Dense Fog (pg 87) Patches of dense fog or thick smoke limit visibility on the battlefield. Dense fog is represented by clusters of 3˝, 4˝, or 5˝ AOE templates. These templates are cloud effects (p. 60). Cloud Effects (pg 60) A cloud effect produces an area of dense smoke, magical darkness, thick mists, or the like that remains in play for a specified length of time. Use an AOE template of the appropriate diameter to represent the cloud. Every model with any part of its base covered by the cloud’s template is within the cloud and is susceptible to its effects. In addition to being affected by a cloud’s special rules, a model completely within the perimeter a cloud effect gains concealment (p. 49). The cloud effect does not block line of sight from models within it to those outside of it or from models outside it to models within it, but it completely obstructs line of sight from models outside of it to anything beyond it. Thus, a model can see into or out of a cloud effect but not through one. A cloud effect provides no protection from melee attacks. Cloud effects do not block line of sight to huge-based models. | |
LOS - Unlike Forests, clouds don't have a 3" limit to LOS. If even a tiny bit of your base is inside the cloud, other models can see you from any direction. But if you are completely behind the cloud you can't be seen at all. So the "back edge" of a cloud blocks LOS to everything (except huge-based models).
Buffs & Penalities - Clouds provide concealment to models completely within a single cloud effect. If there are two clouds partially overlapping, and a model is standing such that it is fully within both clouds but not fully within either cloud, it does not get concealment.
If the cloud has any sort of penalty (such as Caustic Mist) then you suffer the penalty as soon as you are a tiny bit in it.
Super Clouds - When setting up a table, Cloud terrain can be "upgraded" to Fire Clouds (as per Burning Earth), Acid Clouds (as per Acid Bath but no water), or Squall.
The red Man-O-War is not completely within either cloud, so he does not benefit at all (even though the clouds are overlapping).
