Does the Storm Banner (-2 to hit for missile units using ballistic skill) affect Tomb Kings archers? It's pretty obvious that it will affect the catapult, but the way the two rules are written makes it a little unclear as far as the archers. The wording of the Storm Banner says it affects all units, but the Tomb Kings Arrows of the Asp army rule says that they do not receive any modifiers, plus or minus. So, how do you guys play it? |

They would not effect the Archers. The Storm banner entry states it as a negative modifier, while the Arrows of the Asp special rule states that TK Archers never suffer any modifiers. Skavenblight |

You're right about it affecting the catapults... As for the Archers, technically, it DOES affect them (hear me out here). The banner affects all units that shoot, and the likes. The thing is, despite being affected, the Skeleton bowmen still hit on 5+, because their rule states that they always hit on 5+, despite modifiers. So basically, as Skavenblight says, the arrows of the asp rule trumps the Storm banner rules. |

Why is that? Is it because they are supposed to be something like ethereal or what? Or is the state of undead somewhat magical. |

It's the wasp blessing special rule. It's only for tombking. Any undead unit don't suffer bonus or penalty for shooting. So the stormbanner gives -2 to hit and they don't suffer it. |
