I would get a lump in my throat if Dund attempted to negate one order marker, never mind three... I'm playing in a tourney on June 28, a full two weeks and a day after the new releases hit the shelves, plenty of time for folks to get out and aquire them. I expect to see plenty of builds with Kato and the Samurai, the Elves, and Kosumet with his new Wolves To go a different rout I'm thinking of going all counter to those units. Morsbane, Dund, large figs for the wolves... could be interesting. -insert signature here- |

Re: The Book of Morsbane
It's probably not a big deal, but why does Morsbane's power say "at the end of the turn"?
What turn? Anyone's turn? Each of my turns? Is it just one particular turn? I assume it means at the end of a turn with Morsbane, but wouldn't it have been just as simple to write "at the end of his turn"? I just thought I'd check to make sure I wasn't missing something. |

Re: The Book of Morsbane
Am I the only one who is seeing Morsebane as a potential anti-Q9 unit? I know this sounds crazy, but follow along:
Say that you have Jorhdawn, Arkmer, Morsebane, and Kyntela Gwyn all clustered together as snug as a bug in a rug with Ulginesh nearby. This sounds tricky, but with Emirroon around this is not actually too difficult. Now, if your opponent has Q9 his initial idea is to tie you up with something like rats, and then Queglix you for the kill. But here is the problem: Morsebane's Rod of Negation has the same range as the Queglix. With there being a 1/4 chance of Q9 being either negated or killed, your opponent will probably be a bit wary of charging Q9 in there to kill Morsebane, especially since he can use the rod even when his is engaged. So naturally, he will use his secondary attacker to clean things up. The only problem for your opponent is that Arkmer and Jorhdawn are using ranged attacks of 4 to demolish anything that comes within range (unless if they have something like Minions, Zettians, Sentinals, etc.) Would this work? |

Re: The Book of Morsbane
I want to make sure I am understanding this right. When trying to negate a squad with Morsbane, if you roll a 20 you only get to kill one figure not the whole squad? Do you have to choose to kill one figure on 20 or can you choose to negate instead because it seems to me that when using Morsbane against a squad a 20 would be less desirable then getting to negate?

Re: The Book of Morsbane
You destroy the figure you chose before rolling the d20.

Re: The Book of Morsbane
Not sure I understand Necro's comment. Topher, you must destroy the fig, but it doesn't cost you a marker. As to which is preferable... dunno. Sometimes knocking out a quarter to a half of an elite squad is better than nullifying it (the Zettian Guards are an obvious example here). For others, you can debate - is a dead Nakita better than a full live team without their specials?

Re: The Book of Morsbane
Say an order marker comes up on Morsbane. After moving and attacking, the only target available for the Rod of Negation is one that has already been negated. He wants to take another shot at that figure in hopes of getting a 20 and finishing it off.
1. Can he roll in the first place against an already-negated unit? 2. If he can and does, will he waste a negation marker if he rolls a 16-19 against the unit? |

Re: The Book of Morsbane
Looks to me like yes and yes.
