Arq could help here, as he is both English native and fencer. If you want an English skill name, I would suggest, for lack of better ideas, "counterstrike".
It's just called a simultaneous attack here. Happens all the time. Spiteful/Disdainful blow might be somewhat more characterrful for us.
1) Stesso Tempo. Yes, it is Italian. So is Tyrions "Riposta". "Sensei" in Clan Eshin armylist is from Japanese. And Malus Darkblade is an awful Latin-English hybrid. I really don't think that choosing Italian term for a skill name is so bad idea.
2) Counterstrike. Sorry to offend you, ANSOB, but it is best from "counter"-options.
3) From Arq's suggestions, Spiteful blow is better for a skill name, because it has less syllables ;-)
Stesso Temppo- I still think you could find a more Dark-ish name. Also, if the opponent strikes after you get an attack after his? What if you die? [Apologies if that is warhammer rules I forget suddenly]

You still get the attack, since it's supposed to be made as soon as the opponent misses his (by the way, as far as rules are concerned batching dice isn't factored in, so no mentioning that; besides, the things with more than one attack in Mordheim are rather rare outside of characters and such) - I'll be amending the text as soon as I'm out of my first week of class in order for it to read the way I'd like it to.
Stesso Tempo is out of question as far as I'm concerned. The fact that GW couldn't be damned to find a suiting name and had to rip off real-world words from different languages doesn't make it acceptable for us to do the same. Counterstrike, then.

Unfortunately, that's practically right. Very rare to see a dark corner with a window, unless it's in a non patrolled area and one of the entrance points to the level.

True. I presume we are all clear what a feint usually means, Canyu? Well, an attack that isn't really an attack basically but a diversion. Not what this move is...

Of all the suggestions so far, I like Disdainful Strike the best...it carries an air of Druchii arrogance, a 'disdain' for such a lame attack that is capitalized on to attack the opposing model.
"Victory needs no explanation; defeat allows none. Death is the servant of the righteous."
Yes, but it isn't disdainful, or a regular strike for that matter - that particular association carries images of the Druchii noble standing over a kneeling slave and backhanding him for having dared to speak in his presence.

Yes, or to sneer and do a careless blow, not a quick strike back, although I see where you are coming from. Retaliation is OK but lacks a second word perhaprs... CounterAttack is the most pbvious but is more likely to be whenever you get attacked by its sound. Oh, when will it end? ±

This counter-something is in but so far nameless, none are out, then poison needs a revamp and we might need a Ld thing for the Noble [see A3]
Any other suggestions of names? Then either we make a poll, ask some more people, or just decide on a whim ±
