In the WH Rolebook it says that FW cannot use cards that modify the Marchalling Points of factions, and especifically mentions Sentines of Númenor and Tribute Gathered. But I have other questions:
- Great army of the north: it does not modify Facion MP, but gives 2 Misc. MP. Legal?
- 3 or more Factions under Orc or Troll Leader: somewhere I did read that you get the extra 2 MP. Correct?
- Long Grievous Siege: Gives 1 Misc MP, not increasing MP from the faction. Legal?

Any other faction modifiers cards that can be udes as a FW?

Thanks.

Yes (only 1 MP for FW player, that are MPs given by card, not modifier).

Yes.

That are normal 2 Misc. MPs.

Yes.


At that background a counting 1 MP of the Tribute Gathered as modifier looks odd. "1" is printed in left upper corner of card like in cases of cards that give MP by themselves.
As I said earlier somewhere, this is ICE's mistake. One Dear To You, not Tribute Gathered fits here.

Thanks for the response.

Regarding this:

I totally agree with you. As you can see in the card, it should give you +1 Facion MP (as the text says) and 1 Misc. MP for the card itself. I suppose it's FAQ'ed somwhere, or at least nobody tries to take advantage of that obvious errata...

To be clear: a FW does receive only 1 extra faction MP for 3 factions of a group under one leader.

*** The extra points provided from stacking certain factions on a leader are faction marshalling points.
