8th Ed. MR and warmachines with runes

[hellbreaker]

also, doesn't the anvil have a ward against shooting?

4+ ward vs shooting for the crew (anvil can't be targeted, I think) and according to the FAQ a 6+ ward in combat. Oddly enough also T10, so the anvil can be targetted?

Nowhere does it say 'runic spells' in neither the book nor the FAQ. The way I understood it it either buffs (not a spell!) or get to use magic shooting.
There's nothing magical about the anvil other than the fact a drunken dwarf smith can beat it and stuff happens.

Cheers!

the dwarf book says the runelord is "casting runic spells" using power dice provided by the anvil. based on that, those are spells.

Where are you seeing that?

in the Runesmiths/anvil section - not sure if it is the latest book, though

the anvil works like a war machine now, much like the casket of souls, it has 5 wounds and T10, when the last wound is removed it is destroyed, so skinks will bea problem with 5 wounds and a 4+ ward

The best thing to take them out is probably a characteristic test, like an initiative test. Downside is that you need to get a spell like that off first. Dwarves tend to dispell most of my stuff lol. Gogo cupped IF and hope you kill the anvil (and some other dwarves/warmachines with it).
