13th Spell into Combat?

Are you able to cast the Dreaded Thirteenth Spell into combat, or are you prevented from doing so? I know you can't cast anything into combat with a damage value, but the 13th doesn't cause damage you just remove models. I dunno, it seems kinda nebulous to me.

Well you couldn't in 7th so I don't think you can in 8th. Though am not the 13th expert I much prefer plague.

You can't. Since Army Book spells have no type, they are bound by the default targeting/restriction plus whatever restrictions in that spells description.

Basic Spell targeting restrictions are:

- Front Arc
- No Line of Sight
- Within Range
- Cannot target units in combat

The 13th Spell only specifies these requirements/restrictions:

- Affects only Infantry
- 24" Range
- Needs Line of Sight

So you end up with this:

- Front Arc
- Needs Line of Sight
- Within 24"
- Can only target Infantry units
- Cannot target units in combat

If casting from the top of the Screaming Bell, you remove the Front Arc restriction as per Above the Masses rule.
