• All models of a unit are Trooper models.

	Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
	Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
	Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.

  • Shifting is an 8-inch place for one model, then the rest of the unit places within 2 inches of first model.
  • Teleportation now has a smaller area of possible effect, due to the stones being within 2 inches of a stone that shifted.

Lore

Shifting stones are fulcrums of natural power that tap into the pervading essences of Orboros to alter the flow of battle radically. Their mysterious power allows them to bathe nearby allies in raw life essence, sink quickly into the earth and rise again wherever they are needed, or send another creature to a completely different area of the battlefield.

Stone keepers are unwavering devotees of the earth-shaping path of druidic magic. These stoic blackclads share a deep connection with the magic-infused stones of the Circle. Calling upon the earth itself to do their bidding, stone keepers enshroud their rocky charges in mystical fog, shower their foes with a hail of rock, or warp their own flesh to stone-like rigidity.
