failed foul appearance, continue blitz move?

I was playing a game where I used an orc in an adjacent square and tried to blitz a nurgle warrior and failed the foul appearance. I hadn't moved him yet so proceeded to move him after the failed roll. my opponent thought the orc shouldn't be able to move because he wasn't able to do the block. I figured the foul appearance skill doesn't say the orc can no longer continue his action. we ended up allowing the orc to move but wanted to verify it here for next time. did we play it correctly?

FA doesnt say anything about ending the action, so I would say you did correctly in allowing the Orc to dodge away.

I agree with lunchmoney, AFAIK there is nothing in the rules which could be construed as depriving the blitzing player of his remaining points of movement. He just loses the point of movement for the block which he doesn't get to make. Seems OK "fluff-wise" too.
All the best.

cool thanks guys. also if anybody else also agrees I'd appreciate the confirmation.
another thing, does a blitzing player have to do a block somewhere in the blitz?

Yes you can continue moving, and no you don't have to throw a block.... Indeed, having failed against the foul appearance, you cannot throw a block during said blitz action....

I would also note you burned 1 square of movement trying the block also (it says 'the block is wasted'), but yes you can still move with whatever MA you had left.
