6th ed Rules of the Game: Hemlock Wraithfighter and Multiple Layers of Fearless requesting feedback

by | Jun 23, 2013

Here's a situation one of our gamers brought.  Would like your thoughts on how this works.



JJ typing, I've figured this rule out.  Want to get other's thoughts.


Hemlock Wraithfighter Eldar Codex 6th ed pg 52

Psychic Powers: The Hemlock Wraithfighter does not roll for psychic powers but always knows the Terrify psychic power from the Telepathy discipline.

Terrify 40k6 mini-rulebook pg 147

Terrify is a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 24".  The target receives no benefit from the Fearless special rule and treats all enemy unit as having the Fear special rule for the powers [sic] duration.  Furthermore, it must immediately take a Morale Check.

Wraithguard Eldar Codex 6th ed pg 49

Special Rules: Fearless

Avatar of Khaine Eldar Codex 6th ed pg 26

Khaine Awakened: All friendly units chosen from Codex: Eldar within 12" are Fearless


Here's the situation: Hemlock Wraithfighter uses its Terrify power on a squad of Wraithguard.  Terrify strips Fearless from the Wraithguard.  The Wraithguard are within 12" of the Avatar.  Wraithguard gain Fearless from the Avatar.  Does the Wraithguard have multiple Fearless layers?  The first layer of Fearless is from the units own special rule.  The second layer is from the Avatar's Khaine Awakened special rule.  If the first layer of Fearless is removed does the unit benefit from second layer should the first be removed?

Please provide any references with books and pages numbers.
