Clarification on Hoarcats Devour and Eat your fill

[KamikaZ]

As I understand it you can cast devour and then use eat your fill immediately after as devour is a melee spell, and paired with Voracious you could eliminate Ht 2 masters with it..... although pretty hard to do but could be done.

Am I reading it correctly?

(0) Eat Yor Fill: This model may immediately use this action after it kills a model with a melee attack. Heal all wounds suffered by this model and immediately end its activation.

as a melee spell counts as a melee attack this does work in a combo right? otherwise it would be like snow storm which has

(0) Eat Yor Fill: This model may immediately take this action after it kills a model with a melee strike or melee spell. This model heals all Wd and then ends its activation.

sorry forgot to add the page reference for the melle spells being attacks pg 50-51 under spell basics and again under (rg) spell range

An "attack" is anything which targets an enemy model (paraphrased; read the rulebook definition). So in essence these are both the same wording and yes, it would work fine with melee spells using the first wording.

However - I'm pretty sure that devour sacrifices a target, and doesn't kill it, so you couldnt trigger Eat your Fill with it.

[Kadeton]

Yep, Devour sacrifices the target. It's a shame, you'd think the kitties would have eaten their fill in the process.

so sacrificed and killed are not the same? if not then that blows =( seeing as I brought 2 of them because I thought it did....

Nope, they're specifically different in game.

They're still cool cats, though.

Sacrificed is typically better than killed. See Hamelin, The Plagued and Kirai/Seishin.

but seeing as devour essentially causes the model to be killed sacrificed or no, would'nt that still count as "killed" by a melee attack? either way if I pair them with a silent 1 they can devour from 5" away through a north wind buff and frozen heart

Sacrificed and Killed are two different terms that do not overlap in any scenario.
