You're looking at this backwards. Randomization only benefits us if it exists (target your own slaves, randomize into the enemy instead). Now that randomization doesn't exist on such an attack, just don't aim at your slaves. This means fewer of your slaves die. The only thing it gimps is, if your slaves were in contact with a monstrous mount, then you could previously end up randomizing a ridiculous amount of hits to the MM. This boosts our ability in normal situations, while simultaneously getting rid of an exploit. MUTATE::: I forgot to add... HOLY CRAP! Praise Jesus! Thank God this arrived! And Thank God it's so Skaven friendly too! |

With the massive improvement given to Bone Breaker Warlords, I suddenly find myself having to come up with a model for one now.

Wait....they didn't address whether the storm banner affected WLC, Doomwheel and WFT shooting... |

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Read Storm Banner's description closely. There's really no way to misinterpret Storm Banner without adding your own words. It absolutely does not affect non-BS magical shooting. The only skaven shooting it affects is Skaven BS shooting. Last edition it worked differently. I have no problem understanding storm banner in it's current incarnation, because I don't have last edition muddling my head ![]() MUTATE: And if you want to debate the issue, I'd love to try to get this settled, and as such, I've bumped a storm-banner thread so that we don't have to argue it here in the FAQ thread. |

I still cannot figure out exactly what they meant by that answer. It sounds like the character is just gonna be left standing there, 1" away. But it could also mean that if you roll high enough to take out the entire unit and the character, he becomes a rat. I did look at the brb rules for shooting at a character in a unit, and it didn't help very much... But I also have an older version of the brb, so it could have been changed in more recent versions. |

Aww... boo, I can't have braces of warplock pistols on non-warlocks anymore Oh, well, small price really compared to life without it. Glad this is out and clarifies nearly all of the issues with the book, in such a rat-friendly way too I guess those assassins got the right rules-writers after all...

It's saying characters with US5+ within a unit are not effected; so lords on dragons in infantry units are safe (as are our SB/PF mounted heros).
US<5 Characters are still subject to the mutation. --Cap |

Whew, thanks for clearing that up. That's what I originally had thought as well, but the last question made me doubt. |

For a second it looks like the 'bad writing bug' had bitten them in their answer, but poised next to another CotHR question it looks like that's exactly what they meant to say.... although it looks like they didn't fully answer the question asked of them and instead went on a monster tangent. They ignored this piece (but I think did an 'ok' job covering it in the other question I posted):
