Poison and Disengaging Strikes

[WiLDRAGE]

With the Poison Errata, a model no longer needs to deal damage in order to apply poison counters to its target, it only needs to hit with an attack.

Does this mean that a model such as Coppelius, which has Poison 2 on his Long Clawed Fingers will inflict poison counters on models it successfully hits with a disengaging Strike?

From the rules, it would seem that it is the case as a disengaging Strike is still an attack.

I believe you are correct, RAW, but I probably wouldn't want to play it that way.

This fell off out FAQ, but here it is in all it's wonderful glory. It will be added to the main document on Monday/Tuesday when we deal with all the small typos people spot over the weekend.

Q: Can I poison a model as it tries to Disengage?

A: No. In addition to not allowing Triggers or inflicting damage/wounds a Disengaging Strike does not inflict additional effects (like Poison) unless those effects state otherwise.

Yay Ratty!

So I'm asuming that if a model has wicked, and poison, for instance if a Black Blood Shaman givs Lilith Poison, then would her disengaging strikes would confer poison, or would they only cause damage?

[Buhallin]

Wicked only adds in damage, so no other effects even if you cause damage.
