Q: Does Writhing Worldscape cause every model moving
through difficult terrain, moving as if in difficult terrain
and counting as moving through difficult terrain to take
a Dangerous Terrain test? (p41)
A: Yes. For example a unit hit by a tremor stave would
have to take Dangerous Terrain tests if they moved in
the following turn, as would any unit moving in the first
turn of the game if their opponent had Orikan the
Diviner

... err... sure am glad I started taking that then !

Most bizarre ruling IMO.

Q. Does Khârn’s “Blessing of the Blood God” ignore
persistent psychic abilities (like Psychic Scream or Veil of
Tears)? (p48)
A. Yes. The psychic ability still functions, however Khârn
simply ignores any and all effects of the ability.
Q: If a unit containing Khârn is hit by a psychic power that
forces the target to move, can the unit be moved? (p48)
A: No. The unit must move at the speed of its slowest
model, and Khârn is not affected by the psychic power

Q: When working out which targets are visible to a
Chaos Dreadnought suffering from a Fire Frenzy result,
are you limited to those units within the 45 degree line
of sight of its weapons? (p40)
A: Yes

... hmm... seems the world does end in 2012 then as GW have answered these questions.

Q: Is Lash of Submission a Psychic Shooting Attack and
must it roll To Hit? (p88)
A: Yes to both questions. Note that if it misses, it will
have no effect

hmm... not how we'd played it, but I can live with it.

Wow, there are some suprising changes...:

Chaos spacemarines

Q: Is Lash of Submission a Psychic Shooting Attack and
must it roll To Hit? (p88)
A: Yes to both questions. Note that if it misses, it will
have no effect.

Q: Does Warptime allow the psyker to pick and choose
which To Hit and To Wound dice he will re-roll? (p88)
A: No. He can decide after each To Hit or To Wound roll
but he must re-roll all dice or no dice.

grey knights

Q: If a model with a Nemsesis Force halberd has had
his Initiative reduced to a fixed number by an
ability/special rule, do they still get the +2 Initiative
from the Halberd? (p54)
A: Yes.

necrons

Q: If an army contains Imotekh the Stormlord can a
Cryptek with a chronometron use it to re-roll the roll to
see if the Night Fighting special rule stays in effect? (p85)
A: Only if Imotekh is in the same unit as the Cryptek
with the chronometron.

Q: If a single model fails the Leadership test caused by
mindshackle scarabs, will his Attacks be resolved
against himself? (p81)
A: Yes.

love this

Q: Do models from a Royal Court that are attached to a
Deathmark Squad benefit from the Hunters from
Hyperspace special rule? (p90)
A: Yes.

woohoo^^

You know what I like most about the new blog? No obnoxious, unnecessary links all over the thing leading you to product pages. Very nice.

Q: Does Eldritch Storm need to roll To Hit? (p28)
A: Yes, though as it is a blast weapon, Eldritch Storm
will scatter.

An actual answer !

Q: Does Thunderclap scatter? (p37)
A: No.
Q: Do you need to roll To Hit with Jaws of the World
Wolf? (p37)
A: No

I agree the new blog is a lot better looking too.

Q: Can a unit take cover saves from any source other
than the terrain they are in, or touching, against
Wounds caused by an impaler cannon? (p47)
A: No

Couple of rulings from the IG one:

Page 96 – Infantry Platoon, second sentence
Change to “Each Infantry Platoon is deployed in place
of a single unit in missions that limit the number units
that can be deployed. In addition when making a
reserve or outflanking roll, roll once for the whole
Infantry Platoon. Any units in reserve that are
embarked upon a non-dedicated transport are instead
rolled for separately.”

Q: Can Ministorum Priests or Techpriest Enginseers be
taken as the mandatory HQ choice? (p93)
A: Yes

Those are.. out of the blue.

FINALLY! Now all those rule lawyers at the shop can promptly stuff it as I try to ever-living my lord on a 4+ with an orb.

Q: Can models embarked upon a vehicle use its fire
points to draw line of sight to a unit to use special
rules or wargear (other than shooting)? (p66)
A: No.

Wow that's huge

Q: Can a unit take cover saves from any source other
than the terrain they are in, or touching, against
Wounds caused by an impaler cannon? (p47)
A: No.

Well that's a buff

Q: If a model with Acid Blood takes an unsaved Wound
from a Walker, does the Walker get to take an
Initiative test, and only if it fails this test do you roll to
see if it suffers a glancing hit? (p84)
A: Yes.

lolwut

Q: Does the Dodge (4+) special rule confer a 4+
invulnerable save against Wounds caused by a vehicle
exploding in close combat? (p27)
A: No.

Why GK get that staff crap

Q: Can I take a flickerfield save against becoming
immobilised from a Dangerous Terrain test? (p63)
A: No. The save from a flickerfield can only be taken
against glancing and penetrating hits.

Why?

The deathmarks being unable to deepstrike with an attached character is a bit odd, if they did not change the Space Wolf FAQ, but I guess having to take a Nightscythe to ds a +2 Poison AP2 flamer is a small price to pay.

Also, still no word on what happens if Deathmarks use a VoD?

Chaos space marines continue their long slow death march to oblivion it would seem with this FAQ

Wow, that's some nice rulings for the Crons.

This is...interesting. Not sure it will have any significance for IG armies, but it could.

Q: Can Ministorum Priests or Techpriest Enginseers be
taken as the mandatory HQ choice? (p93)
A: Yes.

The platoons change is huge as well, my current tournament list would be able to deploy 6 chimeras filled with 5 infantry in Dawn of War games

since the lash of submission rolls to hit for being a psychic shooting attack, does that mean JotWW also has to roll to hit for being a psychic shooting attack?

They ruled that it does not.

I think you missed it.

Q: Can a veil of darkness be used instead of moving
onto the board when a unit arrives from reserve? (p84)
A: Yes

A VODtek can deepstrike along with his unit of Deathmarks. No answer if they get to place other tokens, though.

Overall, I'm very happy with the FAQ

Q: Does Shadow in the Warp affect psykers who are
taking a Psychic test whilst embarked within a
transport vehicle? (p33)
A: Yes.


Q: Did we have our heads up our ass for a couple of years
A: Yes

But thanks for taking care of it....

the necron stuff is exactly as I thought it would end up with the exception of having 2 crypteks in a squad. I totally thought they would FAQ it to 1 per squad.

sn0zcumb3r wrote:Q: Did we have our heads up our ass for a couple of years
A: Yes

They need a general one.

Q. Why are your prices so high?
A. We produce the finest miniatures in the world!

Q. Why don't you fire Matt Ward?
A. He does his job just fine.

Q. Why is my Finecost product so badly cast?
A. As a new process there will be some kinks for a while as it starts up.
If you encounter any miscast products be sure to let your local GW know or call our support and we'll gladly get you a replacement.

Aye just read that. Better late then never.

I'm really surprised at some of the directions they chose to take with Royal Courts! I didn't expect them to let us mix and match Cryptek's within courts as well as letting us put two Cryptek's from different courts into squads.

Wow, an excellent FAQ for the Crons. They even answered the Arc question as far as where the additinal shots count as coming from.

I'll say I'm pleasantly surprised by the double cryptek ruling but I do like it.

I'd like to point this one out too since we were playing that you can't combat squad in reserves....

Blood Angels

Q: When a unit of 10 Space Marines with the Combat
Squad special rule arrives from reserve as two combat
squads, can they move on from, or Deep Strike onto,
two different locations? (p23)
A: Yes.

The Necron FAQ is excellent, it is quite litterly everything I had hoped for!

I'm so happy that I can take Two members from different courts and join them to the same squad as well! I was worried about that one!

Initially, I thought "Wow, that really makes Necrons different than other armies!" And then I realized that just about everyone else can take multiple special weapons in a troops choice. It's not that different (just more expensive). It makes me happy (very happy)

What really surprises me is that Imotehk getting to reroll failed Nightfighting.

Thank God, a ruling on Entropic Strike vs. Vehicle Squadrons. Playing IG later this week and wasn't looking forward to figuring that out...

This is *HUGE*

Page 26 – Runes of Warding
Change the last sentence to “All enemy Psykers must
roll an extra dice when taking Psychic tests, suffering
Perils of the Warp on any roll of 12 or above.”

Great to finally have the Necron FAQ.

In general, all the answered questions were as I saw it, or at least resulted in the amendment that I expected (the death ray, for example).

For me the big shock is being able to mix up varieties of Cryptek within courts. The way I read it I was SURE that GW would rule that you have to pick one flavour and stick to it. It's nice to be wrong in this regard =)

Also, something pointed out by Kirby over at 3++, no Tau or BT updates with this batch of FAQs . . . good sign that we have new Codexes for them coming!

There was confusion about it? That's how we've always played it.

Goodbye Chaos!
