Warhammer 9th Edition 2.31 out now!

This is just a smaller patch, mainly adding a few clarifications, fixing some minor bugs, tightening up some of the text and adding in some more special rules stacking that was otherwise specified in each army book already. The main rulebook should now be mostly bug-free and not be in need of any major revisions for the remainder of the year at least.

 

Patch notes:

• If a model has the Hatred special rule from two or more different sources (such as two different special rules, or a special rule and a spell), it may re-roll failed To Hit rolls in every turn against that foe, not just the first. However, they must always pursue, with no chance to restrain.
• Spears/Pikes: In turns in which the model is charged to its front, it receives an additional +1 to its Initiative.
• Polearms give +1 Initiative.
• Conflagration of Doom is 12+ to cast.
• If a model has the Frenzy special rule from two or more different sources (such as two different special rules, or a special rule and a spell), it gains +1 Attack. However, they must always pursue, with no chance to restrain.
• If a model has the Poisoned Attacks special rule from two or more different sources (such as two different special rules, or a special rule and a spell), it automatically Wounds on a To Hit roll of 6 in addition to its original effect.
• If a character is allowed to join a Mixed Unit, they may choose if they want to be placed in the front or rear rank.
• The Enfeebling Foe and The Withering are remains in play spells.
• Flying units containing two or more models follow the following rules for Skirmishers: Skirmish Formation, Skirmishers & Charging, Free Reform, Fire on the March, Light Troops.
• All spells that use the small template scatter D3" instead of D6".
• If any model has a Weapon Skill of 0 then it is unable to attack with its normal attacks or defend itself in close combat, and any blows struck against it will therefore automatically hit. A model with Ballistic Skill 0 cannot use any missile weapons that require To Hit.
• "Look Out, Sir!" cannot be used if there are less than five rank-and-file models (including command group) left in the unit. This only applies to characters with the same troop type and/or Unit Strength as the unit.
• Meteoric Ironclad gives a 4+ ward, 15+ to cast.
• If a model has the Killing Blow special rule from two or more different sources (such as a combination of different special rules, spells or magic items), its effect will take place on the To Wound roll of a 5+ rather than a 6.
• Unless otherwise stated, a character cannot join a unit of Monstrous Creatures. Similarly, a character that is itself a Monstrous Creature cannot join other units.
• Any effect that would modify the model's Characteristics affect both the rider and mount, unless specified.
• Removed base sizes from the Troop Types chapter since this is already listed in each army book.
