Ensis Ferrae Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This question has come up in theory by my gaming group, since my buddy plays a Calgar clone, and whenever he takes marines, i take my tyranids... If he is wanting to assault my Hive Tyrant, with the Indescribable Horror upgrade does the God of War rule come into play? I know that any unit in his army while He is alive can pass morale checks, but the Indescribable Horror forces units to take Leadership checks, so is this semantics, or a genuine difference to force Calgar's force to "rethink" an asault?

wheelballer Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I could be wrong on this but I am pretty sure God of War wouldn't affect the Hive Tyrants Horror rule. God of War allows automatic pass/fail of all morale check. While (if you're correct), Indescribable Horror causes a Leadership check. Now a morale check is a type of leadership check, but a leadership test is different from a morale test. So I would say that the marines will still have to roll the leadership test when assaulting your Tyrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I agree. Leadership is not interchangeable with morale, so he'd have to pass the test using his LD10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 A Morale Check is a type of Leadership Test, but a Leadership Test is not a Morale Check. God of War does not apply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 The "Indescribable Horror" upgrade on a Tyrant is in fact a Leadership test. Not to be confused with "The Horror" psychic power, wich is a Morale test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 God of war has no impact on indescribable horror, on the other hand, indescribable horror is a massive wast of points, not as bad as pyrovores, but still pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
