Darrell, alone once again tackles some Warhammer Fantasy. In this one he talks about model Characteristics and just what they do during a game. Mainly talking about what tests require what part of the Stat Line and how they effect that model or unit during the game.

They do feature in 40k too but most players to whom i say, Toughness/ Initiative/ Strength test on that guy go “lolwut?”
sounds right to me darrell!
Here I go again guys, just love that game board Darrel, especially the close ups!
Sorry mate, Darrell!
What i have to know is, what do you do if your forced to test on a stat you don’t have (not as in 0, but literally there isn’t a number for)
here is an example, my opponent casts a spell that makes me take an Initiative or die, and its cast on my skaven screaming bell. what happens?
well its classed as an auto fail as long as there is a numerical value written (a “-” does not count so I think the unit cannot be affected on that characteristic).
Actually – counts as 0, so you auto-fail. Screaming Bells are EXTREMELY vulnerable to things like Leadership tests and so on.
soo what? how can a peace of wood be afraid…
and what soo I Test and u just die? that’s weak for something that costly, dont ever think ill buy one with that in mind
haha didnt mean to type soo what?, realy should be able to edit comments
Sounds all good pal, nice work. Now get yourself a well deserved pint.
if you don’t have the stat. you fail the test automatically- which is why pit of shades is an insta-kill for steamtanks 🙂
~P~
Q. Can the spell Pit of Shades from the Lore of Shadows affect the
Steam Tank? (p51)
A. No.
Im sorry but it doesnt insta-kill the steam tank… this was taken from the Empire FAQ
poo! that would have made a big difference on Monday 🙂
ah well- it” be so different next game!
thanks
~P~
If the others are off at the pub then you should consider getting a female war gaming assistant for your videos.
You need a sexy female co-host, Darrell.
Yeah that’s something we though about too so I experimented doing it in drag but it just didn’t feel right! lol
My favourite thing about characteristic tests is that a 6 is always a fail. Taking out Mephiston with jaws of the world wolf = priceless
We so have got to see it! Especially after seeing Darrell in the pirate garb with the massive beard!
Yup that right
there is an invisible man, and he has his pants off. odd
For the more serious comments… No I don’t think you need an assistant. But I do think this has been the worst of your videos thus far, don’t worry thats a complement that means the others have been good. See despite me being fluff light hearted bloke it’s always good to have things right. In your other videos you exuded confidance, any of the other rulings I would be confidant to take to a table from watching the video regardless of personal views because you looked like someone who you how things worked, the praticed proficiency of expert talking. Here… Read more »
I think you are doing well on your own, your videos have been good thus far. however the thing I would like to see is something along the lines of page references, this would allow those of us who may have missed the rule or just want to read up on it again to be able to find it. Even if the page references were just in the description it would be of great help.

I’m scared of eddieharr’s comment! It good to see you guys going over the basics as it makes it much easier for new guys to come into the hobby. All they need to do is watch a couple of videos before reading the rules and at least they will have a better understanding of what is going on. Great work and keep them coming. As far as an assistant is concerned, you did the job well on your own and I don’t think you need to muddle up the basics by having too many people talking (too many cooks and… Read more »
Nah
you’re cool on your own Darrell so baggsie me for the sexy assistant.
Agree with Silar about helping newbs. Glad I found these vids.
thanks.
What was the email for ASK BOW? I can’t find it anywhere.
I have a question about the Holocaust pyskic power from the DaemonHunter codex. The rules state that you must place the 5” template in contact with the users base, and all models under it (Friend and Foe) are hit. I’m wondering how this could be useful in anyway other than baking my Grey Knights.
Uh, I have the same question. Where do you go to ask a question? 😛
i want to ask you guys a question but how do you go about asking bow with no email to ask it too?!? haha
Want to know if lesser daemons get there special weapon , so plague bearers will on a wound of 4+ inflict wound on all opponents in assault? also they will be daemon, so eternal warrior , fearless, and slow and purposeful ?
Q: In a game of Warhammer or Warhammer 40k, is it possible to skip phases? For exemple, not doing the movement phase and starting directly on the assault or shooting phase? Or also can we change the order of the phases, let’s say we shoot first and then we do the movement phase?
Ps: (Sorry I don’tknow where to post the questions for ask BoW.)
Q: can a Wargor with Many-limbed fiend have both shild and Additional hand weapon
Q: could you take a terminator any type ( chaplain in terminator armour) as a group sergent for tactical marines
I agree with Wildchevy, you need a female wargamer to assist you. I know of a few with initiative 8.
