AoS Thunderquake Starhost

[Nicolai Bech]

Hey there

i just started playing the Seraphons, and i find the wording in the Thunderquake Starhost battalion a bit confusing.... it mm just be me, because i can't find any another post about it....

In the Battalion it says the following : The Creator's Will : The Engine of the Gods or Troglodon, and any units from the Thunderquake Starhost within 8". are guided by the will of their creator. At the start of each Combat phase you can declare that of those units will either be swift, in which case you can re-roll charge rolls and failed hit rolls for them, or savage, in which case you can re-roll failed wound rolls and save rolls for them.

The Confusing part is when it says that i can chose between Swift or Savage at the start of each combat phase ? ? Should'ent that be in each "Hero phase" ? ?
I can't re-roll charge roll's in the Combat phase... so that does not add up to me, or is it because in then last until the next combat phase ? ? so it means that you miss the ability in the first battleround, if you go first...
Also if it was in the hero phase, you could re-roll dice rolls in the shooting phase which kind a seems like that would be the idea behind having the Bastiladon and the Salamanders or Razordons in the battalion.

Probably an easy fix I missed.... Thx for any answers...

Haha, this should be FAQ'd on this forum somewhere. You're correct, it's in the combat phase, that means you can declare it during your enemy's turn. So yeah, it's a little redundant if you get the first turn, but generally if I can help it, I give that to my opponent if I'm rolling the thunderquake. It lasts till you declare differently (I think, or just check with my opponents that that's ok), so your shooting is also affected, which can be great.

Yeah we have asked (and answered) exactly that question numerous times here, it confuses everyone at first.

You got that right, the only logical explanation is that it lasts the whole turn. Which makes it pretty great actually.
