    • NOTE: - 'All Done' The Dreamer should be Placed in base contact with the buried Lord Chompy Bits before it is removed from the table

  • Freikorps Specialist:

    • No Changes.
    • NOTE: - 'Detonate Tanks' creates a pulse that doesn't directly do damage so the Freikorps Armor does not protect against it. Any model in the 'Detonate Tanks' pulse has a duel directly generated against it, so it is not affected by targeting restrictions (eg. the Specialist being in melee, the target being out of LoS from the Specialist). The duel generated by 'Detonate Tanks' counts as being a ranged attack made by a Flammenwerfer so ignores Armor and cover modifiers.

    • 'Packed to the Gills' : The term "Damage Flip" is simply now a "Flip". NOTE: - This means it can't be cheated.

Hamelin receives -4 Ca until the end of the Encounter.'
    • 'Pipes' now say 'When this Weapon inflicts severe damage on a 'non-Master' model with Wp5 or less...'
    • 'Irresistible Lure' is a pulse not an aura
  • Jack Daw:

    • 'Ancient Words' should be named Suppressed Memories.
    • both 'Oldest Magic' and 'Undying' should have "This ability cannot be negated or removed by any means" though they are both missing from the card. (No you can't make Jack Daw unkillable by hexing off Undying. You're a bad person)
