Kruleboyz 'Covered in Mud'

[Sleaky]

The Kruleboyz Battle Trait 'Covered in Mud' states that while a unit is in cover, it is not visible to enemy units.

Does this mean they are invisible to shooting and magic as line as sight is required, BUT they can still be charge as you don't need to see an enemy unit to make a charge, you only need to be within 12"?

The Battle Trait isn't clear (I assume it may get faq'd)? Any comments welcome!

 No,

some abilities, and or attacks need to see a unit to choose their target.

So if your unit isn’t visible ti them they can not be targeted.

Yet remember, that doesn’t quite yet mean that all shooting is countered with that ability.

Units like lumineth Sentinels, and the windlaunchers from the stormfiends units just straight up ignore that rule and can shoot a unit that is not visible to them.

Hi Skreech,

Thanks for the response. I understand and appreciate that there will be nuances and rules for some units that can overcome the invisible trait. I suppose the main question was can they be charged if they are invisible by units that do not have particular abilities?

Yes they can be charged, since there currently is no rule stating that a unit must be able to see the unit they want to charge
