Did you notice that you can't hand out carapace and camo cloaks to your _company commander_ ? Only the vets can take these. What now? Give him Ollanius Death Mask all the time? Besides that list building with the new dex is great fun.

There must be way to boost it. <br /><br />Yea the rule is meant to be for 6s I think, but as the usual internet forums do, they have figured that as the rule is written, you can allocate the hits freely. I wont be using at that way but its certainly worth mentioning. but yes its currently very powerful. Especially against other guard armies. <br /><br />Well other than that I see no little quirks. I just need to sit down and read the rules properly :P Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127782785335814252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-34040296896838334312014-04-16T16:49:56.961-07:002014-04-16T16:49:56.961-07:00Well the order is clear, its precision shots itsel...Well the order is clear, its precision shots itself that is a little muddy.

So as written the priest and officer cannot use that for a reroll as they are not morale checks. Morale is a type of leadership check.<br /><br />I would disagree on the precision shot thing, but it could be argued. How I read it is the order grants precision shots. Precision shots require a 6 to hit in order to allocate wounds. Remember all characters have the precision shot rule and still require 6s to hit, thats what leans me in the direction of still needing 6s to hit with the order. Otherwise that is brokenly powerfulGrumpy Guardsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17589097813598490581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-72684221462242160632014-04-16T15:48:52.697-07:002014-04-16T15:48:52.697-07:00The way the current rule is written the precision ...The way the current rule is written the precision shots is that you get to allocate all the hits from that unit. making it very powerful. I dont suggest anyone play it this way as its not RAI in my opinion, but something to keep in mind.<br /><br />Also the banner allows rerolls for leadership tests, so if you are a banner taker, then you should be able to reroll their abilities by using that. <br /><br />As for helping CCS staying alive, The telepathy guy, if you are lucky can give you invisibility. Which I will be using tonight, that goes a really long way to keeping them alive if you wanna risk the points for it. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127782785335814252noreply@blogger.com
