8th Ed. Mag. Res. versus dwellows from below

Hey, hope thats the right name for the lore of life spell. Its the last and most complex one.

Did magic resistence count against that spell? In my opinion not because there are no saves at all allowed and it does not deal damage in the usual way, they just leave the game.

thanks for help
cheers

 

You are correct, magic resistance offers no protection against the dwellers below. If you fail your strength test you are simply removed regardless of saves or remaining wounds.

 

Thanks, thats cool.

cheers

 

No problem!

Definitely make sure you keep your Slann's unit out of this spell's range. You do not want your expensive Slann having to rely on a strength test to keep him alive. That should be priority #1 when facing dwellers.

 

Thanks but normaly I´m the one using dwellers
Last game I killed 4 ogres the ogre mage and the army general with that one, revenge for being hit by that nasty ogre
item were all enemy mages has to test for irresistable force and my slann killed 9 of his temple guards

By the way if I cast throne of thornes with irresistable force did I instandly get the 2+ save?

thanks

 

Yes you do! It's one of the FAQ questions that GW covered.

 

When you cast a spell with irresistible force, first comes (or is applied) the spell´s effect and once it is fully resolved, then the miscast must be rolled.

 

Thanks that is really helpful.

cheers
