The Battle College states that eKreoss can combine his Hallowed Vengeance spell with his thrust attack for a high damage slam. Is this right? The spell says that instead of doing damage, you slam. Is it in some technicality that a "normal" melee attack does no damage, but Thrust is a special attack and so it goes through?

From PP's WM Faq
Q: Is the Thrust special attack cumulative with the Hallowed Vengeance spell?
A: Yes. Hallowed Vengeance modifies the next "normal damage roll", but Thrust only modifies the target's ARM value.

But ARM halved or not, aren't you still making a normal damage roll? Your P+S plus 2d6 no?
So would Thrust still do damage when you have Hallowed Vengeance activated?

There's no reason why it wouldn't.

maybe they mean slamdamage. Like when you slam a model into another model. damage from that will go on the slammed target at half arm...
Don't know exactly, but that sounds like the only way it can work if you are right about getting no damage and slam instead...

The thrust attack triggers hallowed vengeance thereby making them both work. There is nothing in the wording of either that prevent one or the other from working together. If you don't want to use them together then don't, but play like you got a pair and don't cry if your opponent likes the combo.

The damage taken by a model hit by a Slammed model is called Collateral Damage. I hope that helps.

Ok, I get Special attack "thrust" triggers Hallowed Vengeance.
But Hallowed Vengeance says instead of a normal damage roll, you slam the model. So your thrust wouldn't really DO anything, would it, other than allow you to do 0 damage from your attack and just slam it instead.
Are you saying you'd halve the model's ARM for the slam damage roll instead?
