zatoichi98 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 At GENCON, my opponent surrounded my dreamer with his models, then killed the dreamer. LCB then unburies, but as the Dreamer was completely surrounded, the other models had to be pushed so LCB could fit where the Dreamer was - at least this is what the GENCON judge ruled. Is this correct? What if there was some hazzardous terrain and the models being pushed ended up in it? Are there rules in the rulebook that govern something like this? (i.e. are they all pushed evenly, or can it be in one direction?) And what if the Dreamer was not killed, I simply just unburied LCB. Would the same thing happen? Seems like there is a lot of potential for abuse here. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Sounds like they got the rules wrong. When The Dreamer is Killed, you can place any number of Buried Nightmares within 6" of the model. (This can include Lord Chompybits) If the model can't fit, then it can't be placed. There is nothign I can see in the rules that would push other models out of the way to allow them to fit. But they would need a lot of models to prevent you finding any space you could legally place Chompybits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zatoichi98 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 You bring up a good point- there is a 6" range when the Dream dies, but what about when the Dreamer and LCB simply bury/unbury each other as part of (0) Nightmare Friend - one is supposed to be place in base contact with the other before being removed from play. In my GENCON situation, what if the Dreamer was not killed - say I simply wanted to bring out LCB but the Dreamer was COMPLETELY surrounded?

Adran Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you can't place the model, it can't be placed. Use frightening dream instead of Nightmare friend For the All done trigger there isn't an alternative. Kill stuff with chompy first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsallchant Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 you cant place the dreamer 'under' chompys base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 The only time the surrounding models are pushed back is when a model transforms (RM, p. 55), not when one is placed, replaced, switched or summoned. Those require that there is enough room to fit the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgar Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 So make sure to chase the Dreamer into tight corridors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 you cant place the dreamer 'under' chompys base? No. You place the dreamer in base contact before you remove Chompys model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsallchant Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 ok thanks for the clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zatoichi98 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 If LCB cannot be placed in base contact with the Dreamer before the Dreamer is removed from play (because he was killed) and if there are no Daydreams alive or on the board, LCB has no way to unbury. So killing all the Daydreams and surrounding the Dreamer is a viable tactic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's a tactic, I'm not certain how viable it is but if you've got the models and inclination to give it a go I say give it a whirl. Make sure you kill the Daydreams first though, as when you kill one they can unbury a nightmare within 6" of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsallchant Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 when the dreamer die he can place as many nightmares as he likes within 6" so it would be nearly impossible to stop chompy coming out. but killing all daydreams and dreamer would put you in a pretty good position regardless if you can not only catch but physically surround the dreamer then thats quite a feat!
