Hi Guys,

me and my friend had a starter game over the weekend. Him playing Cygnar and me playing Khador. He won but really enjoyed it . I have a few rules questions that we weren't sure on.

1. When Sorscha uses her feat can the other caster use focus when stationary to make themselves unstationary? I read the feat rule to mean that everyone affected is stationary for 1 round regardless.
2. If Sorscha don't make the caster stationary can they use focus to unstationary models? (Also can they move/activate as normal after becoming unstationary?)
3. In the rules it says that a stationary cannot be engaged in close combat. But it also says that any close combat hit will auto hit... So can they be engaged or am I reading the rules wrong?
4. If I move within 2" of a Lancer do they always get a free hit? Even if they are in combat?
5. If Sorscha give concealment with Fog of War (wich gives +2 Def) would that stack with something like the Greylord Ternion's Blizzard?

Thanks in advance for answering a noob's questions.

On their turn in their Control Phase they can spend a focus point to become unstationary.
Look up the rules under "Shake Effects".

Allocate focus as normal and the warjacks can spend a focus like a warcaster to become
unstationary. Look up "Shake Effects".

3. In the rules it says that a stationary cannot be engaged in close combat. But it also says that any close combat hit will auto hit... So can they be engaged or am I reading the rules wrong?

Being engaged in combat means models in melee range gain an increased DEF against
ranged and spell attack rolls. You can still make melee attacks as long as the stationary
model is in the attacker's melee range. However, if the target survives they don't remain
engaged after you resolve the attacks.

4. If I move within 2" of a Lancer do they always get a free hit? Even if they are in combat?

Free strikes occur when you leave melee range.

5. If Sorscha give concealment with Fog of War (wich gives +2 Def) would that stack with something like the Greylord Ternion's Blizzard?

I always forget the answer to this one.

Blizzard is a cloud effect. Models in a cloud effect gain concealment, so no, they do not stack.

Models may still hide behind cloud effects and be out of line of sight (LOS).

Hope that helps.

That is brilliant! Thanks to you both. Just one follow up question .

If I move through a Lancer's front 2" arc (whatever they are doing), as I'm leaving the arc they get a free strike?

Yep. Once you get into a models melee range (and arc) you can't leave it without provoking a free strike.
