Weapons

Action & Reaction
	RNG	ROF	AOE	POW	LOCATION
	1	-	-	14	X2
Beat Back	Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action: The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model. After the enemy model is pushed, the attacking model can advance up to 1 inch directly toward it. You cannot move toward a model that is no longer on the table. When a movement occurs after a damage is resolved, and resolution of the damage destroys or removes a model from the table, then it is impossible to move toward that destroyed/removed model.   Errata-Follow Up (2023-08-23) Question: What is the timing of follow up, and do you still move if a slammed model is destroyed? Answer: 1. Slam attack 2. Damage to target and collateral damage. 3. If slammed model is still on the table, Follow Up movement. Explanation: The old ruling will still apply here. The rationale is the “slam” and “Slammed” descriptions include the target taking a damage roll caused by the action. Therefore the damage roll is part and parcel with resolving the “slam”. For the it was that you can not follow up to a model that has been destroyed as there is no longer a model on the board to follow up to. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Infernal) - PP Community forum

No errata for Wall Template (Create)
Errata-Razor Wall (2023-12-28) Question: Does a model with flight still take damage going over a razor wall? Answer: Yes. Explanation: Because Flight does not state a specific interaction with Razor Wall, and Razor Wall does not state any specific interaction with Flight, one can safely conclude that there are no special interactions. A model with Flight will suffer the damage point if it enters or ends its activation in the area of the wall template. Infernal Ruling: Unofficial Answer - PP Community forum

Lore

What Axis lacks in subtlety, he more than makes up for in knowledge, mathematical precision, and brute strength. His dedication to crushing any who oppose the Great Work is matched only by his devotion to Cyriss herself. Armed with his twin hammers Action and Reaction, Axis finds satisfaction in serving the goddess through the calculated destruction of her enemies.
