S. Ian Hawkes - Warhammer Design Team
*****

Q. When charged by a chariot, do pike attacks go before impact hits?
A. No. The Warhammer Design Team has specifically stated that
impact hits always happen before everything else in a combat, unless
specifically noted otherwise. Therefore chariot impact hits qualify
as a being "entitled to strike first because of a special ability"
which per the rules for pikes "will still strike before pike-armed
models."
S. Gav Thorpe - Warhammer Design Team / Warhammer Chronicles 2004
page 57 / Rulebook page 128
*****
Q. When engaged in close combat with an enemy unit to their front, how
many ranks do pikeman fight in?
A. Provided the unit has enough ranks, four ranks if the unit was
stationary or three ranks if the unit charged that turn as is
outlined in the Fight In Ranks section of the Warhammer Rulebook. Note
that in cases where a pikemen unit consists of three ranks or less,
all the ranks will fight when engaged with an enemy unit to their
front, regardless of whether the unit was stationary or charged that
turn.
S. Rulebook page 89 / Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 57
*****
Q. In the description for the Paymaster it indicates that he is
treated exactly like a Battle Standard. Is he therefore a
allowed to carry a magic banner?
A. No. The reference in the Paymaster's rules directs players to
treat the keys to the pay chest like a Battle Standard. Note that
nowhere in the Rulebook does it state that a Battle Standard
Bearer is entitled to carry a magic banner. It is the existing
Sixth Edition army books which explicitly state that Battle Standard
Bearers may carry magic banners. The Paymaster is not explicitly
given the ability to carry a magic banner in the Dogs of War army
list, therefore, he may not.
S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 57 / Rulebook page 102
*****
Q. Is it legal for a living character, such as a Mercenary Captain,
to join an Undead unit (e.g. The Cursed Company)?
A. The intention of the rules is that no, Undead units cannot be
joined by non-Undead characters and vice versa.
S. Anthony Reynolds - Warhammer Design Team
*****
Q. What is the correct number of attacks for Long Drong's
Slayer Pirates?
A. Since the "Festooned With Pistols" special rule for the
unit states they "gain an additional attack because they are
fighting with a pistol in each hand", you should add 1 to the
Attacks value in the displayed statline. Thus, Long Drong has
3+1=4 Attacks and each Pirate has 1+1=2 Attacks.
S. Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 65 / Rulebook page 91
*****
Q. Do the Dwarf special rules apply to the Dogs of War Dwarfs

Relentless, and Resolute) apply to Dwarf Dogs of War.

S. US White Dwarf #258 page 41
*****

A. Asarnil is worth 130 VPs, his Dragon is worth 330 VPs.
