They gain 2 attacks because that is what the rules actually say.

There is no actual argument against it.

For the price at 5 points a model (same as daemonhammer) but only gives 1+ attack? That would never be worth it. Also the fact that the army is an elite army, it's not that unthinkable when you're paying 29 points a model for a Space Marine with a psychic power, power weapons and storm bolter, that they can gain 2+ attacks.

This was answered by a GW rep in a mailed in semi faq already on dakka.

While the answer in the mail is correct, it shouldn't be taken as official information, as customer support mails are notoriously unreliable.

Can spore mines that are deepstruck in that "after deployment is set but before any models are deployed" phase destroy servo skulls before they have any impact on things like infiltrators/scouts?

How do you determine who would place first in that grey undefined time of before regular deployment?

4+ it, same as you do for infiltrators, and yes of course they can be destroyed - the conditions for them being destroyed has been fulfilled

I play Nids he plays Grey knights: I have a question: If they suffer a psycic misshapp, it resolves as a glancing hit yeah? Does it kick in before or after the fortitude resolves?

I am just wondering as glancing would then suck for the tyranids as he could quite easaly pull of the psycic power and nulefy it.

Could somebody please enlighten me? :-)

Anval Thawn, when resurrected forms a separate unit, doe he still count as a scoring unit?

O come on.


he's still a troops unit that isn't a vehicle.

thats fairly obvious.

AS GT says -that one is entirely obvious, cleqar and 100% no room for argument

Just making sure as a strategy I'm using for a League game could depend on it.

Anaval Thawn is Fearless but he is not a character that has joined a unit, does his fearless ability confer Fearlessness upon the squad of Terminator's he leads?

He comes back alive after he dies, so chances are he's fearless but before he dies he's not.

If Falchions really do give +2A (Which does seem right), 5 attack purifiers on the charge would be nasty. Librarian quicksilvers them.....

Yep. And without Crowe, they're not scoring unless you also take a GKGM.....

They really do give 2A. GW would have to explicitly change the rules of the game for them to NOT give +2A.

Not saying that would stop them, of course

When he's still with his original unit, the unit is still not fearless as such he is not fearless. However, after he dies and comes back from not yielding, he is no longer with his unit and is then fearless.

Another question though. What if while he's still with his unit they fall off the table due to falling back (unlikely but plausible). Does he come back or not with the yield.

I don't remember seeing this on this thread. There's nothing saying that a terminator can't embark in a Chimera is there? So you could load 6 Terminators in a Chimera for cheap transport?

yes, this exactly right. terminators are not allowed to embark upon a rhino or razorback. it says nothing about chimeras

He cannot come back on with Yield if his unit falls off the table.

And Terminators can't ride in chimeras.

Where does it say that?

...except they can.

FacelessMage wrote:And Terminators can't ride in chimeras.

Yes they can.

They are infantry, so can embark any vehicle unless specifically prohibited. There is no prohibition given in the chimera nor terminator entry.

If you disagree, page and paragraph please

I looked it up again.

I was wrong.

When can we expect the INAT Grey Knight FAQ to be published? Are there still unsettled issues?

Dok wrote:When can we expect the INAT Grey Knight FAQ to be published? Are there still unsettled issues?

Sorry about the delay folks!

The normal target for an INAT update is about a month and a half after a codex is released. Unfortunately with the Grey Knight codex, there are quite a few really wonky issues (for those who aren't aware), so it was taking a bit longer to get through than normal. Then we got word from a pretty good source that GW's official FAQ should be released within the next few weeks (hopefully!). So rather than spend all the time putting out an update that we'll then have to change again (to remove all the redundant rulings that will be taken care of with GW's FAQ) we figured we'd just hold off and wait until GW releases their FAQ and then we'll just put out the update covering any issues they don't address.

No worries Yak, Grats on your finish this weekend!

Is there a deadline in your mind for GW to publish the GK FAQ before you would put the INAT together and publish it? Say a month has gone by with no FAQ would you consider putting together a GK INAT?

Well, we're already way past when we normally put out the update, but I do have a pretty good indication that the GW FAQ is imminent.

With that said, one way or another we will have the INAT update out in time for WargamesCon, which is July 7th.

Is it weird that I read all of yakface's posts in Sean Connery's voice?

Yes they can.

They are infantry, so can embark any vehicle unless specifically prohibited.

Hmm, can infantry use an ally players transports?

If so can terminators use a falcon/devilfish?

i'd talk to your TO on that. doubles are a house rule anyways.
