Under the "Expendable" rule, it states Skaven can target units engaged in combat with Skavenslaves with "ranged attacks". I have always played this as shooting attacks only (i.e., no magic whatsoever), is this correct? |

This is a recurring question. |

Ok, sorry... didn't see any topics addressing it in my quick "Rules Discussion" browsing and am new to Skaven. Do you mind telling me what the consensus on this is? :-) |

As far as I recall, there wasn't one. Some people figure ranged attacks=shooting attacks. Others figure that a ranged attack is any attack coming from a range greater than 0", which would include spells coming from a distance. Safe bet is to plan to discuss it with your opponent before it comes up. |

Waaaaaitaminnit! This is even a debate? How? Ranged. Not in contact. Done. How does ranged mean _only_ shooting attacks? Crazy. |

I think the majority would agree with sleboda on this one (me emphatically included). Your opponent may have a differing opinion, especially when he finds it is in his best interest to argue that ranged attack = shooting attack and nothing else. Then if we claim he is arguing due to bias, he'll turn around and say that us claiming ranged attack = anything that happens at range > 0 to be bias on our behalf too. Best to sideline potential opponents with this question before they see the potential outcomes of their verdict to further ensure an unbiased opinion ![]() Weapon descriptions have a range on them, spells have a range on them, both are specifically stated, in the weapon profile, or in the spell description. GW doesn't have a specific definition for what is a ranged attack, but the english language should suffice for the source of said definition. |
