Hi,

there are a few rulings which i´m not sure on. i´m not sure whether GW made any clarifications on them as i´ve been out of the game for 2 years (still current rules though)

1 - Treeman Strangle-root attack
text
¨this is a specialised shooting attack that may be used even if the treeman marched. pick one unit within 6¨ - the target does not have to bee in the treeman´s line of sight, but all other targeting restrictions apply. the unit takes an artillery dice worth of s4 hits (5 if the target is partially within a wood). on a misfire nothing happens¨

my questions are this
1 - unlike other shooting attacks can you measure first (as it does not have a range only that they have to be within 6¨)
2 - can you stand and shoot. there was some discrepancy 2 years ago as it is a shooting attack hence i believed it should be allowed however other people said it was a special ability and not useable (like a warmachine i suppose)
3 - if you can stand and shoot can you do it if charged from the flank/rear as you don´t need line of sight


2 - tomb kings undead constructs
can they march. i´m just not sure as the rulebook says undead cannot make a march move however undead constructs do not have the special rule - undead

Thanks

1) The only times you measure before declaring anything are: checking to see if Frenzied troops must charge; checking to see where a flyer may move to. You can not measure 6" before declaring the attack. (6" IS the range of the attack)

2 & 3) Yes, and in any direction. See the FAQ.

4) Construct is a separate rule from Undead. All models in the TK army are Undead; some are ALSO Constructs. Hence, they may not march.

Manfred is right on. Aslo as you said that you have been out of the hoby for a few years I would take some time to read through all the FAQs on the GW website. There have been many clarifications as well as rules changes that are posted there.

thanks for that. i didn´t realise they had put the faq on the internet (just found it)
