[Archive] Kdaai Destroyer and Lammasu

Tsagadai:

Hi all,

Just a rules clarification, I think I’m right but I want to make sure. If a Lammasu is using law of shadows the law attribute kicks in after a successful cast. The law attribute says any model of the same troop type within 18" may swap places. The Lammasu is a monster as is the Kdaai Destroyer (and the hellcannon and siege giant) so after a successful cast I should be able to transport the Kdaai across the field. Technically, the rider of a monster counts as a monster too (just like they count as monstrous cavalry if they are mounted on a monstrous beast) so this could work in other armies too. I am thinking about my Dark Elves and Warriors of Chaos which could certainly both use and abuse teleporting monsters. :mad

If this actually works I know what I will be taking to my next tournament. A Kdaai in front of you is bad but a Kdaai on your flank or behind your general is much, much worse.

Thoughts?

furrie:

the only problem I see with this, is that the kdaai is not a character

Tsagadai:

Hmm, good point. Rereading it and it does say “character”. However the Lammasu is not a character either so maybe it can’t work (except with a Deamon Prince or simmilar).

Skink:

Uh… I’m with Tsagadai here. If my memory serves me well the rule says “the caster may swap place with any character of the same type within 18.”

The K’daai is not a character…

Kamphre:

A monster can be a character, like the Demon Prince.

If you play two mounted lords, you can swap them, because they’re both characters from the same unit type. But you cannot switch a Lammasu with a K’Daai.

Things could be different if you play with an ally or with Storm of Chaos, you can find other characters and monsters in this cases.

Grimbold Blackhammer:

So could the Sorcerer-Prophet swap places with an Infernal Castellan and stick him on the Lammasu?!

I would say no because the Sorcerer Prophet is not the one casting the spell. Plus I don't think there is a way to dismount without the mount being killed.

Montanarugby:

Don’t see this one as working. Pretty much whenever somebody has to revert to using the word “TECHNICALLY” in their arguement I put them on my don’t like playing with guys like this list.

Darnit see now you got my past my one post a year average.
