The Direwolf FAQ the best independent FAQ out there.

It's pretty hypocritical to deride GW for valuing their pocketbooks over what's good for the growth of the hobby while you are buying on ebay and playing in your friendly local gaming store.

Direwolf Daemons of Chaos FAQ - v7.01

Format

Q = Question
A = Answer
S = Source

Note: References below to the "Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ" refer to the
Daemons of Chaos FAQ available in .pdf format from the GW "Shrine of Knowledge"
webpage.

DAEMON SPECIAL RULES

Q. Does Insane Courage apply to an Instability test?

A. It does indeed, although it should perhaps be referred to as Insane Stability
for clarity. So if a daemonic unit rolls a double 1 for its Break test, it will not
suffer any additional wounds.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Is the maximum amount of wounds which can be inflicted by a failed Instability
test limited to 10 (a roll of ‘12’ compared to a floor of Leadership 2)? Or for
purposes of Instability tests, can the Daemons effective leadership value be
reduced lower than Leadership 2?

A. Remember that combat resolution adds to the dice roll, rather than being
subtracted by from Leadership. As a result, there is no upper limit on the number
of casualties that can be caused this way. For example, if a unit of Bloodletters
loses a combat by 12 and rolls a 5 for its Leadership test, it would suffer 10
wounds as follows: 5 (dice roll) + 12 (combat resolution modifier) – 7 (Leadership)
= 10 wounds suffered.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

THE DAEMONIC LEGIONS

Q. Can spells (e.g. The Beasts Cowers) and magic items which effect “Monsters” be
used against (or to benefit) Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes ?

A. Yes. Unless a spell or magic item has specific language (or a FAQ ruling)
exempting Greater Daemons and Daemon Princes from its effects, they may be used
against (or to benefit) them. Page 30 of Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos clearly
categorizes these models as both characters and monsters.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 30

*****

Q. Are the special character Heroes which are permitted to join friendly units (for
example, Skulltaker), allowed to join friendly units with a different mark?

A. As they are not defined as Heralds, yes they may join friendly units with a
different mark.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ.

*****

Q. Are a Herald's Locus abilities still in effect if the Herald refuses a challenge
and is therefore moved to the rear ranks?

A. Yes, the Locus abilities are not magic items and are thus not negated by
refusing a challenge.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos pages 36-38 / Rulebook pages 73, 77

*****

Q. Are the Flamer of Tzeentch’s “Flames of Tzeentch” ability Flaming attacks ?

A. Yes, they’re even given as an example in the Flaming attacks rule in the
Warhammer rulebook.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Are Screamers’ slashing attacks flaming?

A. Yes.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. When an enemy unit fails a panic test caused by the Slashing Attacks of
Screamers of Tzeentch, in which direction does the enemy unit flee ?

A. As panic tests for suffering 25%+ casualties are taken at the end of the phase
in which they are suffered, the enemy unit would flee directly away from the final
position of the Screamers of Tzeentch.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 41 / Rulebook page 49

*****

Q. Can Beasts of Nurgle and Fiends of Slaanesh enter buildings?

A. Beasts of Nurgle and Fiends of Slaanesh are infantry, have a Unit Strength of
3 per model, and thus can enter buildings as normal.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

DAEMONIC GIFTS

Q. Are daemonic gifts considered to be 'hidden' items/rules, or should their
presence be declared at deployment?

A. Gifts should be considered ‘hidden’ in the same manner as Bretonnian Virtues,
Vampiric Powers, Wood Elf Spites, etc. are considered ‘hidden’.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 92

*****

Q. Are a Herald’s daemonic gifts still in effect if a Herald refuses a challenge
and is therefore moved to the rear ranks?

A. Yes, as gifts are explicitly not magic items they are still in effect.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 92 / Rulebook pages 73, 77

*****

Q. How does a Daemonic Gift work in combination with mundane items? For example,
the Balesword with flail for the Great Unclean One – would it combine the +2
Strength bonus with the effects of the Balesword? Or Armour of Khorne for a
Bloodthirster – is it added to his heavy armour for a +1 save?

A. Daemonic Gifts are unlike magic items in that they reflect a particular ability
of the Daemon in question, rather than something that it carries. This is normally
described in a manner that our weak mortal minds can comprehend – as swords, amour
and staves, for example but the actual form the gift takes can vary, often minute
by minute, according to the will of the Chaos gods. This means that differing
bonuses - +2 Strength of the flail and D6 Wounds of the Balesword – stack for a
greater effect. Conversely, where there are two bonuses of the same type (e.g.
armour save 5+ and armour save 3+) the Daemon simply benefits from the more
powerful ability.

As a further example, a Bloodthirster with both the Axe of Khorne and the Firestorm
Blade gifts has Strength 7 Flaming Attacks with Killing Blow. Note that he must
use all the effects of the two gifts and cannot choose not to use one of them.

Lastly please note that as stated in the small paragraph at the start of the
Daemonic Gifts section, a Daemon may not take multiples of the same gift and in
examples where a Daemon could, say, take two kinds of armour as gifts, the save
produced does not stack.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Following the answers related to gifts above, can daemonic gifts stated to be
hand weapons in their description combine with another hand weapon to gain +1
attack in close combat? For example if you equip a Keeper of Secrets with the
Torment Blade, can it combine the Torment Blade with its base hand weapon (claws)
for +1 attack in close combat?

A. Yes, in such an instance the daemon benefits from an additional attack as the
bonus provided by a second hand weapon (+1 attack for models fighting on foot)
differs from the bonus provided by the first hand weapon.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ / Warhammer
Armies: Daemons of Chaos pages 92, 94 / Rulebook page 56

*****

Q. Does Pestilent Mucus force Toughness tests on the enemy even when the wound
suffered is saved/regenerated by the Daemon?

A. No. It only forces Toughness tests when the wound is unsaved by the Daemon.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Does Pestilent Mucus force Toughness tests on the enemy when the wounds the
Daemon suffers are from a failed Daemonic Instability test?

A. Yes. The wording of Pestilent Mucus does not include any restrictions or
qualifying language regarding the source of the wounds.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos pages 30, 94

*****

Q. How does the gift "Daemonic Robes" interact with hits that wound automatically?

A. Daemonic Robes only works against attacks that roll to wound. As something
that wounds automatically does not roll to wound, the Robes offer no protection.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Can a daemon with Nurgling Infestation add the Nurgling base to an enemy unit
of Nurglings?

A. No. Friendly units only.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Can an enemy model affected by the Temptator gift issue a challenge? If so, who
decides if he will do so, and which side will respond?

A. He may neither issue nor accept a challenge – he has other priorities now. In
the spirit of the rules, we should perhaps allow him to issue a challenge against
another character in his own unit, but this seems a little unfair so we are not
going to.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Is Siren Song suppose to read that you have to charge the Daemon with the Siren
Song ability per the normal Warhammer rules ?

A. Yes, indeed. Remember that the unit must be able to charge – if the target
unit cannot reach because the Siren Song using Daemon is out of its charge range,
the ability does not work and is wasted. Accordingly, servants of Slaanesh should
be very careful about using the gift on units with random charge ranges.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Do units Immune to Psychology or Unbreakable have the option to flee from Siren
Song or must they charge ?

A. These units must charge, as they can never voluntarily flee.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Do attacks from a Daemon Prince's "Flames of Tzeentch" Gift count as flaming?

A. Yes, treat the Flames of Tzeentch gift as Flaming attacks.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
pages 82, 93

*****

Q. Can a daemon with "Master of Sorcery" choose to use the Lore of Tzeentch, and
if so, does it know all the spells from that lore? Or must it choose one of the
Lores from the Warhammer rulebook?

A. Lores from the Warhammer rulebook only.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Is Noxious Vapours a permanent effect? Do models regain Always Strikes First /
lose Always Strikes Last when they are no longer in base contact with the Daemon?

A. Once a model is no longer in base contact with the Daemon, it cannot be
affected by Noxious Vapours.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Can a unit in base contact with a Daemon with Enrapturing Gaze take Leadership
tests which are taken by the unit as a whole (such as break tests) on their
unmodified Leadership if not all models in the unit are in base contact with the
Daemon?

A. Units take Leadership test on the best available Leadership in the unit. Thus,
in a situation where all of a unit is not in base to base contact with a Daemon
with Enrapturing Gaze, the unit may use its unmodified Leadership.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What is the correct procedure for placing the breath weapon template on an
enemy unit when a Herald of Nurgle uses the Stream of Bile gift (or casts the
Stream of Corruption spell)? (Assuming the Herald and target unit are on the same
level).

A. A Herald of Nurgle is not a large target, but players should treat him as if
he is one for purposes of these abilities (granting him the ability to see all of
the target models in an enemy unit). Therefore, he may use the breath weapon
abilities on enemy units as normal.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Is Iridescent Corona applied before or after impact hits? In addition, is it
resolved before or after challenges are issued ?

A. This ability should be resolved simultaneously with impact hits – remember that
any wounds caused do count towards combat resolution.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. If two models fighting against each other both have Pestilent Mucus, is there
any limit as to how many times the gifts can trigger each other?

A. No there is no limit. The T5 / T6 of the models involved should limit the
amount of times the wounding cycle occurs.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 94

*****

Q. How do the Daemonic Gifts of Dark Insanity and Awesome Strength interact with
magic items / special abilities which allow the enemy to swap characteristics with
a model possessing one of them?

A. The Daemonic Gifts of Dark Insanity and Awesome Strength are inherent
properties of the possessing Daemon and thus modify the related characteristic of
the possessing Daemon prior to the game. Thus if a magic item / special ability
swaps characteristics with the Daemon it will be the modified characteristic
(2D6+2 Attacks / S10) which is swapped.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 92 / Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

DAEMONIC ICONS

Q. Are daemonic icons considered to be classified as Magic Items, Daemonic Gifts,
or something else completely?

A. Daemonic icons are classified as magic items with the exceptions that they are
immune to any spells or abilities that destroy, steal, or otherwise alter the
behavior of magic items, and you may have multiples of the same Daemonic Icon in
an army. Note that multiples of the same Daemonic Icon may not be taken for a
single Daemon.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos pages 92, 95

*****

Q. Is a Daemonic Icon still in effect if a Herald refuses a challenge and is
therefore moved to the rear ranks?

A. No. As noted in the Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ, Daemonic Icons are treated
as magic items with the exceptions noted above. An exception to allow the use of
a Daemonic Icon from rear ranks does not exist.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos pages 92,
95 / Rulebook page 73

*****

Q. Does The Great Standard of Sundering give a -2 penalty to Nehekharan
Incantations or Ogre Gut Magic?

A. No, as they are not spell lores in the conventional manner.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What effect does the The Great Standard of Sundering have on spells such as the
Vampire Counts’ Invocation of Nehek, Dark Elves; Power of Darkness, High Elves’
Drain Magic, and Lizardmen’ s Drain Magic, which appear outside any “Lore of
Magic” listing?

A. For the purposes of The Great Standard of Sundering, these spells are
considered to not be part of any spell lore, and so therefore cannot be affected.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. In a Daemon vs. Daemon battle, does the Standard of Chaos Glory affect Daemons
on both sides?

A. Yes.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What is the correct sequence for charges and reactions when the Siren Standard
is in play?

A. If the defending unit declares a stand & shoot reaction, prior to resolving the
shots the charge should be measured to see if it is within range. If the charge
is within range, the stand & shoot reaction is automatically changed to a hold
reaction.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page
95 / Rulebook page 19

*****

Q. If an enemy unit is within 12" of the Great Icon of Despair and is within 12"
of its Ld 9 general, but the enemy general is not within 12" of the Icon, what is
the effective Leadership of the unit?

A. The effective Leadership of the unit would be a 7 in such a case. The enemy
unit is first allowed to increase its leadership value to that of the General and
that leadership value is then reduced by 2.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page
95 / Rulebook page 82

*****

DAEMONIC MAGIC

Q. Are all spells cast by Tzeentch daemons considered to be flaming attacks?
A. No.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Are the Tzeentch spells Flickering Fire of Tzeentch and Tzeentch's Firestorm
considered to be “Flaming”?

A. Yes.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. The spells "Shrivelling Pox" and "Pavane of Slaanesh" are cast at single models.
Can these spells target characters (or champions) which are usually protected by
being attached to a unit?

A. Yes.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Does Miasma of Pestilence target the model casting the spell, or is it
targeted at enemy models in base to base contact with it?

A. The target of the spell is the caster.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. If a Nurgle spellcaster casts Miasma of Pestilence, how does this affect other
friendly models in base contact? Can they choose to only attack the enemy models
with reduced stats?

A. This effectively creates a mixed unit of rank and file models such as a Beast
Herd. Treat the allocation of attacks and removal of casualties accordingly.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page
62

*****

Q. Does Miasma of Pestilence reduce the number of impact hits a chariot causes
to 1?

A. No. Models with a special form of attack, execute that special form of attack
as normal.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
page 62

*****

Q. Does the Miasma of Pestilence spell only affect enemy models in base to base
with the caster at the start of each combat? Or in a case where friendly models
with a higher Initiative value are striking prior to the caster (killing some of
the models in base to base with the caster) are enemy models which step up in the
ranks to replace the fallen models affected as well?

A. It only affects models in base to base contact with the caster at the start of
each combat.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
page 62


*****

Q. How does Miasma of Pestilence interact with enemy spells which provide upgrades
to enemy models (e.g. The Bear’s Anger and Flaming Sword of Rhuin)?

A. There is no conflict between the spells in these cases. The enemy model will
have its WS, S, T, I and A characteristics reduced to 1 and then the stat increases
from spell will be applied. So in the case of The Bear’s Anger the enemy model
will be WS1 S3 T2 I1 A4 and in the case of the Flaming Sword of Rhuin the enemy
model will be WS1 S4 T1 I1 A2.
S. Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 62 / Rulebook pages 112, 115

*****

Q. May a Tzeentch Wizard use a successful casting of Glean Magic to cast one of
the target Wizard’s bound spells (or in the case of Liche Priests and High Liche
Priest’s their incantations) ? How does this apply to bound spells the wizard may
posses from a magic item ?

A. Glean Magic affects only the spells a Wizard knows. If that Wizard has innate
bound spells, Glean Magic can use them. Any spells that are bound to items may
not be used. Glean Magic does not affect Incantations (i.e. the spell may not be
used to cast an Incantation).
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. When a Tzeentch Wizard successfully casts Glean Magic, does the enemy have the
option of dispelling the new spell originated from it?

A. No. If you want to stop the second spell you must stop Glean Magic.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. If two opposing Tzeentch Wizards both have the same spell, can one of them cast
that spell and subsequently use Glean Magic to cast it again, this time from the
enemy's copy?

A. Yes.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
page 61 / Rulebook page 107

*****

SPECIAL CHARACTERS

*****

Q. What is the correct Movement value of Skulltaker?

A. 5 (not 4).
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Are the special characters Skarbrand, Kairos Fateweaver, and Ku’Gath
Plaguefather considered monsters in the same way as Greater Daemons?

A. Yes they are.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
pages 30, 51-53

*****

Q. What is the proper Unit Strength of Ku’Gath Plaguefather?

A. He is US 10 – ignore the Palanquin’s unit strength in this case.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. If one of Kairos Fateweaver's heads casts a RiP spell, does the other head
casting a spell in a subsequent phase dispel that spell?

A. No. Treat each head as a separate wizard for purposes of RiP spells.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. If Kairos Fateweaver's magic level is reduced by a miscast or some other means,
do both heads lose a spell? Are the number of power dice he generates reduced?

A. If the head casting a spell loses a level due to a miscast or other means;
only the head casting at the time loses a spell. As the model as a whole loses a
level, it would however reduce the number of power dice generated.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 52 /
Rulebook page 109

*****

Q. Does a model with Aldred's Casket choose which of Kairos Fateweaver's heads
to steal a spell from, or does he randomly select a spell from all those the model
knows?

A. Select one of the heads (i.e. one of the wizards) to steal a spell from.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Do the Necrotic Missiles hurled by Ku’Gath Plaguefather have a minimum guess
range of 12” like normal stone throwers?

A. No. Necrotic Missiles have no minimum guess range.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Can the Blue Scribes join friendly units?

A. No.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Does the Changeling benefit from a herald's Locus of Tzeentch and/or count
towards the number of models used to determine the unit's magic level? In
addition, does the Changeling count as a unit champion, character, or simply a
unit upgrade?

A. The Changeling should be treated as a unit champion for a unit of Pink Horrors.
He is not a Herald and he does count towards the number of models used to
determine the unit’s magic level.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. How does the Changeling’s Formless Horror ability interact with enemy models
that have multiple parts such as characters riding monstrous mounts, chariots, and
cavalry? Can he choose any stats from the enemy model that he wants (the best
from each part) or does he have to select a specific part of the model to swap
stats with?

A. In situation where the Changeling wishes to swap stats with a single enemy
model consisting of multiple parts he can choose to swap a mix different stats
(i.e. the best from each part).
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Can the Changeling use his Formless Horror ability to swap stats with an
enemy model that is engaged in a challenge with another model friendly to the
Changeling? For example if a Tomb King is in base to base contact with the
Changeling and at the same time engaged in a challenge with a Herald of Tzeentch,
may the Changeling swap stats with the Tomb King?

A. Yes it can.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What happens when the Changeling is in base to base contact with an Empire
character that has Van Horstman’s Speculum and the Speculum bearer is engaged in
a challenge with another model friendly to the Changeling? In what order is the
swapping of stats resolved in such a situation?

A. The Speculum must be used first.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What happens when the Changeling is engaged in a challenge with an Empire
character that has Van Horstman’s Speculum? In what order is the swapping of
stats resolved in such a situation?

A. The Speculum must be used first. The Empire character may choose to swap stats
with the Changeling, then the Changeling may choose to swap stats with his
challenger or a model from outside the challenge.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ / Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer
Armies: Daemons of Chaos page 56

*****

Q. Does the result on the Tally of Pestilence that makes all poison attacks wound
automatically on a 4+ still apply if the model with poison requires a 5+ or 6+
to hit ?

A. No, the attack must still hit for the poison to take effect.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. Does the bonus to cast from The Tally of Pestilence increase the level of
bound spells which contain spells from the Daemon Lore of Nurgle?

A. No, the bonus does not apply to bound spells.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
page 57

*****

Q. If the Masque uses The Dance of Dreaming to reduce an enemy unit's Leadership,
but that unit is within range of its general (who is not in the unit), what is
the effective Leadership of the unit?

A. Give the general's leadership to the unit, then subtract D3. So with a
leadership 9 general, the unit would have an effective leadership of 6-8,
depending upon the roll.
S. Direwolf FAQ Council Interpretation / Warhammer Armies: Daemons of Chaos
page 58

*****

Q. If the Masque uses The Dance of Dreaming to reduce an enemy unit's Leadership,
can a separate effect (such as The Great Icon of Despair) subsequently reduce
that unit's Leadership below 2?

A. Yes it can.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

THE ARMY LIST

Q. What is the exact price to add the Changeling to a unit of Pink Horrors (is his
listed price the price to upgrade one model?) Also what is the minimum number
of models in a unit of Pink Horrors including the Changeling?

A. The Changeling is an upgrade, so he replaces a Pink Horror and his cost is
added to that of the model he replaces (i.e. the total cost is 72 points). The
minimum number of models remains the same – 10.
S. Official Daemons of Chaos FAQ

*****

Q. What is the exact price to add Karanak to a unit of flesh hounds (is his listed
price the price to upgrade one model or his total cost?) Also what is the minimum
number of models in a unit of flesh hounds including Karanak?

A. Karanak is an upgrade, so he replaces a Flesh Hound and his cost is added to
that of the model he replaces (i.e. the total cost is 110 points). The minimum
number of models remains the same – 5.

And just a reminder on the intent of the Direwolf FAQ



--------------------------------------------
THE DIREWOLF WARHAMMER FAQ COMPILATION




INTRODUCTION

The Direwolf FAQs are a compliation of the various Q&As published by Games Workshop, answers from the Warhammer Design Team posted on the internet or received directly, and questions and answers which were voted on by the Direwolf group's elected representatives - the Direwolf FAQ Council ("Council").

The answers contained in this FAQ compilation have all been thoroughly researched. Every effort has been made to consider all available resources including the game designers opinions where known, rulebooks, army books, annuals, documents from the Games Workshop website, and White Dwarf articles. The Council has access to the Warhammer Design Team to ask questions and when an official resouce did not answer a question, a question was submitted to the Warhammer Design Team for guidance. Where an official resource or member of the Warhammer Design Team did not answer the question, a clear majority of the Council was required before any issue was deemed "settled" enough to be included in this FAQ compilation as a Council Interpretation.

The Council sees two-way dialogue as a valuable cornerstone of the process. The Council is an elected representative body, but not autocratic. Direwolf list members can question and debate a particular entry even after the Council has published it. The Council provides the best service we can to the Direwolf list members and (we hope) the general Warhammer on-line community. We enjoy it when a tournament or league organizer adopts our FAQs as a resource, or when we see an argument on another forum settled with a reference from our FAQs, because it means our hard work is helping others. At the end of the day though, we're a bunch of veteran gamers, not the publishers of the game, and while the process in place works very well, we can't include an answer for everything.


HOW TO USE THIS FAQ

This FAQ is meant to help Warhammer gamers stop arguing and get back to playing the game!

While we recommend that you utilize these FAQ documents in your gaming group, we do not mean to imply that every ruling in these documents must be taken as gospel by all players. Quite the contrary is true. Warhammer should always be played in the way that gives you and your local players group the most pleasure. Moreover, it may be noted that according to the Rulebook, where there is no clear rule to cover a situation and players cannot come to a reasonable agreement, players should roll a D6. This D6 roll, with one side choosing "high" numbers and the other choosing "low", has no precedent value should the situation arise again, even within the same game.

However, that said, we believe the FAQ complilation is an invaluable resource for resolving rules disputes and ambiguities. Furthermore, we believe that it reflects a balanced and fair way of playing the game of Warhammer. It is our hope that in creating such a FAQ compliation we can define common ground for understanding the rules and ultimately a more enjoyable gaming experience for everyone. The Direwolf FAQs are recognized as "official rules" in tournaments and leagues which designate them as such. If you are attending a tournament or participating in a league, and wish to see them adopted, then please push the organizers to do so.

It's pretty hypocritical to deride GW for valuing their pocketbooks over what's good for the growth of the hobby while you are buying on ebay and playing in your friendly local gaming store.
