Aebal Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hello! I'm new to AoS and I started with Death, the themathic I like the most Me and my group like to play matched play, and was a deception to know that summons must be counted as part of the army (reserve). Maybe the other way was too over. To summon 10 or 20 skeletons over and over again hehe BUT! A games workshop manager of the city i live said me that you cannot create a new unit, but you can instead regenerate units who has lost models. I knew that, for example, the ability of the skeleton standard bearer let you put d6 skeletons on your hero phase. That doesn't cost reserve points. But what the gw manager said is that I can launch the spell summon skeletons on a unit of skeletoms to regenerate slain models (just as standard bearer does). It sounds me as he is trying to convince me that summoning can be as I wanted to be, but I prefer to play as rules intend to be. We like matched play and thats the way we want to play, so please, answer me: Can I launch the spell "summon skeleton" to a unit of skeletons in order to refill the unit? Thanks!

Oppenheimer Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 No. You can't do that in matched play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelmaster Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 You have it right, the GW manager is talking rubbish. Wouldn't be the first time a GW staff member didn't know the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deynon Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 you can use the stendards to replenish the unots that possess the to the max number of those units. If you want to create new units you have to have the points to do it, so you have to have reserved points for summoning. And cast the adeguate spell to create the unot (the stendars are not such). The spell summon skeletons cannot regenerate units models, only create new units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotrek Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This makes me wonder if allowing summon spells to replenish units for free wouldn't help death out a lot or if it would be OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean I can't hope that in GHB2 they don't make changes to reinforcements to help a brother out or update our warscrolls to let us replenish units better. Like courtier spamming for FEC, give the rest of us something that can do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are better in hoping a new battletome about it, not a new GH2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelmaster Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The one way I could see the GH helping is by allowing summoning spells to bring back destroyed units for free (or at a discount). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
