FAQ for "Strangle-root attack" (2006) **Q. Can the Treeman and Treeman Ancient perform a Stand & Shoot charge reaction with the Strangle-root attack?**
A. The Direwolf FAQ Council submitted multiple requests to the Design Team for an answer to this question but unfortunately did not receive a response. The Warhammer Community as a whole is divided on the answer, and without a response from the Design Team this question is unable to be satisfactorily resolved. While the FAQ Council itself leans towards the answer being that Stand & Shoot is allowed based on our interpretation of existing rules, we do not believe it strongly enough to make such a ruling at this time.
The Council therefore recommends that you discuss the Strangle-Root attack with your opponent or the event organizer prior to its use.
