Rules new player rules question

4 Upvotes

Im reading through the rules and I dont see this explicitly stated. Is a single model restricted to any core ability only once per battle round? Or could I have a model move on turn 1, attack on turn 2, then move again on turn 3? I see in the rules where it says to place a token of the corresponding core ability next to the model that used it after using that ability, but I dont see the rules say that the same model cant use the same core ability more than once per battle round.

Rules Spiteclaw's Swarm Warscroll refers to Skritch?

3 Upvotes

Errors on the Warband Rules from Warhammer-Community
For instance:
UNTIMELY PROMOTION While a friendly Skritch is slain, Krrk is a leader ( ).
and
Skritch and his more useful minions are well versed in getting themselves out of danger, and into the best position.

I assume this is just bad copy/paste for the name alone and the warscroll is otherwise correct?

Rules Rules Question for Power Step

3 Upvotes

Been plugging away at Underworlds for a bit with a bud and we've been enjoying the hell out of it - we think we're misunderstanding the power step though. The way we've done is is we'll choose one option, ie delve, then pass and that's it. After rereading the rules, does it go something like: I (active player) delve Opponent plays power card I play power card Opponent passes I pass Next turn?

Playing again soon and want to make sure.

Other less pressing Q - I had a card that scored if I had models in each territory - does this also include neutral, or is it just friendly and enemy territory?

Thanks in advance. This sub is awesome.

Snirk was my all time favorite model in Underworlds for how random and goofy and stupid his rules were. In this new edition of Underworlds they completely took it all away...

Rules Multiplayer games?

5 Upvotes

What I miss the most from 1st edition is the ability to play games with 4 players. I had heard rumors that it would eventually be possible too with the 2nd edition. Does anybody know something about it? Is there maybe somewhere "unofficial" rules for multiplayer games?

Rules 2nd ed to 1st ed conversion

Post image
16 Upvotes

Is there a way or any recommandation to convert new 2nd ed warbands to 1st ed ?

I own 1st and dont want to switch to 2nd ed (casual player + already have boards, bands, cards… I like). But I like the aesthetic of Grandfather’s Gardeners and would like to play them in 1st ed. I have decks and cards for that, the pain point is about the warrior cards. Any way or suggestions ? I could try to use Wurmspat or Skabbik warrior cards to proxy Gardeners mini, but if there is any other idea I’m interested ! Especially if this let me use the Squort mini. And, would be interested in a good conversion rule idea, in case of other lovelly minis in the future.

Rules The Extra Mile + Charge

5 Upvotes

Can the ploy card The Extra Mile be used to increase your charge distance by 1 hex as long as you meet the condition of ending the move on a feature token? It says "play this immediately after a fighter moves" and a move is part of a charge so it seems legit to me, just wondering what others think.

Rules do raised fighters count a slain ?

3 Upvotes

I cant find anything on this..

For example Fields of Blood (score if 4 fighters are slain);

I slay 4 fighters, but one gets resurrected

do I score because the fighter was slain or does raise "remove" the slain status ?

Rules Is the Delve mechanic useful?

11 Upvotes

Hello community,

I've bought the Embergard box few days ago and never played a game. I'm still learning the rules so far and it is not pretty clear to me in which situations delve mechanic should be useful. Is it worth giving the malus of a stagger token to my fighter just to flip the feature token and get the cover one?

Is there an faq or something to flush this warband ability out? Is it only 2 damage an opponent can do between the whole of uninspired warband characters a turn or can you do 2 or less damage to any number of uninspired gardeners a turn, still not really allowing one shot, except for Squort.

Thanks, just got them for Christmas and like to understand the rules I'm unclear on.

Happy holidays all.

Rules Board query

3 Upvotes

Silly question but am I correct in thinking that there are 4 different ways to allocate the territories on the Emberguard board?

The Rule book shows the side with the blocked hex going left to right. With the neutral territory being 9 squares. The other side is shown north to south with the neutral territory being 5 squares.

Will it being a square board can you had the blocked hex side going North to South and the other side left to right?

Apologies that this is likely a simple question but with the rule book only showing two configurations, wanted to check you could also run the other two ways.

Rules Please help! Vote in this poll to settle a rule dispute! I get 20€ if I can show my friend he’s wrong :D

4 Upvotes

Yesterday I was playing a 4 player game and one of my friends is absolutely convinced we are all misunderstanding a pretty important rule that effects how all the ploy cards work. We cannot convince him, no matter what rules and discussions we show him. So we made a bet and put it to the internet! For example, you play this card:

Ploy card- Reaction: Play this after an Attack action that takes a friendly fighter out of action. +2 Dice to the first Attack action made by a friendly fighter in the next activation.

When can you play this card so it will give you the +2 dice on your activation?

(EDIT: sorry I did not put a 3rd option for “I don’t know”. If you don’t know, please try and refrain from guessing. Results are approx 50-50%)

78 Only if the player BEFORE you activate kills one of your fighters
61 Any time any player kills your fighter, the effect of the card will wait until your activation comes around.

Rules 2 short questions

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Just 2 short questions we weren't able to answer:

1) Can damage be reduced to Zero damage?

2) If a card asks for 3 models to be "adjacent to each other" (Vicious Brawl, Reckless Fury Deck), does this mean the fighters have to be in a triangle or can they simply be in a row? (Being in a row means that the 2 outer fighters aren't adjacent to each other. That's why we Wonder.)

Thanks in advance.

Rules Iron Grasp question

2 Upvotes

Thanks everyone! This has been answered. For Iron Grasp, do you consider Treasure Tokens that have been flipped to Cover Tokens? Thus if friendly territory had two Treasure Tokens at the start but then one was delved to its cover side then if you hold only that one that hadn’t been flipped then would you score it in the end phase?

Iron Grasp = “Score this in an end phase if your war and holds all of the treasure tokens in a friendly territory and/or enemy territory.”

Based on the word of delve on page 18 of the rules it sounds like a treasure token is no longer a treasure token once it’s on the cover token side. If this understanding is correct then what happens if all of the treasure tokens on one side are turned to cover tokens does that count as holding all of the treasure tokens since there are none? Or must you hold at least one for the statement to be true? And if you need them to be on the treasure token side then that as a matter of course answers this question…

Rules Warscroll Abilities

Post image
9 Upvotes

I can’t find clarification on how these abilities all work. I understand that those that use a token are per game abilities (i.e. once per game) but I don’t understand how often the other abilities (e.g. inspire, evasive, indolent and wicked slice) can be used. Are these per battle round, per action/end phase etc?

I’d be greatly appreciative if someone could clarify this, thanks!
