Core Set Rules

By Fizzlefuz, in Warhammer Invasion Rules Questions

Hello,

My wife and I just picked up the Core Set for WH:I. We're both new to LCG's or any game of this kind and had a few issues with the core rules tonight during our first play through.

1) Cards on hand. During the quest phase you are supposed to draw as many cards from your deck as you have hammers or (power) on your quest side. But his there a limit as to how many cards you are holding in hand at any time? (Tonight I handed up losing because I was holding all my cards in my hand at the end of the game).

2) Loyalty points: According to the manual loyalty points under the unit's cost add those loyalty points to the unit cost. So an orc unit that costs two resources but has 3 loyalty points listed under it's costs actually ends up costing 5 resources total. But in the video tutorial those loyalty costs are ignored. So which way is it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum and Warhammer: Invasion :)

1) No, there is no limit.

2) You pay the loyalty costs only if you do not have enough loyalty symbols (at the right lower corner of the illustration) in play.

2 examples:

- You play a chaos deck and therefore have no orc loyalty symbols in play. You want to play the orc card "Urguck", who has printed costs 3 and 3 orc loyalty costs. So you have to pay 6 ressources.

- You play orcs and have in play only a lobber crew, which gives you 1 orc loyalty symbol. So, together with that on your orc capital board, you have 2 loyalty symbols in total. Again, you want to play Urguck. You have to pay the printed costs of 3 and 1 of the loyalty costs in addition, since you only have 2 loyalty symbols in play.

(You can find that on page 11 of the rule book.)

I hope this helps you. Otherwise, feel free to ask again.

Thanks. We missed the fact that a capitol has build in loyalty points. So every unit unless it's part of an development will give me loyalty points once I play it?

Yes, supports, quests and legends also.
