That leads to a very heavy nerf to Kharn the betrayer now, my friend who plays CSM will not be happy.

Also, a big thanks to all those who have answered my questions.

What are the rules about interviewing models right now? Particularly vehicles? Do they give infantry behind them cover saves?

I am trying to figure out if the Kan Wall can still work. All those Killa Kans...shelved.

Intervening models (both friendly and opposing) confer a 5+ cover save to models partially concealed behind them.

Sweeping advance rules remain unchanged from 5th ed.

Frostbitten wrote:How does the salvo rule work?

Salvo works as follows:

Shellstorm cannon R48" S6 AP5 Salvo 2/4

A model with a salvo weapon can move and fire the weapon at half its maximum range using the first number (in this case it would be 2 shots at 24") or it can remain stationary and fire the weapon at full range with the second number (48" with 4 shots).

If you shoot with a salvo weapon, you cannot assault in the upcoming assault phase.

If a flying MC arrives via deep strike does it have to be in Glide mode?

When a flying MC comes into play from reserves, the controlling player must declare whether it is in swoop or glide mode.

Is Preferred Enemy in the Shooting Phase or Assult Phase?

DragonRider wrote:Is Preferred Enemy in the Shooting Phase or Assult Phase?

Both, works for to hit and to wound for assault and shooting. (1's only) Also it can be granted by having an IC with the rule join the squad (Destroyer lords joining praetorians would grant it PE everything)

O.K here is a question. In the 6th Ed. Tau Errata it states that decoy launchers can force the enemy to reroll whenever they immobilize a vehicle with it. So here is my question. Is that only once? or they the reroll is also an immobilized result, can that also be rerolled? Thoughts please

How is the waghh called byghazkull thraka being handled now? I understand that fleet lets you re roll the dice for the charge. However, with ghazzys automatic 6 inch move, what do we use. A 6 plus a die roll, two 6 die roll, or, is this just not happening anymore?

The way it's worded "whenever" allows you to use it any time your opponent rolls an immobilized result.

You can only ever have one reroll.

You automatically get the 6" run provided by Ghazghkull, no rolling required.

I understand that he has a auto 6. Charging is a roll of two dice. Does GT get screwed and only allowed to go 6 inches or does he get to roll an additional dice with re roll? The FAQ shows nothing on him. Matter of fact the two FAQ that I looked at just seems links the date was changed.

Right. The whole 2d6 thing slipped my mind. Since the original intent with GT was to allow orks using the waaagh! to automatically make their full assault move, I would think that automatically granting your units a charge of 12" would be appropriate.

On the other hand, however, I can see where people will disagree. In GT's profile, it states that all units under his waaagh! count as rolling 6's for their movement, but does not specify the number of dice. You could argue that it means a 6 on each die, whereas your opponent could argue that the sum of both dice should equal six.

I think the overall intent of it though is to have a 12" charge.

What do the "Shrouding" and "Stealth" special rules do?

Does being in a Fast or Open Topped vehicle impact your shooting at all as a passenger?

And the rules for firing from a vehicle as a passenger is:
No move: fire at full range and BS regardless of weapon
0-6" move: fire at full range for Rapid Fire and Assault Weapons at BS, Heavies at BS1
6"+ move: No shooting at all

Is that correct?

Nagashek wrote:What do the "Shrouding" and "Stealth" special rules do?

Shrouding is a +2 to cover, and Stealth is a +1 to cover. They also stack. It also states you get these even out in the open. So Shrouded models always have at least 5+ Cover. Stealth a 6+ and if they stack its a whopping 4+ out in the open.

[Edit: Accidentally skipped this. Sorry]
Open top is the same for shooting except any point on the hull is counted as a fire point.
Fast looks to be the same as a regular vehicle for the passengers.

And the rules for firing from a vehicle as a passenger is:
No move: fire at full range and BS regardless of weapon
0-6" move: fire at full range for Rapid Fire and Assault Weapons at BS, Heavies at BS1
6"+ move: No shooting at all

Is that correct?

1. True
2. True
3. Snap Fire only.

What can shoot at plains from eldar army?

bieren wrote:What can shoot at plains from eldar army?

The only model in the game with Skyfire IIRC is the Hydra flak cannon in the IG. No other army has it, despite many tanks/weapon systems being described as having that role in mind as a design trait in the fluff.

Do Blast Pistols or Splinter Pistols have an AP value in CC?

And the Quad guns and Icarus weapons can

Will eldar get à plain. Think its gonne be hard to kill plains in this edetion.

Do allies fill up the mandatory slots?

Does the force organization chart actually double at 2000 points (Friend with the book was trying to tell me that it doesn't actually come out and say it, only suggested you could ~try~ and take another detachment)

Edit: Never mind. It got found.

I don't know if this thread is for lore questions, but are Tau and the Ultramarines allied now?

I saw someone mention two abilities monsterous creatures have, what do those abilities do?
