Normally, as the moderator, I can help out both sides with new army rule questions- but since I am a participant this time, I won't be reading both Tactical Threads. That being said, if the Empire Team has any questions about the new Lizzie special rules, don't hesitate to ask.
A few germane to this battle:
Cold-blooded (3 dice on Leadership tests) you probably all know.
Predatory Fighter- TG, Krox get an extra attack attempt for every 6 they roll to hit to start. Unless they FAQ it, right now it is front row only, not for supporting attacks. Will always Pursue unless a Skink hero is within 6 inches of the unit.
Slaan Ethereral means he can't join units and is Unstable.
Tett Special Rules: can reroll Comet landing rolls that are his, at the start of every magic phase on a 2+ all mages reroll 1s when casting, otherwise reroll all 6s, and allows D3 units to Vanguard at the beginning of the game.
---------------------------------
The Terrain and Scenario:Like usual, I rolled for terrain via the BRB and then randomized their locations (
the random location rolls are not shown in the Dice Tracker- I use a D20/D6 system to figure out basic placement and then adjust from there to make it look pretty) You will notice I roll for "terrain size" as well. Since this isn't an actual table and I am not picking terrain off a shelf, it helps to change up the size of things and make it random.
Based on the initial rolls, the terrain looks like it is in Lizard terrority- but one that has been tainted by Chaos.
Three unique terrain pieces were rolled- an Altar of Khaine, a Temple of Skulls, and a Haunted Mansion.
Quick terrain rules up front- the Altar rectangle will be impassable terrain. The Temple of Skulls will not impede movement at all. The “haunted” portion of the mansion will be just the small tower portion, not the whole structure- so 6 inches radius around the small tower is the danger zone.
Otherwise two Mysterious Forests, one Mysterious Water, and a fence.
The scenario rolled was a
Pitched BattleChoices to Start:For spells, Empire got a 1,2,3,3.
I need you to pick your spells.Slaan doesn’t need to roll. The Lvl 1 Skinks got a 1 and 6. Lizzies will be deciding what to do.
Empire won the roll off to pick sides.
Need you to discuss and pick a side, Empire.Empire also won the roll off to place first.
Once you have posted here in the Battle Thread your spell choices and side, go ahead and give me your first 2 deployments. We will run the first couple two at a time to speed things up.
