A question on hoards and the Cauldron of Blood

Post by Zeddyzed »

Hi everyone!

I was just after some clarification about the +1 attack buff the CoB gives. If im running a hoard of 40 Executioners, do the first 3 ranks get +1 attack? In the rulebook it says models with multiple attacks in supporting ranks are limited to only 1 attack.

Thanks guys :D

Due to the rule you note, only the first rank gets any benefit from the blessing. Second and third rank models only get 1 attack each even with the blessing.

The only time you see a unit get more attacks in if the unit or the model riding the mount has "Monstrous" in it's name.

Makes sense in a way. Do you want to think of a horde of witch elves coming at you with 90 poison attacks?
