How its work in 8ed?

They cast as any other mage ie use 1-5 dice to cast?
How much RiP spells ogre mage can keep in play?
How much RiP spells ogre mage can keep on one unit? (faq say that 5th paragraph is ignored - it means, as many RiP spells as you wish?)

1 - 6 dice
They can keep 1 RIP spell, like any other. However note that gut magic is NOT RIP
Again, Gut Magic is NOT RIP (it is simply dispelled like it were) meaning you can stack as many as you like on one unit.

Nos has got it.


you can stack Gutmagic all day long and keep as many in play as you can cast.

Gutmagic allows for T10, Str10, Stubborn, Regenerating ogres.

They can keep 1 RIP spell, like any other.

Not really true, as a mage can have more than one RIP spell going. However, they cannot have more than one RIP of the same kind going (like two purple suns or so).

moot point as Gutmagic isn't RiP.


Gutmagic is Gutmagic.

Edit: totally wrong due to FAQ

Gut magic doesnt stack, you can only have one gut magic spell on a unit at a time, however only one butcher is required to give every unit in your army a buff.

Wrong, it definitely stacks. Where are you getting your information from? Not every unit in your army can receive a buff. Only "ogres" can receive the gut magic buffs, gnoblars and yhettees etc. cannot.

+1, read the FAQ.

Off topic, I would love my Yhetees to benefit....ooohhh.... and regenerating Gnobblars? Yes please.

1-6 dice, just like anyone else.
Ogres don't have RiP spells, their spells are dispelled like RIP, as if they were cast with a casting value of 7, meaning you need an 8 to dispel them later.
The FAQ says ignore the 5th paragraph, so you can have as many spells on one unit that you can cast successfully.

That means with a ton of casting, you could have S10 T10 ogres with stubborn, regenerate and MR2.

Please note that this is now incorrect as of the latest FAQ, which i suggest you give a once over.

No, you need a 7. Ties go to the dispeller.
