    Afternoon!

    I'm still learning Age of Sigmar and between FAQs, new books, etc, sometimes I'm worried that I'm missing key pieces of information so I just wanted to ask about this combo and see if I'm missing any details.

    So as far as I'm aware you can use the same command ability as long as you have the command points. What I'm wondering is if the following works :

    Lord Kroak has the Impeccable Foresight ability so you are spending one command point in the hopes of getting more, hopefully it ends up yielding 2 rather than just getting back the 1 you spent to use the ability (or 0!). So going forward assuming you've now generated 2 command points: Bring 2 Saurus Oldbloods (on Carnosaurs in this case) and have one with Sword of Judgement as your hero/monster slayer. Both Oldbloods pop their Ancient Warlord ability. The Sunstone Spear has been changed to the Sword of Judgement, and with both abilities going the spear gets +4 attacks giving it 7 chances to roll 6s that turn in D6 mortal wounds. Finally it would seem as though the best way to use this weapon is to elect it as the last weapon you swing with, due to it ending the attack sequence once this happens. It seems strange that it has this ability as I don't see why anyone would swing with it before other attacks, knowing that it can end the attack sequence.

    Am I missing anything here? Just trying to see how well I get the process of events in AoS and see if I'm missing any core concepts here.

    Thanks again, and looking forward to getting more games in with Seraphon! I have an absolute ton of models from my 8th edition days that are waiting to get summoned in.

    The attack sequence is per atrack: roll to hit, roll to wound, roll save, apply damage.
    The sword of judgement stöps after a to hit roll of 6+. The rest of the attacks on the scroll will continue, unless the target is slain.

    Edit: writing stuff on the phone is never a good idea. Atrack is of course Attack. Stöps is obviously stops and nothing else, I blame autocorrect and a swedish "keyboard".
