Age of Sigmar General /aosg/

Pre-order 30th, out 6th.

Okay AOS general I need some clarification on a possible rules conflict until an FAQ comes out.

Played Ironjawz recently and managed to cast Foot of Gork on my opponent. Foot of Gork says "If successfully cast, inflict D6 mortal wounds on a unit within 18". Then roll a dice - on a 4 or more Gork stomps again: resolve another D6 mortal wounds on an eligible unit. Gork keeps stamping until you fail to roll a 4 or more."

I cast this and dealt the first required mortal wounds, then rolled a 4+ and dealt another D6 mortals. My opponent then claimed I should stop there due to the Third Rule of One, but our tournament organizer decided that I would be allowed to continue until I failed to roll a 4 or more. I ended up wiping a couple units due to some lucky rolls and it secured my victory.

The Third Rule of One says that any extra attacks, hit rolls, or wound rolls gained by the use of an ability cannot themselves generate extra attacks, hit rolls, or wound rolls. The TO stated that since Foot of Gork isn't generating any extra attacks of any kind, and since the 4+ roll or the D6 mortal wounds don't meet the classifications of a To Hit or a To Wound roll as it's described in the main rules, it was a legal play. Was he wrong?

My opinion: I've always been of the belief that specific beats general, but since the Third Rule of One specifically mentions instances like Ripperdactyl's Voracious Appetite, I don't know. I want to say the TO is right because of the wording of the Rule of One, and since the spell requires a 10 to cast anyway it seems like it's a high-risk, high-reward thing, but it also seemed unfair that I was able to win based off of one spell.

tl;dr - is Foot of Gork's wound chaining limited by the Third Rule of One or is it a loophole that is allowed legally?

If your book allows you to roll again then you roll again - your opponent was being a tad salty

After all it says "Do damage, THEN roll again"
The attacks aren't generating extra attacks

the TO is correct, the continuation is a function of the original spell cast. you're still only casting the spell once, but it can chain out of control, much like the drakeseer's ability.

I can't say it's the most ideal all the time, but split the Grave Guard into two units and get twice the banner power. They're gonna be hard to kill anyway with the death allegiance trait.

Hi /AoSG/, what Grot faction fits regular Gutbuster Ogors in looks better? Discounting Gnoblar Grots, of course.

Moonclan, Regular or Spider?

Go with Gitmob - Wolf Riders/Chariots and Ironblasters look like they belong to the same army anyway. Moonclan aren't gross enough to fit with Ogors and the spiders will probably just look out of place.

open play is going to dominate

...

Yeah, no way. I've seen tons of people playing with points now. Open play was awful.
