8th Ed. da lodestone o.o

Ok so the obsidian lodestone give magic res 3 to a unit so has anyone given this to their slann or a hero in the temp guard? Since miscasts have been faqd to he magical hits why not give your expensive saurus a 4up save against it?

Doesn't work. MR only works against wounds caused by spells, not any other magical effects. The FAQ also explicitly says this.

MR is still a good idea for TG though. Especially if you run characters in there.

Would u recommend it in a saurus character block if ik im going against a death magic WoC army then?

 

[Anton_S]

Absolutely! Death magic is horrible against characters but loading up on MR allows you to ignore the sniping spells and save your dispel dice for Soulblight and/or Purple Sun. Remember, MR stacks with normal ward saves so if you have a 5+ Ward on a Saurus character you'll get 2+ if there is a Lodestone in the unit.

Except, that purple sun doesn't do wounds, so you don't get a ward save.
