Poisoned Weapons and Etherealness ???

[Boron]

really? there's an MR check??

hm yeah in the weapon description there is a mr negates statement . i am not so sure if that is really checked though or gets at least a bonus .
i think it is a 11 + 2d6oe throw against the Mr + 2d6oe of the pretender . at least according to the manual .
so with 18 mr about 10% should hit .
given that when fully swarmed at least 200-300 attacks are made by the sleep vines lets say about 100 hit through swarming so 10% would be still 10 hits = 330 fatigue .

i think fighting pan cw carrion beast hordes with sc's only is suicide . even with 24 mr still about 2% of the hits succeed in the mrcheck . and fatigue reduces defense skill of a unit so when you get a lucky early hit already many more sleep vines will hit you from swarming .
and you get some damage through the normal attacks or trampling by the larger carrion beasts probably too .

carrion beasts are problably one of the really few types of creatures where it isn't good to attack with scs .
the other kind of troop were this is as severe are vampires imho . so attack both with holy pyre / wither bones and a meat wall
