It brings back dead models.
Say you have some saurus warriors and some die and your slaan decides no and casts regrowth and bam x amount of saurus stand back up.

The attribute only heals wounded models.
Regrowth is the only one that brings back the dead.

Ok sorry I misread that.

Ya so if your mage takes a wound it can get it back.

Hautamaki wrote:Question: does the Lore of Life attribute bring back removed models, or does it only affect multi-wound models that have lost a wound?

Restores wounds on multi-wound models. It specifically says a friendly model recovers a wound they lost earlier in the battle. Not recover 1 wound worth of model.

I'm partial to life always for my Tzeentch herald. If I can get a 2nd one(2200+ point games) I take light.

Wait, what?

Where does it say this?

Cryonicleech wrote:But can't you only be affected by 1 Augment? Meaning either Pann's or Savage Beast?

Augments stack. That why you can do massive awesome combo with say... Lore of Light.

You can even put the same Augment on 1 unit more then once, 2x Wysaans on a Gor unit with beast banner horded with Primal Fury= 40 WS4 rerollable attacks at S6 with T6 in return not bad at all.

Can someone please explain what it means when it says "determined as per a bouncing cannonball"

Lore of Light : Works great for lizardmen. "Oh you want to strike first? Well too bad! My saurus are now I10!"

Nehekhara

What about specifically for Empire?

Pretty sure it means it can hit only 1 target per rank.

yeah, it means the template is the same as a cannonball(1 hit per rank, or file if in the flank)

Lore of death because... wait? I love Khorne so you can showe your f****** magic up your you know where! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! FOR KHORNEEEEE!!!!

The lore of metal for having the best name.

I would love to see music themes puns in the next edition, something like "Curse of the men of Iron" or "Boots of Lead" or something cheesy like that.

Back to back games my friend played this weekend all of his core had Mark of Khorne, he has a wizard in a unit miscasts rolls a 4 loses 20 Chaos warriors from 2 different units. Next game same thing, don't think he lost quite as much but was still the wrath of Khorne no doubt.

Thanks, I'm new to fantasy

Speaking of Burning Head, do you get a LOS! roll vs that? FAQ doesn't say either way, and as far as we know the only 'line' that is a 'template' is a cannon shot, so how close does 'determined as per a bouncing cannonball' hook up 'burning head effect' with 'single atom wide cannon template'?

- Salvage

Interesting, that'd never occurred to me- I thought it'd be just like a cannonball, and so a LOS would be granted... but maybe that's an assumption that's not actually spelled out anywhere.

Yeah, not clear enough to say either way. I'd be inclined to say no LoS, only because it makes the spell more interesting, and possibly useful.

I'm pretty sure one of the FAQs has the answer for this. No idea which one it is but it basically clarified that all magic which uses a template gets a LoS role. I think it was in relation to Purple Sun, but as its a cannon TEMPLATE the same should apply.

I'm gonna go ahead and say it doesn't allow for LoS just because they're isn't anything to support either way really and it makes the spell more useful.

Combo of Lore of Death and Lore of Shadow for DE is simply murderous.

The basic spell for Lore of Shadow drops a unit's Int by D3, and both Lores feature big area of affect 'Int-test or die' spells.

It's generally a decent shocker for Int 3-4 troops to be dropped to Int 1-2 before being hit with those unit-mulchers, or for Int 5 troops who generally don't sweat Pit and Sun to suddenly be taking decent casualties against them.

lol that does sound fun

And that right there is why I prefer Shadow. Those debuffs are utter horror. Take Shadow AND Death? Yeah. They'll hold dice against the sniping or the PSoX and let you get off the Debuffs, only to cry when you crossbow them to death.

If you were taking a 2 and a 4, which would you give Shadow and which would you give Death?

TheAngrySquig wrote:If you were taking a 2 and a 4, which would you give Shadow and which would you give Death?

Shadow on the lvl4 for sure, because you really want to get Mindrazor.

But don't you also really want to get Purple Sun?
