Dmuerto Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 In the new generals handbook the Icefall Yhetees have a line in their "NOTES" section which reads: "Battleline in Beastclaw raiders army if general is mounted on a thundertusk". Does it mean that that general can also be a Huskard on a Thundertusk and not necessarily a Frostlord on a Thundertusk? Ty in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlasticCraic Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Or even (technically) Thundertusk Beastriders. But I can't think of any advantage to exploiting that (not through lack of trying). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Not really - 1.0 rules also stated that any model can be your general, but GHB2017 added that it must have HERO keyword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherOl'Frosty Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Agreed with written above - RAW spelling usually used by GW - HERO needed ? Don't like idea of making of a moonclan grot to be a general ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasticCraic Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Based on the core rules you definitely can. It's just "select a model". Based on the matched play rules in GH18 you definitely can't. I've just seen a photo that I will not post here, that specifies that in matched play you do not choose a new general when yours is slain, and your general must be a leader. Wasn't a good idea anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlasticCraic Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 @Kramer not quite! It's a Leader (battlefield role), not necessarily a Hero (keyword). There's a huge overlap, but a Troggoth Hag for example can't be your General because she's not a Leader despite being a Hero (check out the updated FW pdf). Whether that's deliberate is questionable, given the rolling and ongoing issues this launch has been having. But there ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I stand corrected: '..., and which model is the army's general. In a Pitched Battle, your general must be a Leader, and may not be an ally.' page 51 Generals handbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst trade in the world. Edit: Also in the faq you can put the shaman in your army even if you usually can't ally with moonclan. Uses part of your ally points but not the 1 in 4 rule.
