War of the Ring Escalation League FAQ’s FAQ Any rules questions or issues that the League Organizers think need to be addressed by a League FAQ will be binding on all games. Any official GW FAQ's or Errata subsequently released will be immediately in effect. fect. If any of these GW FAQ's/Errata are on point for a League FAQ, they will supersede the appropriate League FAQ. Errata Replace all instances of “Pathfinder Pathfinder (All) (All)” with “Pathfinder (Master).”

FAQ's Q1. Can an Epic Hero join a Mûmak? A1. No. Epic Heroes cannot join monsters. However, there is an argument to be made that the Mûmak is a special type of monster (all other monsters are defined as “Single model(s)” while the Mûmak and its 13 crew are defined as a “Single Company”). The Mûmak “Company” is technically the command company, pany, and could be joined by an Epic Hero. It seems unlikely that the rules designers intended such a subtlety to create a distinction between the Mûmak and other monsters, and would have preferred an explicit special rule, stating that Epic Heroes can join the Mûmak. Barring an overriding ruling from GW, Epic Heroes will not be allowed to join a Mûmak Mûmak.

A3. Yes. Unless a model or formation is either on or counts as Elevated Terrain, Terrain it can have LOS to it blocked by any model or formation. This is an abstraction that does not utilize “True LOS” or height levels from other systems. Q4. If I need a 6+/4+ to hit, but I have twohanded weapon (+1 to hit, -1 1 Fight), then does this mean I need (1)) a 5+/3+ to hit, or (2) a 6+ to hit? A4. (2) is correct: 6+. Q5. Legendary formationss are listed as “X points + Y per company.” Does this mean (1) that I pay X points for the command company and Y points for each additional company OR (2) that I pay X+Y points for fo the command company and Y points for each additional company? A5. (2) is correct. If you look at the price of legendary formations in battle reports at the beginning of the Rulebook, they are priced as X+Y for the command company, and Y for each additional company.

Q2. Are the casualties caused through Heroic Duels considered when working out who has won a fight? A2. Yes. Q3. Can a Balrog “hide” behind a unit of Goblins for LOS purposes?

Trample!” rules, during the movement phase it stop stops when it comes into contact with any defensible or impassable terrain and suffers D6 h hits. Consequently, a Mûmak can never occupy a defensible terrain feature. But can an a M Mûmak charge a formation in a defensible terrain? If so, does it suffer D6 hits? A6. Yes, a Mûmak may charge a formation in a defensible terrain feature, though hough it is not eligible to occupy it, should it win the fight. And, no, it will not suffer D66 hits for coming into contact with the defensible terrain during the Fight Phase. Q7. Through a combination of modifiers, I need eed +1 to hit in combat. Does this mean I “auto hit” OR all rolls of “1” still fail failures? A7. Rolls of “1” are failures in combat combat. Though the Rulebook doesn’tt cover this, there is an indication from White Dwarf battle attle reports by Matt Ward that 1’ss were intended to be failures.

Q8. If I’m facing an enemy formation that does not cause Terror on its own, own but has been joined by an Epic Hero who does cause Terror,, must I take a Terror test to charge or if I’m charged? A8. Yes. P. 69 is clear that an Epic Hero’s Hero special rules do not transfer to the company or formation he joins, unlesss the rules explicitly state otherwise. However, this does not mean that an Epic Hero loses his special ecial rules upon joining a company. Per the Terror rules (p. 63) if a formation wishes to charge a Terror-causing Terror creature it must ust take a Terror test. Since the Terror-causing causing creature is in the formation being charged/charging,, your unit must test. A battle report with Matt Ward used this interpretation with Hardrim joined by Khamû ûl. It should be noted, thatt this is open for abuse, and an army should not be designed with the intent of maximizing this benefit.
