I have a question about the Skaven storm banner because I think we played it wrong on Saturday.
The rules state: Roll a D6 at the beginning of each following player turn - the effects of the banner will end on a D6 roll of 4+."
Does this mean after the turn it is activated, the skaven player rolls to check if it goes away? In other words, say my Empire army goes first and the Skaven player activates the storm banner. When it is his turn to go (still turn 1) he must roll to see if it goes away. Then On turn 2 he must roll for my part of the turn and then for his part of the turn. Another way of saying this is if the player activates the storm banner at the top of turn one, will the skaven player roll the d6 up to 11 times (if the storm banner stays each time) or will they only be rolling the die five times?

11 times

So yes its possible for him to activate it at the start of your turn and slow you down, then it ends before he does any shooting.

"...roll a D6 at the beginning of each following player turn..."

So you roll to see if it stops the player turn after it is activated.

Ex: Skaven turn it on on turn 1, in the empire's next turn they roll, then they roll in their next turn, and so on until it stops or the game ends.

PLayer turn means exactly that - player turn, not game turn.

Thanks all for the quick replies. I argued it was player turn and not game turn but I didn't want to be to aggressive about the rule during the tourney because it was my own fault for not knowing the skaven rulebook enough as an Empire player. Man, as it was it stayed up till the four game turn...which made my army limp as a noodle.

Good to know for the future, and thanks!
