This hasn't come up yet but I feel it could in the future so:

Say for example you have EKreuger throwing out a lightning storm (3" AOE that remains in play for one round and causes a POW 10 hit to anything that moves through it). In your opponents turn they charge their unit of skinwalkers through it and engage something. Would their ARM be 16 or 18 (unyielding) for working out damage. My gut says 18 because you cannot interrupt the movement to do anything else by which point they are engaged, but hey, I would rather get a correct answer than just go by my gut.

Cheers in advance

As I am reading it, the damage roll triggers as soon as they enter the AOE as per the wording on the spell. Your reference to not being able to interrupt movement does not apply here, that only applies if you wanted to interrupt your own models movement to use an ability or spell or feat or something. Look at how free strikes work - they trigger as soon as you leave the melee range of an enemy model.

What KingKodo said. You will suffer the damage as soon, as you enter the aoe, it doesnt matter where you move afterwards.Remember, that in Warmahordes, you can suffer damage while you are moving. These can cause some fun stuff, like a warjack losing his movement to a free strike. He will now not be able to advance any further and you will have to figure out, at what point he left the enemy models melee range, what caused the free strike, cause he will stop at that exact spot

No he won't. Jacks with crippled movement systems can still move, they just can't run or charge.

Which is completly true, i guess i had a brainfart there. Sorry

The models will not gain the unyeilding bonus as a unit moves on a model by model basis, I.e., model a moves then is followed by model b until the unit has completed their movement.
