Yes, absolutely.

Yes.

A Close Order unit always acts as such, even if it only contains a single model.

No. A unit cannot be obscured from the enemy by itself.

A roll of 8 or higher on the Miscast table affects all friendly Wizards.

No. A roll of a natural double 1 isn’t merely a failed Casting roll, it is a Miscast, as described on page 109.

It ends immediately.

Yes.

Yes. Whilst such attributes are as protective as a suit of armour, such models do not wear armour.

They only need to be within the fighting rank.

Yes.

Yes. Magical vortexes are considered tall enough to affect even models that are flying high above the battlefield.

Yes.

No.

It is the maximum distance from an enemy unit at which it can declare a charge.

No. The only exception to this is when a unit pivots.

Yes, provided the unit does not end its movement 'on top' of another unit or within 1" of an enemy unit. When a unit wheels, those at its rear do not really follow a long, curving path, as it might appear when moving a large block of models on the table. In reality, they would take a more direct route, following the path of the front rank and resuming their formation behind it.

If there is a chance of the Skirmishers moving so that they are no longer an obstruction (if they declare a charge, for example), yes. Otherwise, no.

There are several reasons. Firstly, a Drilled unit that declares a charge whilst in Marching Column can freely redress its ranks to adopt Combat Order after determining its charge range, but before moving, thus allowing it to make a charge move.

Secondly, units that are obliged to declare a charge in certain circumstances (those that are Frenzied or Impetuous, for example) must do so even whilst in Marching Column. If they cannot make the charge move, they don't move at all and the charge is failed. This prevents Marching Column being used to avoid declaring compulsory charges.

Alternatively, there might be a psychological advantage to declaring a charge with a Marching Column. For example, the unit might cause Terror, or the charge target might already be fleeing.

Of course, it isn't easy to set up situations where such tactics can be used and therein lies the challenge.

If it is able to redress the ranks (i.e., if there is space for it to do so), no. A unit that is obliged to charge must endeavour to make use of any special rules it has in order to charge. The unit just really wants to charge, and it'll play this game without you if it has to!

No. Sometimes a charge isn't possible.

No.

No. As stated on page 124, no model can move further than twice its Movement characteristic. However, there are obvious exceptions to this, such as when a Marching Column marches, or when a dice roll determines a unit's movement.

Yes. The unit is considered to have moved onto the battlefield. Therefore, no model can be placed more than twice its Movement characteristic from the edge of the battlefield its unit enters from.

No. A model cannot shoot during the Shooting phase if it marched during the preceding Movement phase and, although they work differently to most missile weapons, Breath weapons are a type of missile weapon.

Only with those models that are on the hill. For example, if a unit consists of twenty models in two ranks of 10 and only 5 models in each rank are on the hill, only those 10 models can claim the benefits of shooting from a hill.

A unit that is closer to the top of a hill (i.e., the centre of the hill or the edge of the battlefield) can draw a line of sight across and shoot over one that is closer to the bottom. Units cannot draw a line of sight across or shoot over units that are closer to the top of a hill than they are.

Missile weapons mounted on chariots (or howdahs) are shot by the crew, using their Ballistic Skill.

Yes, if they have not been killed, models able to make supporting attacks can do so as normal. In other words, casualties inflicted reduce firstly the number of models in the fighting rank that are able to fight and secondly the number of models in the ‘supporting rank’ that are able to fight.

A model with a split profile consists of not one model, but several, all sharing the same base. Therefore, each model on that base could make a single attack. In the case of a cavalry model, for example, this would be one attack from the rider and one from their mount.

Yes, provided it has a Unit Strength of 5 or more (as per the errata on page 1). As mentioned previously, a Close Order unit of just one model is still a Close Order unit.

No. Even though the units separated momentarily, they remain locked in place and engaged in an ongoing combat once the Follow Up or Pursuit move has been made. In other words, because the combat is ongoing, neither unit is able to swap one weapon for another.

Should any part of a unit cross beyond the edge of the battlefield whilst it is Giving Ground, the entire unit is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed.

The unit's movement stops immediately, as if it were surrounded.

It may happen that it is simply impossible for a pursuing or overrunning unit to move without it ending up 'on top' of another unit. In such cases, the unit does not move, but is considered to have made a pursuit or overrun move.

Unless it pursued into a fresh enemy, yes. A unit that overruns makes a normal pursuit move and, since its enemy has already been wiped out, it may attempt to reform as if it had run down its foe, as described on page 129.

When an Assailment spell is cast in a challenge, it can only hit the other participant in the challenge.

They are directed against the other participant in the challenge.

No. Even if one participant in a challenge has been slain, the challenge is considered to be ongoing until the end of the current Combat phase.

Yes (that example sounds to us like something that really would cause panic amongst the ranks!).

From the start of the phase during which the unit was destroyed. For example, if a friendly unit with a Unit Strength of 10 is destroyed by enemy shooting during a single Shooting phase, it causes panic in nearby friendly units. Players are not expected to remember the Unit Strength of every unit from turn to turn or phase to phase, but should keep track of Unit Strength during each phase.

No. Unless the unit itself or the scenario being played has a special rule that changes the way in which Ambushers arrive, you must roll for their arrival during each of your turns, from round two onwards. However, any special rules that affect the arrival of Ambushers which take effect after the Start of Turn sub-phase but before the Compulsory Moves sub-phase may be used as normal, regardless of the result of the Ambushers roll.

A rule such as Armour Bane (X) can have no effect if no roll To Wound is made. In such cases, you may choose to roll To Wound as normal in the hope of improving the weapon's AP characteristic, but if you do the effect of Poisoned Attacks is lost and you must accept the result of the roll To Wound.

No.

Yes. Counter Charge is a rule that represents the skill and ferocity of the rider, not their mount. In other words, not every rider is willing or able to perform a counter charge, regardless of their mount.

Yes. A unit that Gives Ground is not a fleeing unit.

Note that, as mentioned previously, should any part of a unit cross beyond the edge of the battlefield whilst it is Giving Ground, the entire unit is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed. It is intentional that a Drilled unit might be able to avoid this fate.

Yes. If a model has the Fly (X) special rule, the number given in brackets is essentially a second Movement characteristic. Any effect that modifies one will modify both.

No. A model that has more than one version of the Fly (X) special rule essentially has two Movement characteristics it can use when flying. Of these, you may use the best.

If it is able to use the greater, then yes, it must (tactically, you might not want it to, but a Frenzied Lord of Chaos on a mighty Dragon doesn't care about your tactics!).

No. A unit is either Frenzied or it isn't, multiple instances of Frenzy are not cumulative.

No.

The rules effectively cancel one another out, meaning the weapon would suffer a -1 To Hit modifier for Moving and Shooting.

No, because no one would hear them over the sound of them running away.

No. Whilst units that move randomly do not declare charges, if you wish to move one into contact with an enemy unit, it must fulfil the same criteria as any other charging unit during its movement, as detailed on page 126.

All units move 2" when Giving Ground.

No, armour values given as a target number cannot be combined to lower the target number. As with Ward saves, only a single Regeneration save can be attempted and different Regeneration saves cannot be combined together. If a model has more than one Regeneration save, simply use the best.

Yes. Even though the wounds were saved, they will still count towards the combat result.

No.

The unit ceases to be subject to Stupidity the moment the character leaves the unit.

Units test for Stupidity in each of their Start of Turn sub-phases unless they are engaged in combat. By extension, a unit that fails a Stupidity test remains Stupid only until it passes a subsequent test.

They should continue moving in the general direction they moved the previous turn or, if they did not move in the previous turn, towards the nearest enemy unit.

Because models with this special rule delight in running down cowards who flee before a charge!

No. What's more, if the unit is formed, it will not be able to make a Vanguard rule. However, if the unit is in Skirmish formation, it can make its Vanguard move as normal, leaving the character behind.

No. When a character attempts to use a special rule that requires them to make a Leadership test, they must use their own Leadership characteristic and, unless specifically stated otherwise, cannot use any additional special rules they themselves do not have.

No. As stated on page 184, you cannot remove a model from a unit of Skirmishers if doing so would cause the unit to lose coherency. However, if an attack targets a specific model (such as a champion or a character), that model must be removed if the attack reduces it to zero Wounds. In such cases, simply replace the removed model with another model belonging to the same unit, one that could be removed as a casualty, in order to maintain unit coherency.

No. The points you pay for a chariot include its crew, whether that chariot is included in your army on its own or as a mount for a character. However, in reality it might prove difficult to fit a character and the full complement of crew into the chariot model itself. If so, it is perfectly acceptable to remove one or more of the crew models to make space for the character. In such cases, we can think of the missing crew model's profile(s) as a way of representing that the beasts pulling a character's chariot are bound to be bigger, stronger and better trained than normal.

No. You must use a magic item fully or not at all.

No, a shield is carried by the character, not the mount.

Yes.

No.

The purpose of the Targeting Lone Characters rule is to protect characters from enemy shooting, even from shooting that does not follow the usual rules (though it does not protect them from templates). Therefore, and in the spirit of this rule, unless they are the closest target to the cannon, an enemy character that is within 3" of a friendly unit that contains five or more models of the same troop type cannot be struck by a cannonball, even if their base lies directly under the path of the bouncing cannonball. However, if a Lone character's base lies directly underneath the strike point of a cannonball, they are hit.

No.

They must use their magic weapon. However, some named characters will carry a 'back-up' weapon which they can use should their magic weapon be destroyed.

No. Any rules conferred by a weapon, be it magical or mundane, apply only to attacks made with that weapon. This can include, but is not limited to, rules unique to a specific type of weapon, special rules that apply to a particular weapon, or special rules that apply to a magic weapon. For example, if a Wizard is armed with the Sword of Swiftness, attacks made with that weapon have the Strikes First special rule, but the Wizard cannot claim that wielding the weapon allows them to cast Assailment spells at Initiative 10.

To give another example, if a model has a special rule unique to its faction that grants additional rules to a hand weapon (the crew of an Orc Boar Chariot have the Choppas special rule, for example), that rule applies only to actual hand weapons carried by riders or chariot crew, not to weapons belonging to mounts or draft animals that 'count as' hand weapons.

No. If it is noted on a weapon's profile that the model may or must make a specific number of attacks with that weapon, normal attacks or otherwise, that's how many attacks it makes with that weapon.

Yes. As noted on page 213, unless stated otherwise, all models are assumed to be equipped with a hand weapon. A model with two has, by definition, two and may choose to fight with just one, foregoing the Extra Attacks (+1) special rule in favour of some other benefit.

During any turn in which it charged or counts as having charged.

No.

No, a cannon cannot shoot over woods or hills, even if it is on a hill. However, a stone thrower can if it chooses to fire indirectly.

Not unless that cannon is on a hill and the unit is not. However, as above, a stone thrower can if it chooses to fire indirectly.

No. Page 143 of the rulebook makes it clear that, except in rare cases, units cannot shoot enemy units that are engaged in combat. In the case of cannon, this means the target point cannot be placed in such a way as to risk the cannonball hitting a friendly unit, or an enemy unit engaged in combat with a friendly unit.

No. Because a war machine and its crew are treated as a single model, you must use the crew's BS.

Yes. Such limitations are based on the size of the game you are playing rather than the exact points value of your army.

Yes. An allied contingent is a small army within a large army, made using a Grand Army or Army of Infamy composition list. Within a 2,000 points army, for example, an allied contingent of 500 points would have to spend at least 125 points on Core units, could spend no more than 250 points on characters, and would be unable to include any units limited to 0-1 per 1,000 points.

No. These are the minimum recommended sizes. The normal size battlefield for a game of between 2,000 and 3,000 points is 48" x 72" (4' x 6') and players are encouraged to use this. The minimum sizes are based on the folding card battlefields Games Workshop produces. These are ideal when space is an issue or for smaller games. For example, we prefer a 44" x 60" battlefield for a game of 1,000 or 1,500 points, rather than the more traditional 48" x 48" battlefield. We find the smaller, rectangular shape more pleasing.

Earthen Ramparts does not prevent a unit from declaring a charge, it prevents it from charging. In other words, yes the unit must declare a charge if obliged to do so. However, because the unit cannot charge, it does not move at all and the charge is failed.

No. A unit that Counter Charges counts as having charged, therefore a Counter Charge is a charge.

No. Weapons limited to a single attack can only inflict a single hit.

Yes. The wearer of the Wizarding Hat is not actually a Wizard – their magical powers are granted by a haunted hat which is not affected by any armour the model may wear.

Yes, because one is an enchanted item, the other is a type of magic armour, but we hope anyone equipping a model in such a way would make the effort to depict it wearing two hats!

The Wizard is transmogrified, but not their mount. In the example given, you would be left with a Frog riding a Dragon.

Models can purchase magic items from the list of common magic items in the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook, or from their own faction's list of magic items. A Dragon Ogre Shaggoth, for example, can purchase items from the common or Beastmen Brayherds magic item lists.

No. Bound Spells are cast by the item they are bound to, whilst Arcane Items such as the Hagtree Fetish affect spells cast by their bearer. Therefore, unless an item specifies it has an effect upon Bound Spells, it does not.

No, only unsaved wounds caused by the bearer (the rider) count.

No.

Yes. Note however that an allied contingent of Bretonnians taken as part of any other army cannot pray. In order for Bretonnians to pray, the army they are part of must have the Blessings of the Lady rule, which only Kingdom of Bretonnia armies have.

The number of models hit is based on the number of ranks overall. For example, a Lance of six knights (arranged in ranks of one, two and three models) would suffer three hits. When a Lance is shot in its flank by a bolt thrower, the number of hits is based on the widest file. To continue the example above, three models would be hit based on the depth of the unit.

The Lance formation offers a bit more flexibility than other formations. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to place a character such as a Duke or a Baron at the front of the Lance should you wish. In the case of a Handmaiden of the Lady, the Shield of the Lady special rule allows such models to be placed at the rear of such units. Alternatively, they can be placed within the unit. In this case, the extra base size will make very little difference to the shape of the unit.

The full fighting rank. When a Lance charges, it pierces deep into the enemy formation, causing the enemy lines to close around it. It's very hard to show this on the table though, hence the abstraction.

Note that this can create an area of 'dead ground' between a Lance and a unit it is engaged in combat with. If any enemy units are caught within this, refer to the rules covering 'accidental contact' on page 131 of the Warhammer: the Old World rulebook.

Provided they can be placed within 3" of their concealing unit and not touching the bases of any other models, yes.

When a Fanatic moves into contact with another unit, it continues in a straight line until it can be placed back on the battlefield. Any units that line passes through are hit. Units the line does not pass through are not hit.

No.

No. The decapitating strike profile must be used as noted – to make one additional attack.

No. A chariot's given Armour Value takes into account such equipment.

If you want a chariot mount to have the same benefits from a Mark of Chaos that its rider has, you have to pay the points to give the chariot the Mark of Chaos.

No, the rule applies only to their Asrai longbow. Hawk-eyed they may be, but that does not mean they can snipe at enemy characters with powerful spells bound into magic items.

Yes. Note however that an allied contingent of Wood Elves taken as part of any other army cannot. In order for Wood Elves to gain an extra wood, the army they are part of must have the Woodland Ambush, which only Wood Elf Realms armies have.

When firing an Enchanted Arrow it is assumed the model is firing only once, as is the norm. Therefore, one of the shots fired from the Bow of Loren can be made using an Enchanted Arrow, the other shots are resolved using ordinary (i.e., not Enchanted) arrows.
