Hi,

I played my first game with skaven (and my first game of fantasy) yesterday, and couple of things about came up that I don't get:

After deplying the weapon teams are they automatically a separate unit to their parent unit, or do you have to physically disattach them?

If they above is true if a unit with a doom flayer is charged, but the doom flayer is not, can it make a separte charge into the flanks in my turn?

What does the damage d3 mean on the warpfire thrower? could not find a rule for it any where. We assumed that each hit generated by the template is multiplied by d3.


cheers for any help

The teams count as separate units, and as such, the flayer may charge into the flank in your turn.
The d3 means that each wound it causes is multiplied into d3 wounds. Not very useful on normal infantry, but definitely on characters and monsters.

Read the "multiple wounds" rule for what "damage D3" means - it means that any *unsaved* wounds counts as D3 - however for normal 1 wound creatures this does NOT do anything extra.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Makes more sense now. Cheers.
