Power dice is decided by 2D6. The active player gets the sum as power dice and the other player the highest throw as dispel dice (throw 3+5, = 8 PD and 5 DD)

then each wizard roll a D6, on a 6, you get an extra power dice or dispel dice up to a maximum of 12.

dwarf still gets extra 2 dispel dice.

As usual, but now dispel scolls are 1 per army. There are, however a number of alternate dispel scrolls that dispel + do something else funky. Cost more than a standard scroll though.

I've heard a lot of rumours about skirmishers in 8th edition. Seeing as I play Wood Elves who rely on heavy combat skirmishers for a fair bit of their killing power - can someone who has read the book sum up their rules for me please? Ranking up, rank bonuses, line of sight, stubborn in a forest etc...

Nope. It's something like you use a power dice and add the bound lvl of the spell for the casting roll, but I'll let someone who's actually read the book answer properly.

if you have a bound item, you must power it with dice.  You can choose to roll between 1 and 6 as with normal spells in 8th edition.  You must equal or beat the power level of the bound item for it to work, but your opponent must match or beat your roll.  If you miscast, the bound item is destroyed - no need to roll on the table.  If you are a warrior priest, you simply can't use prayers anymore after that.  You don't add your level to the dice roll if you are a wizard and using a bound item.
