Could you explain how the 'crew' of a Dwarf Anvil of Doom work in close combat?URL Copied!
If you imagine that they form up just like a war machine crew, and work out who is in contact with whom on that basis, you won't go far wrong. It may even be worthwhile having a spare Runesmith and a couple of suitably hard-looking guard models to use for this purpose.

How does the Slayer skill work if the model is armed with a Rune of Might?URL Copied!
As noted in the description of the Slayer skill, their Strength is only increased after modifications for weapons. In this situation, the Slayer's Strength will only be increased if his doubled Strength is still less than that of his opponent's Toughness (unlikely since that would mean it was Toughness 9 or 10!).

Unbreakable is not listed for the Brotherhood of Grimnir. And it's not listed in the Slayer rules of the dwarf book. Are they Unbreakable?URL Copied!
Members of the Brotherhood are still Dwarf Slayers and thus have all the special rules of Slayers in the Dwarf Army book. They are are Unbreakable.

Can the Wards of Grimnir (Magic Resistance (1) within 6") be used against a spell that targets an "area" (such as Invocation of Nehek) rather than a unit if part of the area is within range?URL Copied!
Yes, although no specific model is targeted, if the spell is cast or the target is within 6" of the Wards of Grimnir, the Magic Resistance will come into effect. Note that in regards to Sylvanian Grave Markers, if the Grave Marker OR the target is within 6", the Wards of Grimnir apply.

Do Wards of Grimnir work against Bound Items?URL Copied!
Yes. I intended for the Wards of Grimnir to work against all spells, including bound ones.

If an enemy spell would affect (or fall within 6") of multiple models with the Wards of Grimnir, can the Slayers add a dispel dice for each model with the Wards?URL Copied!
No, in cases where there are more than one eligible source of Magic Resistance the highest MR value is used, they are not added together.

The Master Rune of Grimnir mentions deflecting arrows and cannonballs and states "Any friendly unit within 12" of the standard gains a 5+ Ward save against any ranged attack." What exactly does "ranged attack" mean in regards to this item? Does it only protect against shooting, or does it protect against magic as well?URL Copied!
The Master Rune of Grimnir was intended to work only vs. shooting attacks, not magic missiles and other spells. The Slayers have the Wards of Grimnir and additional dispel dice to protect them against magic.

Can a Slayer Army of Karak Kadrin hire Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown units?URL Copied!
No. Dogs of War / Regiments of Renown are not listed as an option in the army list. The only exceptions to this are Long Drong's Slayer Pirates and Malaki Makaisson's Goblin Hewer which may be hired as specifically noted in the army list.

If we go strictly on the rules, a Fanatic cannot be attacked in close combat and thus, it appears a Doomseeker can not harm a fanatic. Is that how we are to play it?URL Copied!
You are correct - simply apply their existing rules.

As Doomseekers do not attack normally, if you are an enemy model in a ranked unit the maximum amount of hits you can take from attacking Doomseekers is one, correct?URL Copied!
This is correct. Regardless of the number of Doomseekers attacking a ranked unit, any model in that ranked unit may only take one hit.
Source: Gav Thorpe - Warhammer Design Team
If you are an enemy model in a ranked unit and two Doomseekers are in base to base contact with you, you still only take one automatic hit, correct?URL Copied!
This is also correct.
Source: Gav Thorpe - Warhammer Design Team
If two Doomseekers are in base to base contact with a single enemy model (e.g. a chariot) how many hits does the single enemy model take? One D3 or two D3?URL Copied!
D3 per Doomseeker.

When a Doomseeker scores hits against a single model with multiple parts (e.g. a character riding on a monstrous mount or chariot) does the Doomseeker get to choose which part of the enemy model is hit? Or is it randomized as shooting?URL Copied!
As the Doomseeker does not attack normally, it should be randomly allocated as shooting.

Does a Doomseeker get re-rolls to hit Greenskins in the first round of combat due to hatred? Does a Doomseeker need sixes to hit an enemy unit behind a defended obstacle?URL Copied!
No. He does not attack (or roll to hit) in the normal manner and therefore, the re-rolls to hit do not apply. In addition special rules or magic items which modify a "to hit" roll do not apply to a Doomseeker.

How do we resolve a situation where a Doomseeker is engaged with a Skaven model (or models) armed with Plague Censers?URL Copied!
The Doomseeker strikes first, as he strikes before all types of other special attacks. Note however, that the Doomseeker is still required to pass a Toughness test (or lose a wound) as the test is required of all models in base to base contact with a Plague Censer at the beginning of the close combat phase.
