Yes.

If a unit is augmented by Pha's Protection how does this interact with Shooting attacks that do not specifically target a unit? For example a cannon or stone thrower shot? (Reference)

Fire the shot as normal. If the template ends up over any models in a unit that have been augmented by Pha's Protection roll a D6. On a 4+ the entire shot is discounted.

If a Wizard has Throne of Vines cast upon himself and subsequently casts another spell from the Lore of Life, it gains additional benefits. Are these additional benefits lost if Throne of Vines is then dispelled? (Reference)

No. As long as a spell is cast while Throne of Vines is in play then the spell gains the additional benefits until the spell ends.

Certain spells, most notably Regrowth from the Lore of Life, allow you to resurrect models that have been killed or even add extra models to a unit. What happens if some or all of the models added to a unit do not fit at the back? (Reference)

Any models that do not have space to be placed at the back of the unit are lost. If, for example, your unit has been charged in its rear facing then you would be able to complete the back rank and any excess models are lost.

If models are resurrected in a unit that has charged that turn, do the resurrected models count as having charged?

No, but remember that the unit will still count as having charged when working out the combat result. (Reference)

As a standard is lost once its bearer has been killed how does this affect the number of models that can be resurrected by Regrowth? For example a unit of 20 Halberdiers have been reduced to 10 models and have lost their standard bearer, can they now be increased back to 20 models? (Reference)

The unit can still be increased back to 20 models. You can resurrect the model that was carrying the standard as a rank and file model.

If a character tries to leave a unit that is affected by the Net of Amyntok (or another similar spell or ability such as a Fulminating Flame Cage) including if he tries to charge out of it, is he required to take a Strength test? Also, if the test is failed, will any resulting damage hit only the character? (Reference)

Yes to both question. Though it is worth noting that a test is not required if he leaves without moving, through the Smoke and Mirrors lore attribute for example.

Does Birona's Timewarp affect units with the Random Movement or other movement special rules? (Reference)

Yes, however far they can normally move, it will be doubled. For example, a unit with the Random Movement (2D6) special rule rolls a 9. This would then be doubled to 18.

Is a flying unit that is hit by Comet of Casandora also affected by the Roiling Skies lore attribute? (Reference)
