Thank you!

Yeah, not a wise ruling on the Frenzy/Barrage combo. Essentially, no one will ever have a reason to use Barrage, unless they really don't know how green dice roll yet. 3 actions for two green dice, ignoring LoS or not, is a complete waste. Essentially they just trumped their own unit. I'd be surprised to see Gomorrian in competitive play now.

This figure has other arguments to prevail. It's only a silver unit, not a powerful gold one. It stays a very good shooter for an Algeroth army (Frenzy with its normal attack action are awesome too).

 Whew! I had better CC this to my friend because he just chewed me up in a game with that ability. I lost a whole Vulkan to one shot!!! and my gold captain in cover went to the great beyond on the next round of shooting

Thanks for posting.

We had this come up in a game today, and I didn't really see anything in the Faq pertaining to it.  Karak used his ability to summon an Ice Golem, but the one he summoned was in combat with an Ezogohul Ravager which has grapple. Does the summon override the grapple ability?

I'll ask the question to Nate French but here some first elements :

Grapple keyword specifies the ennemy adjacent figure cannot move (ie a move action), so I think several game effects will override the Grapple special ability (like Apocalypse, Tactical retreat, Teleportation, Transport, Summon Golem or Grave Walk) because they are not move action.

Yeah, previously it was ruled that the summoning did not count as a move action, but at this point all bets are off with regards to rulings. It really could be anything.

Thanks. we kinda thought that might be the case, but thought we'd ask to be sure.

Thanks for your efforts and delivery on this C.B

Uhm... but in this way, there are two distinctive attacks, "Attack Action", and "Other Attack" like Barrage.

So, if I make an Attack using Wait Order, is still Attack or no?

As precised pg. 23 in the rulebook : "For special abilities and other game purposes, a guard attack counts as taking an attack action, but not as assigning an order." So yes, you can use a damage enhancement with a guard attack.

The corrected version has been put online today. The entries about the Praetorian Behemoth, Golem Ice unit number, Reanimated Ezoghoul, Sniper Ranger, Scion of Ilian, Nepharite of Ilian, Templar of the Wheel and Mercurian Spawn have been added.
