Inferno

There was a little confusion in Sonnias spell inferno earlier. When it says models within 3" pulse suffer 3 DG at the start of the closing phase is that implying that the pulse is done right then and no matter where the models are later in the turn they take the 3 DG? Or is it supposed to be that the models have to be within the 3" pulse at the end closing phase?

The models have to be within the 3".

[Asphyxxious]

So it is any models ending the turn within 3" of her then?

[TreeNinja]

yes because the spell reads the ability takes effect at the start of the closing phase unless this model is killed in which case the ability takes place before the model is removed from the board

[Asphyxxious]

Alright I thought so. Thanks guys

[TreeNinja]

yeah the spell is a really nice deterant against melee models

[Asphyxxious]

Yeah it is. I was just a bit thrown off because I had always read it as you said and I was trying my Colette crew for the first time. I had Cassandra close to Sonnia planning on switching her back into safety. He cast inferno and I didn't really think much of it because she wouldn't be there later anyway. At the end of the turn when I was like 12" or so away he said the pulse affected the models then but the damage happened later. Didn't make too much sense to me but I didn't really mind seeing as how I just wanted to see how the crew ran and figured I would just check it later. Every game is a learning experience.

Wait, so it's only models who were within three inches of Sonnia when the spell is actually cast, not models within 3 inches at the start of the closing phase? Our Sonnia player uses the spell as a sort of deterrent bomb, casting it to make anyone think twice about moving anyone into combat that turn.

Edit: Haha, I've reread this thread 3 times and I'm still confused, maybe it's too early in the morning. Let me put forward a few scenarios so I can clearly understand this. Which one of the following will see Cassandra hit by Inferno

A) Sonnia casts inferno, Cassandra is 6 inches away at the time of casting. Cassandra activates ends the turn within 3 inches of Sonnia.

Sonnia casts inferno, Cassandra is in melee with Sonnia at the time of casting. Cassandra activates, disengages and finishes her turn 6 inches away.

confusion

[Asphyxxious]

No you guys had it right. I was making sure that is how it worked because a Sonnia player in the area thought it was the other way. So no worries you're all good

[TreeNinja]

no it only takes effect at the start of the closing phase soit will only effect those models that are within 3" at that time which will motivate players with melee models to keep their distance

Option A Toonook

The pulse happens at the closing phase, so all within 3£ at the closing phase take the dmg:) No1 else:)

[Asphyxxious]

Yeah don't worry about it Toonook you have been playing it correctly

[Toonook]

Good to know haha. Cheers!
