Model Advantages and Abilities

Resistance-Electricity	When this model suffers an electrical damage roll, remove one die from the damage roll. Lightning cannot arc from this model. Lightning cannot arc to this model (ignore this model when determining arcing lightning) No errata for Resistance-Electricity (Create)
Dual Attack	This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.   Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27) Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range? Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13) Explanation: This post is correct. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10) Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot). Answer: No. Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum

Pistol	A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.   Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17) Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray? Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee. Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum
Damage Type-Electricity	This weapon causes electrical damage. No errata for Damage Type-Electricity (Create)
Lightning Generator	When a model is directly hit with a basic attack made with this weapon, lightning arcs from the model hit to d3 consecutive additional models. The lightning arcs to the nearest model it has not already arced to within 3 inches of the last model it arced to, ignoring this model. Each model the lightning arcs to suffers a POW 10 electrical damage roll. Lightning arc damage rolls are not considered to have been caused by an attack. Resolve lightning arc damage rolls simultaneously with the damage from the attack that caused the leap.   Errata-Lightning Generator (2024-2-19) Question: Can a Lightning Generator damage roll be boosted? Answer: Yes Explanation: Lightning Generator and Electro Leap are not the same rule. Electro Leap says “unboostable” but since Lightning Generator doesn’t specify otherwise, it can be boosted.

Warcaster Rules

Feat: Thundering Rage

While in Maddox's control range, friendly Faction models' weapons gain +2 POW and Beat Back. Thundering Rage lasts for one turn.

Beat Back

Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action:

1. The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model.
2. 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.
