Hordes and Fear

By Hehateme, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

Hey all,

In my campaign I have a player character who, due to his armor history, causes Fear. We had a situation last game when he was in melee combat with an enemy horde, and the question came up whether the horde was affected by Fear? I looked around in the DW book but couldn't find any reference to this. Anyone have any insight regarding this issue?

Thanks guys!

Unless the creatures composing the Horde are immune to fear, I think the Horde has to test against it just like everything else.

Errata page 6, column two, paragraph 3 adds the fear rules to the damaging a horde block in the main book. In summary, Hordes roll WP + Magnitude - Fear Penalty. Failure means they run away. Certain traits provide immunity or resistance.

Hey I found it, thanks Charmander, much appreciated!
