Interpretation of WHFB FAQ for monstrous cav and beast
« on: December 12, 2013, 08:50:03 AM »
In the FAQ it says that a rider of a monstrous cav model get its full number of attacks when making support attacks, up to a maximum of three. Furthermore, for monstrous beasts it says that monstrous beasts get their full number of attacks when making supporting attacks up to a maximum of three.

This then means that for example Skullcrushers in two ranks will get their full number of attacks from both riders and Juggernauts as supporting attacks, since Juggernauts are monstrous beasts. Is that correct? Or does the Juggernaut lose this rule as they are part of monstrous cav model?

BRB p. 82: When a cavalry model makes supporting attacks, only the rider can strike — we assume that the mount lacks both the discipline and the reach to fight through those ahead of it.

The unit type of a Skullcrusher is "monstrous cavalry", not "monstrous beast" and therefore only the rider gets supporting attacks.

It is not enough to have no ideas of your own; you must also be incapable of expressing them.

Thanks. I got confused when the Juggernaut is referred to as a monstrous beast in the summary in the WoC AB.
