυτό το thread ΝΕΕΣ ερωτήσεις έχοντας ψάξει το θέμα πρώτα καλά σε BRB και skaven ΑΒ και έχοντας εντοπίσει ανεπάρκεια κανόνων. Δεδομένων των στενών χρονικών ορίων προτείνω η λίστα αυτή να παραμείνει ανοικτή μέχρι και τh 15 Νοε 23:59 . 16 στέλνω τη φόρμα στους υπευθύνους, μαζεύω τα results μέχρι τις 18. Συζητάμε- ξεκατινιαζόμαστε -συμφωνούμε για τυχόν διχογνωμίες και 20 γίνεται release. Είναι λίγο tight, η λογική είναι να επιτρέψει στους skaven παίκτες -και στις ομάδες τους- να λάβουν υπόψη τους το FAQ για τη κατάθεση της λίστας τους στις 22. Comments are most welcome. Επίσης θερμή παράκληση ΟΧΙ debates εδώ, μόνο ερωτήσεις για να γίνεται και η ζωή μου πιο εύκολη. Αν χρειαστεί θα φτιάξω ξεχωριστό topic για ξεμάλλιασμα.

The Questions

Throughout the book, the rules say that models "touched" by a template are hit. Does this mean that Skaven templates never cause partial hits?
Commentary : This is a marked departure from the standard rules, and leads to a 3" template inflicting 200-300% more guaranteed hits than would normally be expected.
S. Rulebook pp28, Warhammer Armies:Skaven

The Bestiary

Special Rules

Can Skaven characters that refuse a challenge continue to use magic items and other abilities while in the rear ranks?
Commentary : The “Verminous Valour” rule refers only to leadership and battle standards, and makes no reference to other advantages, all of which are lost when a character refuses a challenge.
S. Rulebook pp77, Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp33

For the purposes of “Strength in Numbers”, what is a Leadership-based test?
Commentary : Leadership-based test is undefined in the rules, and it is unclear whether it includes any roll involving Leadership (Banshee's Howl, Light of Death, etc) or only “tests” as defined in the rulebook.
S. Rulebook pp5, Warhammer Armies:Skaven ppXX

The Scavenge Pile

Does "Poisoned Attacks" benefit a character's mount?
Commentary: The rule says that all close combat attacks made by the model are poisoned. and lists some exceptions. Mounts are not among these exceptions, and a character and mount are a single model.
S. Rulebook pp7,59 Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp33

Can models purchase more than one of each item in the Scavenge Pile?
Commentary : No limitation is placed on purchases other than a points limit - this means a Lord can potentially purchase 20 rat-hounds for +20 S3 attacks.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven ppXX

Units

The cornered rats rule states that Slave units inflict an extra hit per rank of slaves behind the first. If a unit is in single file, does this mean a unit of 20 slaves inflicts D3+19 hits on all units in range?
Commentary : A unit in single file has a number of ranks equal to the number of models in the unit. Note that "rank bonus" would mean that slaves engaged to the flank or rear might not cause these hits, so a wording like "each rank of 5 or more models behind the first" would be required to preserve them.
S. Rulebook pp6, Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp36

Are Skaven units immune to panic caused by enemy slave shooting?
Commentary : Expendable states that “All skaven units are immune to panic caused by slaves”.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp36

If a template weapon fires into combat under Expendable, how are hits distributed?
Commentary: Expendable states that all hits are randomised. This could lead to a small unit taking more hits than there are models in the unit because the template covers a large number of slaves. The rulebook rules for resolving templates in combat only cover accidental shots into combat.
S. Rulebook pp26, Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp36

Do Rat Swarms block line of sight to other rat swarms? Do they block the line of sight of other rat swarms?
Commentary : The small rule states that Rat Swarms never block line of sight, but this leads to rat swarms being both taller and smaller than other rat swarms simultaneously. Contrast this with "Large Target", where large targets block LOS to and from other Large Targets.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp37

What is the unit strength and base size of a character riding a War-litter?
Commentary : the rules do not specify.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp39

If a Screaming Bell is purchased in an army without any Clanrats or Stormvermin, what happens?
Commentary : The rules say it must be deployed in a unit of clanrats or stormvermin, but it can be bought without either being in the army.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp43

Once a Screaming Bell has been wounded by a missile of S5 or more, will it ring every phase thereafter?
Commentary : The “Ringing the Bell” rule says to roll once per phase, regardless of the number of hits. Zero hits is therefore included.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

Is the Bell/Furnace a monster? If not, what is it (infantry?), and what is its unit strength?
Commentary: The bell is a mount with more than one wound and is not a chariot, so is a monstrous mount by definition.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

What manoeuvres, if any, are permitted with the D6” of movement granted by the “Unholy Clamour” and “Avalanche of Energy” results on the Bell chart?
Commentary : No restrictions are placed on the movement – this would appear to allow a free reform, turns, etc.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

Are buildings which collapse due to "Deafening Peals" removed in the same way as buildings affected by Cracks Call?
Commentary : The rules say to treat models as for Cracks Call, but does not specify what happens to the building, if anything.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

How are impact hits distributed against a unit pushing a Screaming Bell (or Plague Furnace)? Do they hit only the unit, are the split evenly, or something else?
Commentary : Ordinarily impact hits are distributed as shooting, yet when shooting at a unit containing a character/mount with US5 or more, the shooter chooses which to target.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

What is the Leadership value of a Screaming Bell/Plague Furnace?
Commentary : It appears that these models have a Leadership of 0, which would mean a single hit from the Blade of Realities would destroy it, as it auto-fails any Leadership test.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

Are the Screaming Bell and Plague Furnace Unbreakable?
Commentary : The rules for these models make the rider and unit pushing them Unbreakable, but it would appear that if alone (because the unit/rider have been killed) the model is subject to psychology and break tests, which it will automatically fail as it has Leadership 0.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

Can more than one Bell or Furnace be placed in a single unit?
Commentary : The rules do not specify.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

If the Grey Seer or Plague Priest riding a bell or furnace is killed, is the bell/furnace ejected fromthe unit at the end of the phase?
Commentary : The bell/furnace is a mount, and ordinarily mounts are ejected if the rider dies as the unit formed is illegal. However, this would lead to the bell/furnace being alone with M0 and Ld0. The rules state that the unit and bell/furnace cannot separate voluntarily, but ejection is not voluntary.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

May characters (other than those on the bell/furnace) join a unit pushing a bell or furnace?
Commentary : Characters cannot join units that are unbreakable
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp43

If a friendly model finds itself in base contact with a Plague Censer Bearer at the start of the combat phase but neither model/unit is in combat, must the friendly model test for damage?
Commentary : The rules for Censers state only that base contact is required, not combat.
S.Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp46

If a character buys both a Plague Censer and a magic weapon, must models in base contact still test for damage from the Censer?
Commentary : The Censer rules say that any model in base contact with the bearer of a censer must test. A model with a magic close combat weapon must use it, but it is not clear whether that supersedes the character being the bearer of the censer.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp46

What is the Stubborn Ld value of Plague Censer bearers if they are within 6" of a plague monk unit and 12" of the Plague Furnace. Stubborn Ld 5, or up to Stubborn Ld 8 (depending on rank bonus).
Commentary - The Plague disciple rules state that the Plague monks are able to modify their own Ld value with that of the Plague Monks' rank bonus. However, the stubborn rules (pg 53) state that Stubborn units use the Ld value on their profile (Ld 5 in this case)
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp46, Rulebook pp53

When a model with a Plague Censer causes a wound on a ridden monster or other model with separate targetable components, how is the damage distributed?
Commentary : A model in base contact with one or more censers takes a wound on a failed toughness test. A ridden monster is a single model, so it appears it would take one wound on the toughness most likely to pass the test, but no instruction is given on how to distribute that damage.
S. Warhammer Armies : Skaven pp46

If a Plagueclaw Catapult or Warplightning Cannon is targeted with Rancid Visitation, which Toughness is used?
Commentary : The Skaven rules say to use the machine's Toughness when targeted by spells, however Rancid Visitation says to use the lowest toughness, a direct contradiction.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp47

If a Plague Furnace is purchased in an army with no plague monks, what happens?
Commentary : The rules say that the Furnace must be deployed in a unit of Plague Monks, however it is possible to purchase it without any plague monks being present.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp49

Can a Plague Furnace assault buildings?
Commentary : The Furnace rules say that it is moved like a Screaming Bell, but it is not clear whether this includes the ability to assault buildings
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Can "Billowing Death" be used when the unit marches?
Commentary : It is a shooting attack, and so the default would be no, however it is similar to a breath weapon.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

How many attacks does the Plague Furnace gain from Frenzy?
Commentary : Frenzy ordinarily gives +1 attack to each component of a multipart model (such as a chariot). It is unclear how many Plague Monks crew the Furnace.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Are the hits inflicted by “Enshrouded by Fog” resolved each combat phase, or only once at the start of combat?
Commentary : The rule states “at the start of any close combat”, which would indicate the latter.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Is the Wrecker Attack only resolved once it is determined that all enemy units are fleeing or wiped out and the combat has ended?
Commentary : The Wrecker Attack "happens last in any close combat the Plague Furnace is involved in".
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp49

Are the wounds caused on the Plague Monk unit pushing the Furnace by “Maddening Fumes” counted towards combat resolution? If so, which side's?
Commentary : The rule only mentions counting casualties caused by the extra round of attacks.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Do we count wounds or casualties towards combat resolution when “Maddening Fumes” is resolved?
Commentary : Ordinarily one point of combat resolution is scored per wound, however the Maddening Fumes Rule says to count casualties, not wounds.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Is the "Wrecker Attack" optional? If so, when do we decide to use it or not, at the beginning of the close combat or after all other blows are struck?
Commentary : Models must normally attack in combat, however the Wrecker uses the word "can", which indicates it may be optional.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp49

Can a unit of Night Runners accompanied by a character make a "Slinking Advance" move?
Commentary : The rules do not specify
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp50

Do we add +1 to the roll for “Sneaky Infiltrators” per turn or per game turn?
Commentary : The rulebook tells us to treat any occurrence of “turn” as “player turn” unless specified otherwise.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp51, Rulebook pp10

Can an Assassin hide in an enemy unit?
Commentary: The rules say any assassin can hide in any unit of Slaves, Clanrats, Night Runners, Stormvermin or Gutter Runners, and does not specify that it must be a friendly unit.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp52

Can Assassins be revealed only when the unit hiding them is in combat?
Commentary : The placement rules only allow assassins to be placed where they can fight.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp52

How are ranks determined for Rat Ogre packs (Mixed Unit, what size base is used for the model count)?
Commentary: Now that we have precedent from the Lizardmen their Mixed Units rule explicitly uses the smallest base in the unit. Rat Ogre's Mixed Unit rule makes no mention in any way. The "Running with the Pack" rule exempts the number of Packmasters, but does not specify which base size is used for counting "spaces" in the ranks.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp53, Warhammer Armies:Lizardmen pp41

Can a Master Moulder be placed in the rear ranks of a unit?
Commentary: Master Moulders are champions in all respects. Champions must be placed in the front rank of a unit, and the unit has no special rules to override this.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp53, Rulebook pp80

If a Rat Pack has no remaining Packmaster and has no visible enemy to move towards, must it reform to face the closest enemy even if it is not possible to draw line of sight to that enemy?
Commentary : The rule specifies only the closest enemy, and not the closest enemy in line of sight.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp54

Do Rat Ogres and Giant Rats lose the Strength in Numbers rule when unaccompanied by a Packmaster or Master Moulder?
Commentary : The Rat Pack and Beast Pack rules state that while a Packmaster/MM remains with the unit the unit can use his Ld and SiN rule. However, the units have the SiN rule themselves.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp54,55

Is a Master-Bred Rat Ogre considered a champion? If so, does this mean a Rat Ogre Pack can have two champions? If not, how are wounds distributed to the unit? Must an opponent allocate attacks to specific Rat Ogres, and do wounds carry over between the Master-Bred Ogre and the unit and vice versa?
Commentary : The rules do not state either way if the Master-Bred Ogre is a champion. If he is not, then the rules do not specify how to handle the mixed unit.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp55

How far does an Abomination flee and pursue?
Commentary : The rules do not specify
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp56,57

Are the rat swarms generated by “The Rats Emerge” worth any victory points?
Commentary: No mention is made of their value
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp57

The “Berserk Abomination” result “Blind Fury” addresses the situation where the random movement takes the Abomination off the table. Does this mean that the Abomination leaves the table if it contacts the edge when under the influence of "Berserk Abomination"?
Commentary : The table edge is impassable unless fleeing or pursuing, and the Abomination rules make no mention of overriding that rule - it would appear the clause that deals with this situation is redundant, as the table edge is impassable and the Abomination already has rules that deal with contacting impassable terrain.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp57, Rulebook pp15

When an Abomination flees, does it pass through friendly units or stop as specified by "Shambling Horror"? If it passes through, does it cause impact hits?
Commentary : The rules state it inflicts impact hits and moves back 1", but fleeing units normally pass through friendlies.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp57

What is the base size of an abomination?
Commentary : The rules do not specify and there is no model available. It should be noted that spawn-like movement with a non-square base is quite problematic.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp57

Does a Warlock Engineer's ability to swap one spell for Warp Lightning replace the normal ability to swap one spell for the first in the Lore?
Commentary : The Grey Seer rules explicitly state that they can swap for either Skitterleap or the 13th spell, and the High Elf Dragon Mage says that the ability to swap for Flaming Sword replaces the normal ability of wizards to take the first spell. The Skaven rules appear to give the ability in addition to the default ability of all wizards.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp58, Rulebook pp111

What range is used for a Warpfire Thrower's Stand and Shoot reaction?
Commentary : Stand and Shoot reactions are resolved as soon as the charger comes into range, however the Warpfire Thrower has no fixed range.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp60

Does a "Bbbbrrrrrttt!" result include the shots from the dice that caused the misfire?
Commentary : The "Spins Wildly" result explicitly states that it does, but the "Bbbbrrrrrttt!" result does not.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp61

Are the shots from a “Spin Wildly” result limited by the weapon's range?
Commentary : The result says the first unit in the rolled direction, with no mention of range.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp61

At what strength are impact hits from the Doom-Flayer resolved?
Commentary : The rules for impact hits state to resolve impact hits at the strength of the model (in this case 3), however the doom-flayer normally inflicts S4 hits at -2 to armour saves in combat.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp62

If a Warp-grinder or the unit it accompanies emerges beneath an enemy unit and there is no room to place the emerging unit in contact with the front of the enemy unit, what happens?
Commentary : The front may be obstructed by other units, impassable terrain, or other features.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp64

Does the placement of a Warp-Grinder marker count as a deployment when players a taking turns to deploy one unit at a time?
Commentary: The "Deploying via Tunnel" rule says that the marker is placed during deployment, but does not specify oif this counts for such purposes.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp64

Are Weapons Teams and Jezzails cavalry? If not, what is their Unit Strength, and what arc of sight do Weapons Teams and lone Jezzails have?
Commentary : These models are mounted on 25x50mm bases, which under the normal rules makes them cavalry
S. Rulebook pp7 Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp65

What is the Doomwheel's Unit Strength? Is it a monster?
Commentary: The doomwheel is a monster by the rulebook definition.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp67

How does a Doomwheel charge?
Commentary : The movement rules state that if the Doomwheel comes into contact with an enemy, it will inflict impact hits. However, no details are given regarding whether this counts as a charge, whether the enemy is permitted a charge reaction, or any of the other information required to resolve such movement. In addition, without such language, the Doomwheel can never touch enemy units, as it must stop 1" away when not charging.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp67

Can an out of control doomwheel leave the gaming table?
Commentary : The table edge is impassable unless fleeing or pursuing, and the Doomwheel rules make no mention of an exception. The clause covering return to the table seems redundant, as the Doomwheel rules say that the model stops on contact with impassable terrain.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp67

If a Doomwheel suffers more than 1 wound in a phase, and subsequently rolls more than one 1 for “Loss of Control”, does it make one “Out of Control” move per 1 rolled, or only one regardless of the number of 1s rolled?
Commentary : The text is unclear
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp67

Can a Doomwheel shoot units in close combat?
Commentary : Ordinarily a unit cannot shoot at enemies in close combat. The Doomwheel always shoots the closest unit, and it is unclear whether this overrides the prohibition.
S. Warhammer Armies :Skaven pp67

When a Doomwheel flees, does it pass through units, or does it stop as specified by "Rolling Doom"? If it passes through, does it inflict impact hits?
Commentary : Rolling Doom states that the Doomwheel stops on contact with enemies, or is pushed back 1" in the case of friendlies. Fleeing units usually pass through enemies (of US 4 or less) and friendlies.


What is the unit strength of the Warp Lightning Cannon?
Commentary : The cannon is a war machine, and so has unit strength equal to the number of crew, however the Cannon has no separate crew.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp68

When a Warp Lightning Cannon suffers an "Energy Overload", is the line that emanates from the barrel "along the ground" considered to be the "bounce", ie are models under the line hit, or only the template?
Commentary : the misfire uses different language to the Cannon and Warp Lightning Cannon, and so it is unclear how to resolve the shot.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp68

Does the -2 Leadership penalty from the Whip of Domination affect the model wounded, or the unit?
Commentary : The text simply says "any enemy that takes an unsaved wound". This could mean the model which would not adversely affect break tests if the unit all has the same Leadership, or the unit which would.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp70

Is "Verminous Bodyguard" resolved once at the beginning of a combat, or each combat round?
Commentary : The text indicates the former.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp71

If Queek is engaged in a challenge with a model with T2 or less, does he automatically wound that model?
Commentary : Queek is S4, meaning that normally he would wound a T2 model on 2+, but his special rules grant him +1 to wound in a challenge. There is no "1 always fails" on to-wound rolls.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp72

If Dwarf-Gouger is destroyed by some means, is Queek's attack profile reduced?
Commentary : Dwarf Gouger's rules include an additional hand weapon, with the +1 attack already represented in Queek's profile.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp72

Can Tretch use “Stay Here, I'll Get Help!” to join or leave a unit in combat?
Commentary : Characters cannot normally join or leave units in combat
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp73

What happens if Snikch is undetected and is in the path of movement other than a charge?
Commentary : Snikch is moved out of the way of charges, but if he stands 1” in front of a unit it appears he can prevent them moving forward despite being invisible.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp75

Skaven Magic

Does Scorch "target" the point at which the template is placed?
Commentary : Whether it targets or not is important for various effects (Ring of Hotek for instance).
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp78

Is the template for Scorch placed before or after the spell is successfully cast?
Commentary : Ordinarily range is checked after the casting roll and dispel attempts, which would mean that the template is placed before rolling, and the spell fails if it is later found to be outside range. It is unclear which is the case in this instance.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp78

Are eligible characters permitted a "Look Out, Sir!" roll against Cracks Call?
Commentary: "Look Out, Sir!" applies to war machines that do not use BS, and to spells that use templates. Crack's Call does not use a template. Burning Head is similar, but expressly uses the cannon rules for working out hits, thus triggering "LO,S!".
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp78

Must a building be in the path of the crack from Cracks Call to risk collapse?
Commentary : The spell only says that "Buildings collapse on the roll of a 5+", citing no requirement that those buildings be touched by the crack.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp78

Must models in a building hit by Crack's Call take an Initiative test regardless of whether the building collapses?
Commentary : The wording of the rule seems to place the two occurrences in separate clauses, much as the "Steal Soul" spell grants a wound to the caster even if the target passes his saves.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp78

What effect (if any) does Cracks Call have on models (such as the Casket of Souls, Cauldron of Blood, Anvil of Doom) which ignore ranged attacks or hits?
Commentary: The Casket of Souls, the Cauldron of Blood, the Anvil of Doom are all war machines which have immunity to ranged attacks, hits, and attacks respectively. It is unclear whether Cracks Call overrides any or all of these immunities. Cracks call does not inflict hits, and it is unclear whether it is an "attack".
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp78

If a unit that has Wither cast upon it subsequently has models added to it (Undead for example), are these models affected by the reduction in Toughness? If not, how is the mixed unit handled?
Commentary : Models not in the unit at the time of casting do not appear to be affected by the spell
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

If a character is in a unit tht has Wither cast upon it and subsequently leaves, is the character still affected byt he reduction in Toughness?
Commentary : It is unclear whether the effect that lasts for the rest of the game is "The Toughness of all models in the unit is reduced by -1[sic]" or the effect is simply the reduction in Toughness, ie whether the reduction is predicated on being a member of the unit or not.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

Is the direction for Vermintide chosen before or after rolling the distance?
Commentary : The spell does not specify.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

How are casualties from Curse of the Horned Rat distributed? Can characters in a unit of 5 or more rank and file models be harmed?
Commentary : Spells that cause hits or wounds are distributed as shooting, but Curse inflicts casualties, and so it is unclear how to apportion the damage
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

Is an infantry unit joined by a character on a cavalry or monstrous mount still considered an infantry unit for the purposes of Curse of the Horned Rat? If so, can the character be harmed?
Commentary : It is unclear whether such units are valid targets, and whether the character becomes vulnerable while in the unit.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

Following from the above, if a character on monstrous mount can be so harmed, does the model count as one casualty or two?
Commentary : The rules treat ridden monsters as single models and multiple models for different purposes, and it is unclear which would apply in this case.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

If a unit is wiped out by Curse of the Horned Rat, must the resulting clanrat unit be placed in the same formation and facing as the destroyed unit?
Commentary: The rules do not specify.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp79

Skaven Army List

Can a Warlock engineer buy 2 warplock pistols, since he has access to them as an equipment upgrade and also from his point allowance in the scavenge pile? If so, do they follow the rules for a brace of pistols?
Commentary: The rules place no restriction.
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp100,33

Several models have magic items named as options (Warlock Engineers with Augmented Weapons, Bombardiers with Death Globes, etc.). Are these items non-unique, ie can several models be equipped with them?
Commentary : Magic items are unique unless otherwise stated. These options are magic items, and so are unique, but the manner in which they are listed is unconventional which suggests that they are intended to be exceptional, but no exception is listed.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp100&105, Rulebook pp120

Can a chieftain battle standard bearer carry a magic banner and also take items from the Scavenge-Pile?
Commentary : The Chieftain has access to up to 50 points of scavenge-pile items, and the rules say he cannot take both a a magic banner and other magic items. Scavenge Pile items are explicitly not magic items
S. Warhammer Armies: Skaven pp101,33

Can a unit of Giant Rats or Rat Ogres upgrade a Packmaster to Skweel if the unit has already upgraded a Packmaster to Master Moulder, and vice versa?
Commentary : Ordinarily a unit can contain only one champion upgrade, but the options appear to allow both a MM and Skweel in one unit.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp103

When Gutter Runners buy poisoned attacks, do their ranged attacks become poisoned, their combat attacks, or both?
Commentary - The poison special rules state to refer to the unit entry in the army books for clarification, and the Skaven book doesn't specify whether both are effected.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp104,51, Rulebook pp95

Tools of Supremacy

In what circumstances can the Blade of Corruption wound the bearer?
Commentary : The rules say that the Blade wounds its bearer if any to-hit roll contains more than one 1. A to-hit roll is by definition the roll of a single dice, and so it is impossible for a to-hit roll to contain 2 or more 1s.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp107

If the bearer of the Blade of Corruption is wounded by the Blade, is he permitted any saves? If so, at what armour save modifier?
Commentary: The Blade does not specify
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp107

If a model wearing Worlds Edge Armour is subject to an attack that does not allow armour saves and kills outright (Blade of Realities, Curse of the Horned Rat), is he saved or does he die?
Commentary : The armour says the wound is discounted, however these attacks do not inflict wounds
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp108

Are Warpstone Tokens "One Use Only"?
Commentary : The rules for the items appear to allow a dice to be added to every casting attempt for each Token a Warlock or Seer purchases.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp108

If a flying unit fails the Leadership test required by Pipes of Piebald, does it move it's full 20"? Does this allow Enemy in the Way on any encountered enemies?
Commentary : Flyers that fail a charge are moved their full 20", however this can obviously lead to odd situations if the 20" move takes the flyers into fresh enemy or even the unit that has the Pipes.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp109

What is the range of Warpstone Stars?
Commentary : No range is listed.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp109

Is a Warp Scroll a scroll as defined in the rulebook?
Commentary : Scrolls can be taken in multiples by multiple models in the same army
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp110

Is the Storm Banner One Use Only?
Commentary: It appears that the banner can be reactivated multiple times. It appears there is nothing preventing it being re-activated the same turn it ends.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp111

Are wounds inflicted by the “Banner of the Under Empire” and the “Shroud of Dripping Death” counted towards combat resolution?.
Commentary: The items do not specify.
S. Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp111

When is a Doomrocket used?
Commentary : The description does not have any instructions as to when it is permitted to be used.
Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp114

Can a Doomrocket be used to stand and shoot? If so, at what range is the shot resolved?
Commentary : S&S is resolved when the enemy come into range. It is unclear whether the Doomrocket is a missile weapon in the traditional sense.
Warhammer Armies:Skaven pp114

------------------------------------------------------GWF Questions follow - MADE IN GREECE--------------------------------------

Το scorch είναι template spell το οποίο γίνεται σε σημείο στις 24'' - μπορείς να βάλει το template επάνω από unit που είναι σε CC?
Σχόλιο: O γενικός κανόνας λέει ότι αυτό μπορεί να γίνει μόνο κατά "τύχη", BRB p. 26, ("ο τι τύχη! πέτυχα 15 black guard me to scorch μου...πάλι!") εκτός αν υπάρχει explicitly εδάφιο στο βιβλίο σου (π.χ.. όπως το παλιό life is cheap ή το "even troops engaged in close combat" δήλωση στα spells) που να στο επιτρέπει. Παρόλαυτα στο ξόρκι γράφει "anywhere within 24''".

Ring of Hotek works against Scorch?
Σχόλιο: Το spell δεν έχει target, τοποθετείς την template όπου θες στις 24''. Θεωρείται ότι η τοποθέτηση γίνεται πριν ή αφού περάσει το spell;
