WHFB and am digging through the rule book and I cannot find a description of what magical attacks do, I am not talking about spells, a couple of my units can get magical attacks but I cannot find what magical attacks do.

Help me please I am so lost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872374.page GMT Magical attacks from weapons what do they do?
It use to be that certain magical items gave you differing bonus' depending on whether the incoming attacks were magical or not (for instance, a 3+ Ward Save against magical attacks). Similarly, Daemons as a whole use to not get their ward saves against Magical Attacks.

While the magic item thing still exists, it's rarer now. All magic attacks do for the most part now is (beyond the benefits the weapons provide): Allow you to ignore Forest Spirit Ward Saves, allow you to hit Ethereal units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872396.page GMT Re:Magical attacks from weapons what do they do? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/872416.page GMT Magical attacks from weapons what do they do?
Ethereal units are immune to normal attacks, not so vs magical attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886688.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886688.page GMT Magical attacks from weapons what do they do?

Ethereal units are immune to normal attacks, not so vs magical attacks.

And the only Ethereal units I can think of off the top of my head are... Spirit Hosts, those under a certain Wood Elf spell effect, and a Vampire Character with a certain trait? IMO, Flaming Attacks have become as valuable as magic attacks once were (the number of models with Flammable has not decreased, and those with Regeneration-combinations seem to be going up).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886780.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886780.page GMT Magical attacks from weapons what do they do? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250243/886990.page GMT
