Sure its already be answered somewhere but if a figure with mastermind is hit by an attack that generates knockback if they give the damage to a lackey does the lackey take the knockback?

Yes... the lackey would also take the knockback associated with the attack.

Bonus. That's what I thought. Thanks for your help

You say also...So do they both take knock-back, with the mastermind fig. not receiving any damage?

How do you determine which way the lackey is knocked back?

Good question, by the way...

The damage and all of the knockback associated with that damage is transferred by Mastermind, meaning only the Lackey will actually move. And he will move away from the original attacker.

....along a straight line away from the attacker.... if the line isn't very straight... the attacker can choose the path... as long as the path is fairly straight...... (as per the FAQ)

Thanks!
