Allegiance Abilities have a separate Section in the Battle Tomes. so prayers can be used on any faction as long as it is not specified differently within the prayer‘s text. =} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Sorry @Walrustaco but @PJetski is right on this one. These are all allegiance abilities. So it includes spells prayers etc. Here is the FAQ to back it up. A prayer on the warscroll would be different. It could affect anyone if the wording permitted it. Regarding the rumour engine, the promise of new battletomes for each alliance after FEC went on preorder and the missing warcry image suggests a new death faction is on the way. This could well be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPjr Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 @Chikout unless I'm getting it all wrong, that's saying that allies do not get access to the main armies spells/prayers, not that the spells/prayers cant be used on allies. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yep, @JPjr is right. Your allied priest (e.g. Runesmith) cannot use that prayer, but you can still cast them on allied unit if the rules say "friendly unit" and not "KEYWORD unit". So only Fyreslayer priest can use them, but they can cast them on anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s both. The faq says ‘use or benefit from’. I initially looked it up because I thought @PJetski was wrong but the opposite is true. Edit- it seems people can’t agree on this.

Anything restricted by allegiance is an allegiance ability. A "Stormcast Eternals army" is an army that has the STORMCAST ETERNALS allegiance. Battle Traits are just one kind of allegiance ability. Artefacts, Prayers, Spell Lores, Command traits are other kinds of allegiance abilities. You must have the appropriate allegiance to use those abilities. 5 minutes ago, michu said: Yep, @JPjr is right.

You can technically target them but nothing will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riavan Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Maybe move this to its own thread. People are getting too ruffled over something that is quite unclear. Any new warcry rumours? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Taloren Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yes allegiance given prayers spells and artifacts cannot be used by allies. which I don’t recall there being any prayers or spells which don’t target a keyword or enemy unit/model so it’s kind of a moot point. Warscroll prayers and spells still work as long as the keyword or friendly unit is satisfied. But yeah to continue this should probably go to th rules question subforum.

AdamR Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Regrowth from the Sylvaneth spell lore heals D6 to Sylvaneth or D3 to non Sylvaneth. So that works on allies I guess?

robinlvalentine Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Are these Prayers/Magic Invocations/whatever supposed to be the direct intervention of the Fyreslayer god, or just the will of the priest made manifest? My understanding is their god is dead, which makes all this stuff just look like wizards and magic by another name. Feels like the Khorne situation again to me, where the idea of dwarves not being able to use magic has become pretty meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regrowth can be used on allies, but they will get no benefit. 1 minute ago, robinlvalentine said: 'Benefits from' seems like a super ambiguous phrase in this context.

michu Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) @robinlvalentine Grimnir is dead, but Fyreslayers can use his power by forging Ur-gold runes.

If anyone creates a thread about the benefit from allies section please ping it here. My understanding is that abilities like the 6 ward save on LoN cannot be given to allies but for example the gravesite mentions only friendly summonable units, while the 5+ ability that resurrects across all battlefield says “friendly LoN summonable units”. Wouldn’t make sense the different wording if it was not different behaviour... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
