  1. Hi Mathias, we have a doubt about the plague censer. If a priest is carrying one in a plague monk unit, does he and the models in base contact have to test even if they are not in base contact with enemies? Or only when the unit actually engage with an enemy?
    Thank you so much for the huge work you did.
    Cheers, Lorenzo &Co.
