BILE THRALL PURGE

Purge is a ranged attack. By default, ranged attacks require a target, and Purge says nothing to the contrary. So Purge requires a target. Only 1 target too, just like any other ranged attack. Just because it hits and damages many models does not mean it targets them all.

---

Structures are valid targets for attacks. "Buildings" are not. So if before the start of the game you had agreed that the terrain piece was to be considered a Structure (IE destroyable), and not just a regular terrain piece, then it could be a legal Purge target.

Erratum: Prime p.125 : Purge: Replace text of Purge with the following: The Bile Thrall sprays out the entire contents of its guts, deflating and automatically hitting all models within 6” of the Bile Thrall’s front arc. Terrain that obstructs LOS blocks the Purge attack. A model in range of the Purge attack cannot be hit by the attack if the attacker’s LOS to it is completely blocked by terrain. Models hit take a POW 12 damage roll and suffer Corrosion, then remove the Bile Thrall from play. Purge is a ranged attack.

---
Q: Can an engaged Bile Thrall make a Purge special attack?

A: No. Purge is a ranged attack.

---
Q: Can a Bile Thrall Purge through a Trencher smoke screen?

A: Purge will penetrate a cloud effect, but the Bile Thrall can only perform a Purge if it has a target within LOS.

---
Q: What if a model with Stealth is within the area of a Purge?

A: It is automatically hit even if it is further than 5" away from the Bile Thrall. Special rules that cause attacks automatically to hit override special rules that cause them automatically to miss.

---
Q: Does Purge trigger Retribution?

A: Yes; however, the Bile Thrall is gone when the damage roll is returned by Retribution. Retribution then expires as normal.

THE DRAGONFATHER

Toruk, the Dragonfather, founded the Cryxian Empire from the inhabitants of the archipelago known as the Schardes thousands of years ago. Of the fourteen Pirate Kings that ruled the Schardes, twelve made a pact with him, swearing their loyalty in exchange for immortality and power, and were transformed into the first Lich Lords, while the remaining two were slain by the dragon for refusing to bow to his supremacy. They would later serve as the generals of his army and as one fell, another would replace him to pick up the pieces. Although the Dragonfather rarely takes an interest in the affairs of his followers, the entire Cryxian Empire exists for only one purpose: to consolidate his power and serve as a bulwark and weapon against the forces of his children, who tried to claim his powers once before and will certainly try again.
Through the machinations of the Lich Lords, Cryx became an empire of death and it is not uncommon to see a thrall delivering corpses to its master for use in his numerous experiments. The people of Cryx accept this and understand the relationship between predator and prey very well, for they are largely outcasts and rogues exiled from societies on the mainland. Many become pirates and return to plague the other nations, forming a fleet of living troops to hide the true nature of the undead Cryxian armies. Surprise and secrecy have become the main assets of Cryx as the Lich Lords do not wish to begin killing the Dragonfather's offspring until they are truly ready.

Tartarus And Curse

Just in case you were wondering, Curse lasts for one round. If you look in REMIX you will see this wonderful bit of information, however it is not included on the card.

WHY WE LOVE (OR HATE) THE COMBINE

Example follows ...

A unit of idrian skirmisher make their intercept move. After that, the overlords made -2 for command checks cumulative so the unit has -6 on command checks.

Denegra then casts Dark Seduction on the idrians.

Next round: The wither shadow combine upkeeps one spel, dark seduction, so the complete Idrian Skirmishers (all 12) play for Cryx.

Helldiver Surfacing

After burrowing through the earth at frightening speeds, the Helldiver bonejack erupts from underfoot to shred every living thing within reach of its powerful jaws. The patient and methodical killer can wait in underground ambush for nearly indefinite periods, and Cryx has seeded many potential battlefields with scores of these black-iron monstrosities.

A Helldiver may NOT resurface through terrain materials restricted from burrowing. If it cannot burrow into it, then it cannot burrow out either.

However, the Helldiver may do a magic trick where it may burrow into an elevated position and surface on a nearby elevated position. Remember that you measure all distances in 3d, so you can't go 8" over and 5" up, or 2" over and 10" up... you can be placed 8" from the marker. If you're right next to a 7" cliff, you can surface on top of it.

Weekly Wierd Speculation

Captian Rengrave will reappear in the future with a Cryxian Freebooter, currupted to his will after Shay sent him to Davey's Jones locker.
