The Skaven army book was obviuosly made before the Tomb Kings.
How does Bell effect #8 and #13 work against them?
If the General is not the Head Hierophant,then the General's death won't effect them. They are different than Vampire Counts.
Or should you just effect them as the Heirophant was killed?
It's not fair if they can just totally ignore the effect.

FEAR THE LEMMING!
#13 makes them take a leadership, killing them for failing. General leadership as normal.
#8 works the same, but only with Cav/Chariots.
Thats what I think.

as well, the wording indicates undead to take a test as if the general has died. i think he was referring to the fact that tomb kings dont take a test when the general dies.

treat the result as "take crumble test as if the heirophant has died" (which is the spirit of the rule)

Yes,that's exactly what I meant!
"Sing The Screams" the skaven-ade is on me!
Has this been addressed anywhere esle?
Some jerks don't go by the "spirit" of the rules.
I would agree they take a crumble test like VC.

Check out Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 118..

from on-line FAQ's
 
SCREAMING BELL

Q. On a Skaven Screaming Bell result of 8 or 13 do you treat the
Tomb Kings army as if the Hierophant, and not the General, has been
destroyed?

A. Yes.
S. Anthony Reynolds - Warhammer Design Team

*****

Q. Does an Undead General (Hierophant) have to test under a result
of 13 on the Screaming Bell chart?

A. No, as the General (Hierophant) is a character, and Undead
characters never suffer wounds because of a dead General
(Hierophant).

something to throw out your Tomb King opponents. :ph43r:
