[TOW] Waaagh! + Obsidian Vambraces

Quick question here: I’m fixing to add in a mob of black orcs in my cwarf list, and I noticed the boss character’s Waaagh! ability (ld test, if passed gives self, joined unit and/or mount re-roll 1’s to hit and +1 combat res).

Now, if your boss has this thing active while rocking the Obsidian Vambraces, what happens then?

Roll a nat 1 - vambraces go poof - re-roll?

Or

Roll a nat 1 - re-roll - vambraces hopefully stay?

I’m leaning towards the latter, but would like to hear your input :pray:

Yeah I agree, it’s the second. The “natural” only means that it’s not triggered if, for some reason, you suffer a -1 to hit and roll a 2. But if you can re-roll 1s for this turn, then the vembraces only bust if the re-roll is a 1 as well. It’s the same with poison attacks and armour bane or whatnot.

All the more reason to kit him out with the vambraces then. Appreciate the input :pray:

I don’t think Black Orc characters can take Chaos Dwarf magic items, they are restricted to Orcs and Goblins items.

Hey hey! Welcome to the forum! You’re exactly right. This thread was posted before the latest FAQ, that’s why I was rolling with vambraces on my big boss :grin:

These days I’m taking him naked (ooh lala) with an add. hand weapon, just as a beefed up secondary champion.
