8th Ed. terradon clarification

[camo-skink]

i have a few questions about terradon riders:

- do the terradons get a stomp attack
- do the terradons get a regular attack
- do the riders get a 6+ armor save
- do skink chiefs get a 6+ save (diference between character and non character)
- do terradon riders negate ranks

thanks in advance for clearing these things up. i am doing research on them for my next tactica, part of which is three games i have tomarrow. i just want to be clear on the finer details.

cheers,

- do the terradons get a stomp attack
Yes, they are monstrous cavalry.
- do the terradons get a regular attack
Yes, they get the attack listed in the profile.
- do the riders get a 6+ armor save
Yes, they get that save due to being on the Terradons.
- do skink chiefs get a 6+ save (diference between character and non character)
If he has not other save, then yes, he gets the 6+ (I believe that is the way it works).
- do terradon riders negate ranks
No, Terradon riders do not negate ranks (Thats the way I have been playing it)

so, essentially, they are flying fast and monstrous cavalry, that move as skirmishers.

i thought they did negate ranks since only move as skirmishers. obviously not all flyers can move through woods. and since they are technically cavalry shouldn't they negate ranks?

i dont know, i need to look at it again. thanks though.

I believe that because they act as skirmishers, they do not negate ranks.

Arli's right, skirmisher cannot negate ranks because they are skirmishers.
