abilities that affect turn order

[Mayple]

The core rules of one say that you can't modify the roll that determines turn order - but the command ability of Soulblight's coven throne, and fyreslayer's battalion (lords of the lodge?) both affect it.

So do we void these abilities, or what? Seems rather silly to do so.

In matched play, those rules are null and void. In narrative/open play, enjoy those abilities as written.

Rules and abilities are typically written for any/all of the gaming modes. These particular abilities were written prior to the initial GHB and their effect on tournament/competitive play got beyond GW's intentions, so the rules of 1 (for matched play) were updated accordingly.

The Coven throne's command ability has been changed, so that's no longer a problem. But yes. The fourth rule of one prevents any rerolls or modifications of the roll-off, so Hot-blooded Fury from the Lords of the Lodge batallion will be wasted in matched play.

Aight. Thanks My Fyreslayer friend will be a sad dwarf.

All Dwarf players secretly love being sad. Gives them something to grumble about.

What about the ability from Overlords of Chaos battalion from the Everchosen book? Its not really modifying the roll to go first, but it does affect turn order in a way...
