Hi all,

After playing -and liking - this game for over a year, we have already noticed that the wording on the cards and in the rules has to be read very carefully as there are subtle differences between say 'moved' and 'summoned'.snore

In this game, we had the following issue:

Slaanesh was playing a chaos card on an area that held only enemy figures. The card allowed him to 'take control' of one of these figures.ninja

Later, Slaanesh summoned another figures in the same area, stating that he could do so because it already contained one of his figures (meaning: the enemy figure that he controlled). Slaanesh did not have other figures of his own in the area or an adjacent area.

Is this allowed? So..is the 'controlled' figure treated as a Slaanesh figure, allwoing moving other figures over. Or is a still, say a Tzeentch figure that is just controlled by Slaanesh...?

Thanks for any advice.

It is allowed. It is one point of having this card.

It allows Slaanesh to expand over great distances or access regions he otherwise could not reach directly.

You can even take the controlled figure and resummon it to somewhere else, still retaining control over it.

According to the rules, move and summon are to be regarded as synonyms.

That is true, but I don't think Slaanesh would retain control of the figure after re-summoning it away. The figure should be under his control because of the chaos card in that area. Once it has left it the control is lost.

I might be wrong but this is how I've always interpreted it.

Better read the FAQ before applying interpretations

Q: When you control an enemy Cultist using Slaanesh’s Soporific Musk card, can you resummon the controlled Cultist to another region?

A: Yes, the Slaanesh player can summon the controlled Cultist to another region. If the Cultist is summoned to another region, it remains under the influence of the Soporific Musk. The controlled figure should be marked in some way to make sure everyone knows the figure is still under control of the Slaanesh player until the end of the turn.


Also WarpShield works in the same way. There is even an example in the rulebook that he remains shielded even when summoned away.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Well, you can understand why we interpreted this way: "should be marked in some way" ???shake
