Hi all,
I have a couple questions regarding the arcane wargear in the DE codex, and they might possibly be FAQ items. However, I would like to know how these issues have been settled in others' games.
Crucible of Malediction - Once per game, in the shooting phase, a model with the Crucible of Malediction may choose to open it instead of firing. Every pskyer within 3d6" of the bearer must pass a Ld test or be removed from play as they go stark raving mad. No saves of any kind are allowed. (DE Codex p. 60) If one were to use it on a seer council, for example, would the warlocks have to take tests as well? They are 'psykers' who don't have to take psychic tests. Also, I assume that each model has to check individually, and there is no roll for the entire unit. Is this right?
Shattershard - Any non-vehicle model hit by the Shattershard must take a Toughness test. If they fail this test, they are removed from play with no saves of any kind allowed. (DE Codex p. 61) My question here is, is it like JotWW, where one can 'assassinate' models by targeting them specifically, or can the casualties be dished out to anyone in the unit, like during shooting. RAW, I would think not.
How have these situations panned out in your real space raids my fellow Archons?
