Question came up last night with regards to the Lizardmen Cupped Hands vs Tomb Kings. The question is "Can a Slann transfer his miscast result onto a TK character on a 2+ with the Cupped Hands"?.

Two sides of the argument:
Yes you can:
1. The TK Liche High Priest and Liche Priests are wizards. Their army special rule says that their incantations ignore the rules for miscasts and irresistable force - nothing is specified that they cannot suffer the effects like anyone else from miscasts (like the OK butcher's miscast affecting all enemy wizards, or the hellcannon's misfire table).

No you can't:
1. Incantations ignoring miscasts and irresistable force apply to all miscasts in general.

Thoughts?

Yes, you can transfer miscasts to them, at least via the Hellcannon (the only one I am familiar with).

"All Wizards suffer a miscast."

They aren't doing an incantation, so that exception doesn't apply, and they count as Wizards.

We had this happen in a game the other day. In back to back turns.

The 7th edition erratas said you could not Xfer the miscast as they were not wizards...

Now with 8th edition that errata made them wizards and there is no mention about miscasts not hitting them.

Yes you can transfer, as they are wizards.

They have no special immunity to ALL miscasts, just when the Incant.
