Bass Creed Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Doe anyone understand what it does? The italicized text makes it confusing to me. Who can it target? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorUndead Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 You can only target friendly models with it. It will do damage to that model and ennemy models in a pulse of 2" around it. So you would basically be doing 1 damage to a friend to do 1 damage to ennemies. But let's not forget that in the Cadmus crew has the parasite mechanic + the "parasitic grasp" ability on the "will of cadmus" upgrade. This makes it so Cadmus models can treat ennemy models with a parasite token as if they were friendly cadmus. So in a cadmus crew the spelleater will be able to target either friendly models OR ennemy models with a parasite token. Note that this also applies to the action trigger "expand the hive" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlos896 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 So it can only target friendly models, and the action just causes automatic damage. The two triggers the action has require a specifc keyword friendly model, Fire Within is for witch hunter only, so in an explorer crew just another spelleater. If you take these with Sonnia then it can target any model with witch hunter keyword. Witch Hunter has access to a lot of arcane shield or disposable witchlings. Expand the hive trigger is for a friendly cadmus model only. With the way cadmus works an enemy model with a parasite token can be considered a friendly model. So you can use this to punish clumped up enemies. Cadmus has we are legion to help shuffle the damage around as well. Overall it's purpose is just unresisted damage. Great for taking out a hard to kill model that you just couldn't finish that activation, also gets around incorporeal because it's not an attack action.

touchdown Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 One thing to note is that the spelleater can target itself since it doesn't say other friendly only, and it's both Witch Hunter and Cadmus so you can pick the trigger you want most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legislat Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 He eats suits only in opposed duels. Tactical actions are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
