    Counterattack, Rage and Furious Charge Empty Counterattack, Rage and Furious Charge

    Post by shepz101 Sun Feb 10, 2013 2:10 am

    I came accross this the other week in a game, and was wondering about the ruling on it.

    I'll use khorne beserkers as an example, as they have all the above rules.

    An enemy unit charges my berserkers, and I roll for counter attack, and pass the leadership test. Do I also get the Rage bonus, and Furious Charge bonus as well?

    The way I read it, I wouldn't get the other bonus's.

    Here's the rules copied from the rulebook for ease of reference:

    Counter Attack:
    If a unit contains at least one model with this special rule, and that unit is charged, it must immediately take a leadership test. If the test is successful, every model with the Counter-Attack special rule in the unit gets +1 Attack unit the end of the phase.
    If, when charged, the unit was already locked in combat, the Counter-attack rule has no effect

    Furious Charge:
    It a turn in which a model with this special rule charges into combat, it adds +1 to its Strength chatacteristic until the end of that phase. A model that has made a disordered charge that turn receives no benifit from Furious Charge.

    Rage:
    In a turn in which a model with this special rule charges into combat, it gains +2 attacks for charging, rather then +1. A model that has made a disordered charge that turn receives no benifit from Rage.


    The way it's written, you only get the +1S and +2A when you charge, and as Counter-Attack isn't charging, you wouldn't receive it. Is this right?

    I agree in your assessment. The Counter-Attack rule does not state that the counter-attacking unit is making a charge of any sort therefore the Furious Charge and Rage rules are not able to trigger as both require for the unit to be making a charge action.

    p.s Thankfully the rule itself is called Counter-Attack and not Counter-Charge, being called the latter would have been lolz and created doubt.
