SPIKE! 3 Questions

Hi Zebulon,
I've re-posted your question in the same thread on facebook.
Cheers

I'm sorry Lunchmoney, that's the process.

Zebulon, what language are you looking at please, I'm guessing French? This might be a translation error.

Thanks @plasmoid.

@JT-Y. I'm talking about the English one.
That said, we have the same problem in the French version.
With the addition of a translation error concerning the Cavorting Nurglings (can't get FAME +2 with them instead of "may not take the team above +2 FAME".

Thank you in advance for the answers.
This issue of Spike! was still very pleasant to read.

I'm looking at the English version and there's no mention of Bulla playing for Renegades on page 5 or 24. If you have a misprint in an English language version it is pretty unique. Care to show me a picture?

If you have found any typos or translation errors in the French version, please list them. I'll pass them on to those who deal with translations.

I've got the digital version and it has this contradiction, on the pages you mention.

I am aware of the world domination of FB. If I have questions I will just have to get someone else to ask them

Interesting. Also an easy fix compared to hard copies.

Is Renegades added to his card on pg 24 or the table on pg5?

Are you looking at digital or hard copy Zebulon?

Is Renegades added to his card on pg 24 or the table on pg5?

Page twenty-four.

Physical English copy here, Nurgle only on both pages.

+1
Digital English copy and Hard Copy French version. Both say the same thing.

The Spike! description on the GW webstore talks about Bulla is:
"-Star Player Spotlight: a grisly profile of Bulla Shardhorn, a pox-ridden beast who can play for Chaos Renegade, and Nurgle teams. Includes his in-game cost, stats and skills, and career highlights;"

Love the SPIKES. Have a few questions on the most current.

1) Are Plague Doctors and Cavorting Nurglings 0-1?

2) Why are Plague Doctors allowed as inducements for the Chaos Renegades? In what situation would you take it over the Wandering Apothecaries?

3) Is it mentioned in the mag that Nurgle teams can't hire apothecaries? I can't seem to locate it. I know it is in the BBA, but I feel like this is an oversight unless I am missing something.

Thanks!

Official Answers:

"Ok! This just in from the Rules Commission in the Specialist Games Team:

1. Yes, plague doctors and cavorting Nurglings should be 0-1.

2. Renegades can have a Troll and can suffer knocked out players, so the plague doctor does have a use.

3. It states in the Apothecary rules that Nurgle teams can't have one. Spike! Journal does not replace the need to have the rulebooks and a copy of dz1 or the inaugural almanac.

Hope that helps!"

Still unknown is if the Plague Doctor can be used on a Star Player. Igor in CRP was not allowed to be used on Star Players like Apothecaries.

It is also in BBA. From my understanding, the Spike! mags are meant to cover each team comprehensively. Missing this detail is pretty important and I was wondering if I overlooked it in the Spike 3. So looking for a page number in Spike.

Spike Magazines don't cover teams comprehensively. They don't include things like pitch rules, ball rules ++.

What is the status on Igor vs Plague Doctor? Is Igor no longer in use for BB2016?

Igor was changed in the BBA to work for "dead" teams only. Necro, Undead, Khemri
