Plus against most armys (pathetic leadership unless a character is near) dwarves being the exception. The fear rule can wreak havoc. It is incredibly effective to charge a small unit of skellys into a large unit with low leadership and then so satisfying to see them flee before your 10 man squad which could barely scratch that unit.
Also with the magic thing, you will have to read and then re-read that section several times as magic can be a pain in the neck to get your head around. As opposed to a leadership check and then rolling to hit, wound in 40k. There are a myriad of factors which could influence how badly wrong, or how amazingly right magic can go.
Either way good luck with your army and whatever you do, do NOT field your army without movement trays as it can be an incredibly long and painstaking process... |
Oh god magic I know! It took me at least half an hour to understand the basics but miscasting sound fun for the opposing player!
