PostSubject: Special Armour allowed for henchmen ... other questions.   Special Armour allowed for henchmen  ... other questions. Icon_minitimeSun 27 Sep 2009 - 12:14

Hello folks,

Following question(s)

I have a Minotaur in my Gang and leading a wealthy Beastmen Gang meaning that I meanwhile got my 4th Gromril Armour.

1)
May the Minotaur wear a Gromril Armour ... Rules say he has accest to full beastmen equipment least including heavy armour.

2)
My shaman has the spell "Dark Blood" where he cut´s his palms and has to see afterwards how bad he hurts himself. He is also wearing Lucky charms.
In our last game he got stunned due to this spell and afterwards he got attacked by an opposite wizzard with it´s flying spell.

So far so good....

Questions:

2.a) Does lucky charm have any impact on the spell Dark Blood hurting himself (I don´t think so)

2.b) Does Lucky charm have any impact when stunned Shaman gets charged by flying Shaman (provided the shaman has only 1 attack) ? I also don´t think so but I think it´s better to ask Wink


3)
Chaos Mutation "Extra Arm"
I got a Centigor with this mutation. Does the extra arm count towards the base attack the Centigor has ? Meaning in the case the Centigor goes frenzy ....does it also double the Attack of the "Extra Arm"


Regards
Claus

Gromril and Ithilmar Armour are special types of "Heavy Armour" and all (and only those) models with access to the latter may also use them, regardless of whether they are Heores or Henchmen. So yes, you may give the Minotaur a suit of Gromril Armour as he has access to heavy armour.

Lucky Charms let you ignore the first hit during the battle. A "hit" is a clear game term and is not a "roll on the injury" table. So the Shaman will get stunned (or Knocked Down) by Dark Blood with no chance of preventing this. The Lucky Charm doesn't become useless this way, though, of course, so you can still prevent the next real hit...

As for the Lucky Charm on a stunned knocked down warrior: The rules read as follows:

"All attacks against a warrior who is knocked down hit automatically" (page 21, LRB)

So the attacker doesn't have to roll to hit, the attacks hit automatically. These hits are the same as "normal" hits for the purpose of the Lucky Charm: succesful hits. It doesn't really matter how the success of the hit came to be. So against the attacker you have a chance to prevent one of his attacks as normal.

Regarding Extra Arms and Frenzy: per the Mordheim Living Rulebook, pg 23, Frenzy section, third paragraph, first sentence: "Frenzied warriors fight with double their Attacks characteristic in hand-to-hand combat."

An Extra Arm does not increase the model's Attacks characteristic - it only grants "him +1 attack when fighting in hand-to-hand combat."

It's careful wording there, but the end result is that Frenzy does not increase the number of attacks granted by anything (off-hand weapon use, Extra Arm, etc.) other than the Attacks characteristic.

It should be remembered also that the latest Mordheim errata changed lucky charms to only allow you to ignore the first hit during the battle if you roll a 4+ on a D6... (not that this answers any of your questions though as they have already answered by cianty and wyldhunt Special Armour allowed for henchmen  ... other questions. Icon_smile).

I assumed this as given, but yes, some might not be aware of this (but personally I think this is the least relevant erratum in the entire Rules Review Evil or Very Mad ).

So it really means that I could have used "Lucky Charms" to avoid going out of Action for the Shaman that were "stunned" ?

Sorry for this question but I´m wondering a little bit because rule say that "stunned" warrior are going out of action when being attacked by other warrior.

The extra arm thing is clear as well as the armor topic.

Erm... no. If you were "knocked down", then the opponent hits automatically and the Lucky Charm can prevent one of those hits. "Stunned" warriors are not hit or wounded or anything so they are automatically taken out of action (if the attacker has at least one attack to spend on this).

I said "stunned" in my previous answer where it should have read "knocked down". Sorry about that! I have corrected that.
