Few questions

[fuko]

1. Wolf Legion Standard and Gauntlet have according to FAQ MV=3, what about other Legion (Warriors and Leader)?(I think that there is something wrong with their costs as well...)
2. I have a problem with Dark Tusk totem - it has tusk attack, than in other line it is written that he may make sweep attack - does it mean that he may make both of them or only one (chosen by player) in one action?

.....2. I have a problem with Dark Tusk totem - it has tusk attack, than in other line it is written that he may make sweep attack - does it mean that he may make both of them or only one (chosen by player) in one action?.....

I would go for the second alternative. The tusk attack is to be used to enter combat by charging the enemy, or when already in close combat. but when you are already engaged in close combat you may choose to attack your opponent or to make the sweep attack or grab and hurl attack.

just my two cents...

....1. Wolf Legion Standard and Gauntlet have according to FAQ MV=3, what about other Legion (Warriors and Leader)?(I think that there is something wrong with their costs as well...)....

here is the exact paragraph from the FAQs

Dwarven Stats:
Wolf Legion Gauntlet Warriors and Standard Bearer (page 207)- AR=20, MV=3
Wolf Axe Warriors & Leader (page 208)- MV=3
Wolf Clan Scouts & Leader (page 208)- MV=3
Horned Ones Warshields, Musicians, Standard Bearers & Leader (pages 211-212)- MV=3

When reading the introduction to the wolf clan on page 189 (The Military) they are described to be the fastest of all dwarves...so I would assume that all wolf clan legions should move with speed 3.

just my two cents...

I'm well on my way to 3000 points of Wolf Clan Dwarves, and I'm happy they corrected the movement for these guys, and the armor and point costs.  It could be worded better, I agree, but it is inferred that the whole army moves 3", except the Desert Wolf Warriors at 4"!  Makes for a very interesting army to play.

Regarding the Dark Tusk Ram Attack: I'm pretty sure it is only on a charge that they get this attack.  If the model is already in CC, it does not get this, but sweep then can come into bear.  Sweep is cool, but can ONLY be used once you are in CC, not on a charge.

I'm not talking about Durk Tusk special attack, but about Dark Tusk Blood Totem and his tusk and sweep attack - both those attacks cost 1 action, they are natural attacks so could be made simultaneusly but they are written in separate paragraphs, without any "and" between them so I'm a bit confused...

[joshuaslater]

My mistake fuko.     If nobody chimes in to clear this up before me, I'll read over the Dark Tusk Totem tonight, and have a look.  Cheers.

Correct. Since both are classified as Natural Weapons, they can both be used.

And, consequently, so can the Grab, since it is also a Natural Weapon....

mwahahahahaaaa......

Southpaw, you are one of the good ones.

can we get an answer from E.Prime for the Totem question?

IN the rule book on page 94 under natural weapons this is written
" Anytime a model has more than one Natural weapon to attack with, it may attack with ALL its Natural Weapons for each Action spent, unless otherwise stated in the models profile"

[FrostWolf]

Like Anubis said, you make both Attacks at the same time. Because the nature of the attacks are different "weapons", One is the Tusk attack, and the other a slap with the massive arms, I see no reason why the Totem can not use both at the same time.

When you have a look at the other totem profiles there is always an 'and' between there different Natural Weapons. In the case of the dark tusk there is no connection to the different weapon attacks...

[Ruther]

well for me the tusk totem just has different options when in combat:

1st If it want to dish out massive damage to one Modell (usualy when in melee with an individual).

2nd  Instead of that it can choose to do Sweep (usefull if its swarmed by enemy units)
Sweepattacks are practically multiple attacks per one action (on such a  big beast plain ugly).

3rd in special situations it may decide to grap and hurl, wich gives it another flexible attack "choice".

The three different attacks are "techniques" done with a natural weapon. and not natural weapons by itsefl.

just my two cents ^^

Yeah, that's the same way I read the rules, you can choose what kind of attack you want to make!

Furthermore you can't use all three options at the same time cause the Grab and Hurl takes two actions...

just my two cents....
