Uh, the army book? Where it says Corpse Carts, Bat swarms, and Dire Wolves don't count towards core selections?

Each of the three unit entries has an almost identical note that follows the pattern:

Note: <unit name> do not count towards your minimum Core unit requirements.

Page 134 of the 8e Rulebook goes on to say that such units don't count towards any selection criteria, just the point limit of the army.

And where do you get that you can't take corpse carts as notCore units any more? They are still in the army list for you to take them; only the ones Necromancers ride count towards hero points.

If so doesn't the Army Book over rule the Basic Rule Book?
I'm not sure as I don't play Brets and don't have the book to hand.

"If the army is led by a Bretoninian Lord who is riding a Royal Pegasus, then the 0-1 restriction for pegasus knights is removed"

So it's 0-1 if no lord on pegasus but if the lord is on pegasus it still have to follow the rulebook that says only 50% special and 3 duplicate choices if <=2999p and 6 if >=3000p.

Since s/he who wants to break that rule got to have at least 12 or 21 pegasus knights and the lord, it's not so big odds any one will ever do it but still

Hi Silks,

Thanks. I went and had a look at the vampire count book and I am slightly wrong in my post above. The free spell does not have to be invocation of Nehek but can be the first chosen from the three necromancy spells. Not sure how you would program this. Info is on page 38 top right first paragraph and page 90 under necromancer\magic. Hope this helps.

I believe the faq has moved the corpse cart to the heroe slot now.

Mr Rose -
hey there fella, calm down. I confess already ;0) Did not look at the note on the others my apologies (no book present at time).

Re the Corpse cart, not sure how to interpret that one really - faq says Page 90 – Necromancer Options, Corpse Cart Add “Count the cost against your allowance for Heroes.”

You are right of course but what happens here exactly? Cost with Necromancer counts as hero cost; cost without necromancer counts as core but not towards minimum core I guess? Is this your interpretation?

Bug:

Vampire Counts - Armour of Silvered Steel on a necromancer is +2 armour save cannot be improved on but shows up on stats as 1+.

First: Very Big Thanks to those of you working on this file. The community really appreciates your help.

A bug for Wood Elfses:
Currently, Treemen Ancients and Branchwraiths are limited to only one sprite. P.60 states that they (unlike other wood elf characters) can take any number of spites up to their point allowance.

Thanks for everyone's hard work on this!

excatly. I know its wierd these silly corpse carts. also i'd like to thank the forum admin for activating my forum account.

Silks, been a crazy week, I will communicate with you later by email to coordinate addressing some of this.
Once we have a separate forum it will be MUCH easier to set up bug tracking and fixes.

Added the Vampire Counts FAQ changes.
Someone else is working on the monstrous mounts so they'll come along in a seperate release don't worry.

Sorry if anybody else's posted following bugs already:

- Lords and heroes have not separated points in the composition summary so it counts the total as an error;

- Lothern Seaguard, archers and spearmen from High Elves now cannot take the Warbanner;
