new FAQ covers a few rules questions I've seen on here.

Pykers in transports can they use powers. YES

Do they need a fire point if they don't need line of sight NO

Can they fire at a different target than the transport. YES

Bikes scout move can you turbo YES

and many more

Does this mean a libby can use infinity gate to deep strike himself and a unit of termies riding in their dedicated transport land raider, which then disgorges the whole mess into combat?

I suppose you could deep strike out of the land raider, but you'd have to find the text which allows you to take the transport with you...

Does this resolve the whole black templar's righteous zeal issue as well? Since the unit has to not be pinned to be eligible and the FAQ says

Q. If I find a reference to a unit that is ‘pinned’, does it mean a unit that has gone to ground?
A. Yes, ‘pinned’ is simply a short way of saying gone to ground by failing a pinning test’.

Also I'm glad to see this, I still remember trying to explain it to people and how adament they were that it was the other way around.

Q. Can a unit with the Fleet special rule assault after disembarking from a transport?
A. No, it cannot. The Fleet rule simply removes the prohibition of assaulting after running.

That is kind of broken that you can scout move turbo boost. I mean that kind of makes Scout Bike squads incredibly useful.

It's a pretty nice way to get that Locator Beacon into position for your first wave of Drop Pods, no doubt.

Trying to stay more than 12" away from the enemy during your whole move would make it rather difficult, though.

Hurr!

I am now finally happy about one thing. They did adress the one thing I thought they need to.

in the FAQ it now says you can not fleet after getting out of transports.

I did see it both ways, but now it has been settled.

To be clear, you cannot Assault with Fleet after disembarking.

man that leaves some broken situations when marines go first.

scout bikers have both infiltrate and scout

so after your opponent reacts to your initial deployment, you can set up your scout bikers within 24" of them even out in the open

then take your turbo boost, putting you just outside of 12" from them.

if they don't steal, 1/2 your drop pods can come in right there without scattering

seems kinda brutal to me

Freaking Eerie! Someone just revived an old thread today and got my hopes up over a FAQ. And now..here it is.

Q. Can a unit with the Fleet special rule assault after disembarking from a transport?
A. No, it cannot. The Fleet rule simply removes the prohibition of assaulting after running.

Yet one more DE tactic completely removed from their army. Wait a minute, I have open-topped raiders...

This obviously doesn't apply to open-topped transports. I can only guess it's addressing people trying to use fleet of foot to get an assault in from a non-open topped vehicle on disembarking. So yeah, DE can still disembark, fleet and assault.

There's also way less in that FAQ than I wanted to see

So I checked out the FAQ.....

Apparently the Inquisition has decided that we do not have clearance to read page two...since the cover page doesn't have a page number, the 'second' page has page number 3 on it, and the 'third' page has the page number of 4 on it.

Where is my page 2, it might want to read it...

heh, I saw that...business as usual for GW.

A few of the FAQs have that little issue. I just chalk it up to general GW Cut-n-Paste errors.

Page 2 contains the answers to all those frequently asked questions not covered in the FAQ pages 1, 3 and 4.

Boss Ardnutz wrote:Page 2 contains the answers to all those frequently asked questions not covered in the FAQ pages 1, 3 and 4.

But of course, page 1 ends with a movement question, page 3 starts with a morale question then goes into vehicles...if its following the rule book, we missed out on shooting and assaults, which may not be an integral part of the game, but comes up from time to time.

I didn't mean to kill the thread with my sarcasm, but really can GW tell me with a straight face that there were absolutely no questions about the Shooting or Assaulting phase? I honestly think its missing a page by some error, not that they didn't get any, or didn't answer any.

Guy, ALL of the FAQ's have an initial page with no page number and the subsequent page as number '3'. GW probably just has some funky cover sheet or something to which they didn't bother subjecting everyone.

I tried to make a RAW joke about there not being any page 2's, but I couldn't make anything work. :(

Well the is a RAW there is no page 2 but, it was on page 2... It probably would not have been helpful anyways they would have to have tiny print to fit all the answers on and then it be hard to read.

But still, there weren't any frequent questions that could have been answered for Shooting or Assaulting at all, unless it dealt with vehicles?

That is 4th, in 5th this should read "disembark, run and assault using fleet". I have to point this out to Ork players all the time, wanting to make like 3 Waaaagh! moves in the same frakkin' turn! Like having the Boss shout at you gives you warp engines or something!

That's because the ork codex refer to the former fleet move as a waaagh! move, not a run or fleet move. Ie Ghazghkull gives the ability to "rolling a 6 for the Waaagh! movement", not the run (or former fleet) move. The rules for waaagh! were not very well written even for 4th edition and it only got worse when 5th came with the change of meaning for fleet. So don't blame the ork gamers, blame Phil Kelly.

As long as I still have the same capability, you can call it whatever you like ;P

It's different paths/terminology for the same destination. Your DE remain fast and killy, just like you like them!
