The Book of Horned Skull Brutes
The Book of Horned Skull Brutes If you cannot see the Army Card graphic, check The Heroscapers Gallery for stats and special powers, plus Moltenclaw's Invasion - Collection D3 (13) - "Bugbears & Orcs"
Spoiler Alert!
"character biography" and other non-game unit info. Character Bio: These goblins are adept at running into battle and causing mayhem. They will toss their fellow goblins under the sword rather than take the damage themselves, but they are also able to whip friendly figures around in order to take their place in melee combat. No matter what, they are a terror on the battlefield and they can destroy a well planned out strategy with just one order marker. (Adapted from the Guru's front-page preview) _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications- Q. BARGE INTO BATTLE : "Friendly" figures vs. figures "you control": BARGE INTO BATTLE may displace any "friendly" figure. Does this include figures controlled by a teammate? A. Yes. Q. BARGE INTO BATTLE : "Is it time to barge yet??" : When using BARGE INTO BATTLE, should each Horned Skull Brute move and displace a friendly figure before the next one begins its movement, or should the entire squad move before using BARGE INTO BATTLE? A. After revealing an order marker on any army card, the unit gets a turn with a Movement phase followed by an Attack phase. BIB happens after the Movement of all 3, before the Attack. After revealing an Order Marker on the Horned Skull Brutes, 3 should move, then those 3 may use BIB, then those 3 may attack. Q. OHH: Wait, what? A. Just read it again. I promise, it makes sense. Q. EXPENDABLE RABBLE vs. LIFE DRAIN: This isn't what I ordered! If a figure with the LIFE DRAIN special ability (such as Cyprien Esenwein) wounds a Horned Skull Brute, does activating EXPENDABLE RABBLE deny the attacking figure the opportunity to remove a wound marker for LIFE DRAIN? A. Yes. The HSB's card instructs the player of the defending Skull Brutes to "destroy" the Goblin Cutter, not the attacking player. Since the attacker technically is not the one destroying the figure, the attacking vampire does not get to remove a wound marker for LIFE DRAIN. _________________________________________________________________ -Combinations and Synergies- Synergy Benefits Received GOBLIN CUTTERS : EXPENDABLE RABBLESynergy Benefits Offered N/AC3V and SoV Custom Synergies

Re: The Book of the Horned Skull Brutes
As always, suggestions are helpful. There isn't much for these guys, but if there are any major clarifications I didn't see, please let me know and I'll add them in. They are the most interesting part of the Books, IMHO.
Thanks. ~Spite |

Re: The Book of the Horned Skull Brutes
For barge into battle do you have to barge all at the same time before attacking, or do you do it one at a time, barge then attack, then the next one and so on.
Things are always subject to change.

Move + Barge with all and then attack with all.

1) The entire squad gets a Movement Phase. 2) After moving with the entire squad, then each HSB in the squad gets a chance to Barge. 3) After Barging into Battle, each of the 3 gets a chance to Attack. |

Re: The Book of the Horned Skull Brutes
Barge into battle will be useful to get expensive squads out of engagement and with their solid stats they could be used as bodygaurds for a key figure Kelda/Raelin. Quick question: Does BIB work if your opponet is held by cyberclaw?

So switching out with your X17? If so, then yes, that is legal.

If you're asking whether you can use BIB to, say, pull a goblin cutter out of engagement with a Gladiatron, though, the answer is no. The text of Cyberclaw specifically states that it overrides other powers. |

Re: The Book of the Horned Skull Brutes
Okay, sorry if this is a dumb question so just bear with me.
If I use "Expendable Rabble", can I then activate "Scurry"? It is the opponents figure making the kill so I would think it would but then again... |

Mechanically, you're blocking a wound and destroying a figure, not redirecting an attack. Edit: it would be cool if it worked though. I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Re: The Book of the Horned Skull Brutes
Agreed. The Goblin isn't being destroyed by a normal attack (which activates Scurry), but instead by a special power (Expendable Rabble) that is activated by a normal attack.
