They’ve established in the update that an attack’s characteristics are different than the weapon/model characteristics. May not affect -1 damage or anything that directly affects the attack. Still quite useful though.

​@artkewl03 can you link that please?

@@joshuaadams3811 It’s in the Rules Commentary 1.1 that you can access on the war hammer community downloads page. “Attack’s Characteristics: When making an attack, that attack is considered to have the same characteristics and abilities as the weapon making the attack. If any modifiers apply to the characteristics or abilities of an attack, those changes do not apply to the weapon it is made with, nor do they apply to any other attacks made with that weapon.”

@@joshuaadams3811 On page 17 of the commentary, under “Modifying Characteristics”, they list models, weapons, and attacks as separate things. Morty’s and Trajann’s ability is: “…..you can ignore any or all modifiers to the characteristics of models in that unit and/or any roll or test made for models in that unit….” It states nothing about attacks or weapons specifically.

@@joshuaadams3811 On page 18, it further shows that attacks, models, and weapons are different things. They also throw units into the mix. “Ignoring Modifiers: ….When a rule states ‘you can ignore any or all modifiers’, it will list the characteristics, rolls or tests that you can ignore modifiers for….” The lack of weapons or attacks and only models being mentioned lends itself to -1 damage still taking effect, as well as -1 AP if I’m not mistaken.

This was helpful thanks

that was a giant OOF

Yeah like I understand his logic but it was never going to matter with the norns. 2hrs in and it hasn't come up once I think

Saved me 3 hours, thanks

To be fair I don't think having all 3 options would have done much.

Was definitely the right choice, and came up several times

He needed to move down each floor unless he advanced and got a great roll. Maybe I missed it.

​@@SWARMXIII Theire are 3 floors, each one at 3', so 9', a PM move of 5, he needed to move of 16 for this move... ^^

So long as 1 unit targeted by the strat is in range enemy units shot in that contagion range gain heavy and ignores cover rules

In theory no but the last time they fought it was on a paradise world and what ended up happening is they both plagued and poisoned the air so much that both sides died and turned into a liquid pool. Only thing left was the hive fleet itself. The fleet tried to send a tendril down to collect and the second it entered the atmosphere the tendril immediately shriveled up because of how toxic and diseased the air is from both sides so the hive fleet was forced to go hungry. Tyranids won that fight but obviously in the perspective of war overall Nurgel won because most of his forces will come back where as the Tyranids lost biomass which for them is bad. However to be fair I think it was a hive fleet that's not designed to fight chaos like hive fleet Kronos is. If I had to guess the hive fleet I would guess Medusa because of the fact venomthropes were being used a lot which is pretty on brand for Medusa which specializes in poison and parasitic attacks. Keep in mind any hive fleet can do parasites and poisons it's just that Medusa fleet really loves that particular fighting style.

You're correct. The Termagant's Skulking Horrors is D6", NOT 6"

A lot of times, they will put models on the top floor just so the viewer can see them. That’s probably the case for this.

@@justinmcmurtrey9117 once they are deployed the game start and no after. If they want to show case the army just can film them on armies overviews.

as they have a Birdseye camera view the models on top are actually on the bottom floor so the viewers can see where everything is
