That spell....

according to your thoughts it sounds very reasonable, but according to dex i can't recall anything mentioned excluding it :) maybe i am wrong or it might needs a clarification :P

The spell lists what it affects. Monsterous Creatures. Bikes, Cavalry, Beasts and Infantry. No mention of Jump Infantry affected so Jump Infantry are immune.

Hmmm. I think the whole reason for the initiative test is that it's how fast they can react to the ground opening up under them... Ah well, just hit the Tau with the hurricane attack that makes them moving in dangerous terrain. If he moves at all, DT test. watch him try to JsJ and fail the roll and die. Commence endless taunting.

 

 

Edit: typo plague demons...

Interesting that not all models with an initiative characteristic aare affected. While monstrous wraithlords and fexes, are affected, warwalkers and dreads are not even tho they have an initiative characteristic. Would have thought everything would have to test if it could.

Nice catch James. We really have to learn our new dex. I plan on using living lightning and tempests wrath for now.

I'd say the writers assume a walker is too big to be caught in the spell, but then Monsterous Creatures would be too.

Maybe they just decided it was too good if it could take out defilers and dreads.

 

I know a deamon prince with wings only moves as jump infantry so is still hit by this, but what about a hive tyrant with wings? Same thing or not?

Well if its jump infantry, its then not a monterous creature, so wouldnt get 2d6 and wouldn't be power weapons would it.....

That doesn't preclude them from also counting as Monstrous Creatures.

 

JotWW DOES NOT state that Jump Infantry are immune, it just does not include them on the list. It does however include Monstrous Creatues, so any model which means Hive Tyrants and Daemon Princes/Greater Daemons are still always affected.

 

The rules for JotWW are inclusive, not exclusive. Just because you have a status which is not on the list, it does not preclude you from being affected by the power when you also have a status which is on the list.

Good point, well said.

On a side note Tau don't have Jump infantry. They have Jet infantry, 2 different things worth remembering.

 

Ahh but still the same :s in terms of not being affected.....

 

Nope they are not, Jet infantry moves like normal infantry but can move in their assault phase again. Also Jet infantry cannot jump over stuff like jumppacks do.
