In escort civilians it refers to linking, but afaik linking isn't defined anywhere. I assume that the objective moves with the linked model but that's not expressed anywhere.

The models can only activate if they share a keyword. Not poking, just clarifying.


This is actually not correct, you can absolutely activate models that don't have the same keyword, so long as they do not activate with other units of a different keyword.

Example: My Kaxes have all died, but I still have 3 Deepmen, and a Gutter Friar. I can activate those 3 Deepmen off of the friar, BUT, the friar and gutters may not join in. Obviously they don't get the inspire either.

I think I see the confusion with my statement, but what you're saying is still the same as what I said. The activated models must share a keyword.

The irony of trying to clarify a statement with a statement that is itself unclear is not lost on me...

I've added an edit to my earlier post fixing the confusion.

Linked is unique to the Escort Civilians motivation.

Yes, you are correct.

Perhaps it would be good to insure it's defined what linked means. New players and tournament players would benefit from a clear definition. For instance is it stuck at a certain orientation to the linked model or can it freely rotate so long as it's in base contact.

I have a question about enemies "suffering attacks" and backlash/riposte.

For example - When Bloodchild attack with its Elemental Blast he has an additional ability "For each hit generated by this attack, this model mayperform a [1] magic attack on an enemy within 3” of the target." And as I understand he will suffer from magic bakclash if unfortunate.

But what about when Shadrus Arikim attack with his Fiery Ark and "Once this attack is completed, up to 3 enemies targeted by this attack suffers a [1] magic attack."?
Or when enemy of Blind Hakar "suffers" [1] attack from her Riposte or Guard Dog?
Does those attacks can generate backlashes or ripostes? Is there "attacker" or those attacks just comes from nowhere?

I think not, because Greathorn's ability Wreathed in Flame explicitly says: "When this model activates all enemies within 1” suffer a [1] magic attack. These attacks cannot generate Backlash."

But I want to be sure.

There is no attacker when a model suffers an attack. Effects that require an attacker would not work. Effects that require an enemy model or an active model would though.

For the Blood Child's elemental feedback, if I roll a Come Hither (3d10) will attack and get one success and two failures I don't trigger the effect, correct?

Also...

Whenever an enemy fails to hit this model with a Will Attack, that enemy suffers a [1]d10 magic attack.

Is "hit" supposed to be "get a success on"?

Another two:

Carcharian Pit Fighter gets its Counterattack and kills and enemy with an overpower. Does Blood Frenzy trigger?

Is there a cap on the number of times Blood Frenzy triggers? The way its worded right now you can keep on doing it if you keep on killing with overpowers.

Elemental Feedback would only trigger if no successes were generated.

Blood Frenzy triggers each time an Overpower result is generated. There is no limit as long as that criteria keeps being met.

Apologies if the answer to this is obviously, I'm extremely new to the game.

Your commander gives every model in your army their Training rule. General Hu-Ren's Training states 'Training: Enemy Leaders suffer [-1] to Leadership Values'. So is the -1 penalty cumulative? Eg, five models all have that rule, so enemy leaders suffer -5 to leadership.

I'm baffled, since if it's cumulative it seems incredible strong (essentially shutting down combined activations), but if it's not, it seems nearly useless.

A model cannot suffer the same named effect more than once. Because the source of the -1 leadership is always from the training it does not stack.

That's disappointing, it means that Hu-Ren is practically useless as a commander, unless you're playing very small games. Which is a shame, as thematically he's great.

One more, this time about the Enlightenment rule. It states that you copy X amount of combat skills 'within range'. What exactly is the range? Is it X (so 1 skill within 1'', 2 skills within 2'' etc), or is there a set limit I've overlooked?
