Model Advantages and Abilities

Pathfinder	This model treats rough terrain as open terrain while advancing. While charging, slam power attacking, or trample power attacking, this model does not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle. No errata for Pathfinder (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
Field Marshal	Field Marshal grants the following ability/abilities to the cohort models in this model's battlegroup. Prowl - While this model has concealment, it gains Stealth. No errata for Field Marshal (Create)   Errata-Prowl (2024-2-17) Question: Does Prowl prevent a model from losing stealth while it has concealment? Example 1: A Warpwolf Stalker with Prowl has concealment and is shot by a weapon with Flare. Thus the model gets -2DEF and loses Stealth. However, as soon as the model loses stealth, it gains it back by having Prowl and being in Concealment. Example 2: A Soul Stalker is targetted by Spyglass and thus loses Stealth for a round. However, when it was shot by an AoE also hitting a cultist, the cultis dies and Agathon now casts Occultation on the soul snake, does it gain Stealth again despite having lost it? Answer: For now stealth will not be reapplied in the above example. Explanation: So we will be using the ruling from MKIII until we have time to go through the different abilities. For now we are looking into the issue brought up by this thread for now. Mainly due to the volume of rules we need to address this first prior to moving on the the other issues, similar to this. Also it is due to the fact we have a previous edition ruling that we are applying to this scenario. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck Infernal - PP Community forum

Lore

• Tanith's weapon "The Staff of Fate" is made from one of Wurmwoods living branches and was given to her by her master, Vernor the Nightbringer, when she completed her druidic training.

Tanith the Feral Song is a harsh enforcer and remorseless killer. Often she is sent on tasks other young druids might shy away from, such as when another member of the druidic order needs to be punished or when it's deemed necessary to cull an encrouching settlement. Tanith is completely devoted to the Circle Orboros and the Devourer Wurm itself and has delved deeply into the mysteries of the Beast of All Shapes. Even among her peers and subordinates she is kept at a distance, perhaps because they know if it was required she would sacrifice them with no hesitation or remorse.

Trivia

• Released in 2016.06 in the battlebox set
• Resculpted in 2021 as a standalone model.
