well as the rider?
A . They are not affected except where noted (Blessed
Spawning of Chotec).
Q . With Lord Kroak’s Ceremonial Mace of Malachite,
magic weapons count only as hand weapons. What
about magic weapons that are not hand weapons, like
the Lance of the Quest and Crimson Death – do they
also count as hand weapons?
A . ‘Magical weapons count as hand weapons’.
So they count only as hand weapons.
Q . Do you get the benefit for +1 Strength with Kroq-
Gar’s Revered Spear of Tlanxla if he charges on foot (if
Grymloq is slain)?
A . All the effects of the magic weapon are from it being
magical. So yes.
Q . Can you cast spells like Flaming Sword of Rhuin on
a Slann?
A . Yes. Since it is the Skink attendant who is assumed
to fight, it is imagined that the flaming sword will
appear in the Skink’s hands!
Q . Do you get the benefit for +1 Strength with Kroq-
Gar’s Revered Spear of Tlanxla against units Immune
to Psychology?
A . Yes.
Q . . What is the range of the Stegadon’s giant bow? Do
you get armour saves against the giant bow, or is it
treated like a Bolt Thrower (and so no armour saves
would be allowed)?
A . The giant bow is a bolt thrower in all respects, except
it can move and fire, and has a different Strength. Use all
the rules from the Bolt Thrower section of the
Warhammer rulebook (p. 124-125).
Q . Can the Slann’s Leadership be used if he is
positioned in the second rank? Normally, a character’s
Leadership can only be used if he is in the fighting
rank.
A . Yes.
Q . Can a Skink with the Scout ability scout if it is
mounted on a Stegadon or a Horned One?
A . No. A Skink may only scout if it is on foot.
