Thank you very much!

Thanks Ian, good timing to get me back to thinking about Warmaster with the gaming session due for the 15th. I've also been pondering my resolutions for this year and which army to get painted next. I liked the Ride of the Valkyries, and the tribute to Gene Cochrane. I never knew him except that his name was all over the Warmaster mags from many years ago and he was very welcoming with the Warmaster Ancients FB group.

A question that I had regarding characters on Dragons (High Elf specific). The rules dragons state that a character riding a dragon joined to a unit can make a fire breath shooting attack (A shooting attack with range 20, and attacking 3 times on 4+ as normal). If a High Elf Mage on a dragon uses the Heaven`s Fire Spell on the unit he has joined to allow it to shoot twicce, would he also be able to shoot the Fire Breath twice if the enemy is in range? I did not know on which video it would be proper to ask this (Shooting, Spells or Characters), and ended up deciding to ask here.

[@iainmstanding]

I would say that as it is the unit that is affected by the spell, not the character only the unit would don't twice.

Hello! Question for you regarding home back, on two instances in the book it states may fly 'up to' 10xd6, however states later must move full distance. Would you be able to clarify what the 'up to' means? (Seems its actually stay still or move fully).

[@iainmstanding]

@@Jimbo818 Yes, the max distance you can home back is the roll of one d6 times 10 cm, so 10 to 60 cm. You must home back towards your nominated character, and cannot go past them. So the distance to the character may well be different to the home back distance that you rolled. Just move as far as you can towards the character, up to the max distance you rolled.

[@Jimbo818]

@iainmstanding thanks for further clarity. Does that mean if I roll a 5 and have a clear path for 50cm, however I can decide to just go 20cm or with a clear run is 50cm a 'must'. Thanks again man!

[@iainmstanding]

@@Jimbo818 yes, on a roll of 5 you must home back the whole 50 cm if you can, provided the nominated character is at least 50 cm away. If the character is less than 50 cm away, just move up to them.

[@Jimbo818]

@@iainmstanding much obliged!

[@grm746]

Hi, a question about flyers, in the official rules the iniciative movement is 10d6. did you change it to 1d6*10? Thanksn

[@iainmstanding]

Thanks for watching! Fall back moves have always been a 1d6 X 10 cm move since the original rulebook. If a random distance is expressed as d6 × X cm, you roll 1d6 and multiply the result by X. If a random distance is expressed as Xd6 cm, you roll X number of d6. Such as a fall back move is 3d6 = three dice rolled.

[@grm746]

You are right. Thanks a lot.

[@themainman2827]

Can a character leave a unit and go alone? Or is always forced to be attached to a nearby unit?

[@iainmstanding]

Characters are normally on their own as they are just markers from which you issue orders. They only join units to add attacks or terror to a unit in combat. Once they join a unit they stay with it until the next orders phase when the unit can move, leaving the character behind. But if a character joins a unit in combat they have to stay with that unit while the unit is in combat, even if this lasts several turns..
