Some creatures are naturally resistant to magic, for example Stone Trolls. A spell cast against a unit of Stone Trolls is dispelled on the D6 roll of 4+. Other creatures which have natural Dispels include Chaos Sorcerers of Tzeentch. Natural Dispels are only of any use when a spell is cast against the creature or unit which is resistant in this way - they cannot dispel spells directed elsewhere.

As with a Dispel from a magic item a natural Dispel is always a flat dice roll. It is not modified by the caster's level and power cards cannot be used to boost the Dispel or to reinforce the spell.

When is the Model/Unit a Target

In some cases it will be very obvious that resistant troops are the direct target of a spell - a Fireball or Curse for example. In other cases it is less obvious because the spell affects several units or has an indirect effect. In these cases the rule is that a resistant model or unit may use its natural Dispel if it will be affected by the spell, regardless of whether it is the direct or sole target of the spell.

A spell successfully countered by a natural Dispel is dispelled in the normal fashion. The spell is not cast and does not work.
