Motherly Love
URL Copied!

Troll Hags are affectionate creatures, prone to treating enemies as wayward children in need of guidance or affection. Unfortunately, few creatures are able to withstand such treatment for long.

Instead of attacking normally during the Combat phase, a Troll Hag may choose to make a 'Motherly Love' attack. To do so, nominate an enemy unit that the Troll Hag is engaged in combat with to be the target of the attack and roll on the Motherly Love table below to determine what the Troll Hag does:

D6

Result

1-2

Smother: The Troll Hag throws her massive arms around the foe in a terrible embrace. Place a large (5") blast template so that its central hole is directly over the centre of the target unit. Any model (friend or foe, but not including this model) whose base lies underneath the template risks being hit and suffering a single hit, using the Strength characteristic of this model, with an AP of -2.

3-4

Mother: The Troll Hag chastises her foe as if it were a wayward offspring. Nominate a single model in the fighting rank of the target unit to be the target of this attack. That model is hit and suffers D3+1 wounds with no armour or Regeneration saves permitted (Ward saves can be attempted as normal).

5-6

Mither: The Troll Hag bombards the enemy with a tirade of slaps and a torrent of unintelligible Trollish invective. The target unit suffers D6+1 hits, each using the Strength characteristic of this model, with no armour save permitted (Ward and Regeneration saves can be attempted as normal). In addition, so shocked is the target unit that, until the end of this turn, it suffers a -1 modifier to its Leadership characteristic.
