Just a quick one, the eye gives a ward save against normal and magical missiles. Missiles are describes as models with ranged weapons, does this extend to warmachines? After all they are firing missiles in the shape of giant cannonballs or giant arrows. On the same matter, does direct damage spells if they need to roll to hit count as a missile? or the hits resulting from a miscast? On these last tow I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no, but on the warmachines I'm not so sure.

Warmachines, yes.

Magic Missles, yes. Whether they roll to hit or not; the item states it grants the save against normal and magical missles.

Miscast, no. Miscasts are not missle attacks. They're not really even attacks.

Magic missiles yeah, i was referring to direct damage ones like Spirit Leech from Death Lore, where nowhere in the spell is it stated that it's a missile contrary to a fireball for example which says "This is a magic missile that blah blah".

Edit: Oh, ant thanks on the warmachines and miscasts

Golden Eye does not work against Direct Damage Spells.

Right, it has to be described as a "missile" spell, or be an actual missile (most ranged shooting attacks that I can think of, right?).

Got it, thanks guys. Guess I'll go with the Talisman of Endurance for my Sorc Lord, better to have 4+ ward against everything than 3+... or is it?

If he's on a disc, and its cheaper, it may be worth it as they would waste the spell on one model rather than a unit. I use this on my level 2 disc sorceror. He can fly around and pester the enemy while my lord has more protection.
