I had a quick question about something I didn't know if it worked like this or not...

if you had...

Ca'tan shard with Writhing worldscape

Temporal snares from Orikan the diviner

and a hit on a unit from a Tremorstave

do these stack to making dangerous terrain tests worst then on a 1 or 2?

Orikan activates his ability, ca'tan is on the field making it dangerous and a tremorstave hits a unit of bikers going through difficult terrain... whats that add up to or is it just a 1 and 2 fail or can it go higher? Please let me know if I'm understanding this wrong or w.e cause Its bugging me

AFAIK dangerous terrain only fail on a 1, but if someone knows better, I'd like to hear.

I thought the c'tan thing made terrain on the board dangerous, which to me terrain on the board and moving as if in are two different things. But I could be wrong as I don't have the codex on me.

the abilty makes all terrain on the first turn difficult. the ctan's ability makes all difficult dangerous. these would stack. the tremorstave makes the units next move count as in difficult. this would also stack with the ctan's power. i do not see where you are getting the fail on a 1 or 2 since that only comes from already dangerous terrain being manilpulated by the ctan.

On page 41 on the Ca'tan powers Writhing worldscape says if the terrain is already dangerous, the Ca'tan's ability makes it not a 1 but a 1 or 2 that fails, was just asking if any of the other abilities would stack like the Ca'tan shards ability

Termor staff does nothing on turn 1. A hit from the termor staff makes open count as difficult. But on turn 1, thanks to Orikan, there is no open terrain, everything already is difficult. Since the unit starts in difficult terrain, their is no open terrain on the table for the staff to make count as difficult.

So the C'Tan ability does allow stacking, but the wording on the staff precludes it from stacking with Orikan.
