Homer S wrote:Along those same lines, does the Blood Champion lose his BP and grenades? Does that mean if when charging he goes across cover he is I1? and does not have +1A from 2 CCWs?

Homer

No. The whole unit has the Wargear listed. One Honour Guard can be Upgraded and will get the wargear specified. Nothing says he loses his original Wargear, so he doesn't.

Also, Sorry for the fast update, but v1.7 is up for download

Ok, i skimmed through the pages on here and didnt see it, but with the stormraven disembarking the faq states they must be clear of enemy units and within 2 inches of the base, but with emergancy disembark, dont they have to get out within 2 in of the hull, plus all the other rules pertaining?

The thing is, if it is on a Valkyrie Base, the "Hull" will be a good 5" in the air.

So could they get 2" from hull and take another dangerous ter test for the fall (like jumping off a high ledge)?

Unless there is elevated terrain for them to disembark into, then it is impossible for them to be within 2" of the Hull...

And if there is terrain, you would use the Emergency Disembark rules just fine.

True nuff. Gotta remember to fly close to buildings and cliffs

Typical. I finally think "Oh, yay the FAQ is finished" then something else pops up.

Unlike every other Sergeant, an Assault Squad Sergeant does not say he can replace his Bolt pistol and/or his Chainsword, it says "can replace his Bolt Pistol/Chainsword"!
So, since I know for a fact someone will get caught out by this, I'll stick that into the FAQ on Monday or if I get enough questions to make a new version worthwhile, whatever comes first!

Does this last bit mean he can only swap one of them or does it just remove the goofy case of replacing both with one of the choices?

Homer

Homer

Yeah, you are right! I thought about it a little more and all it does is mean the Sergeant cannot replace both weapons for a single weapon, but he can still replace voth weapons for 2 new ones or 1 weapon for 1 new one.

In any case, I've added it to my local copy and will Update it, as I said, on Monday

Good job overall so far.

@Gwar

I would be interested to hear your take on how the Jammer on Vanilla Marines' Land Speeder Storms would affect Descent of Angels.

<GW Attack Panda>They scatter the number of dice listed in the SM Codex, Minus the number dice specified in the BA Codex</GW Attack Panda>

But in all seriousness, DoA staes you scatter one D6" less, and even points out that it is NORMALLY (not ALWAYS) D6" instead of 2D6".

So yeah, they will scatter 3D6", as they Scatter the Distance the Jammer Tells you minus D6".

Thanks for the Questions and I shall add in a Generalized (as in, not specifically about the Jammer, but about any potential rule that changes the scatter amount) to 1.8, out Monday!

Here's an odd question.

When a Furioso Librarian suffers perils of the warp and gets a weapon destroyed result from the glancing hit, who chooses the weapon that gets destroyed?

The BA player did the damage, so I'd say him.

Great job so far Gwar... a non rules question here. It seems like some folks were upset that your last FAQ was used by GW.

Would you not prefer that they do use it? ...it would make it all "official" and validate all of your efforts - especially for those who only except GW rules; and basically anyone who is at the short end of a questionable rule that is gonna hurt them haha.

In the Options for a Furioso Dred it says in the Codex "Exchange all wargear for a blood fist, smoke launchers, psychic hood and force weapon". for 50 points. Do you think you can then go back to the options and exchange the any of his wargear for the costs listed?
e.g. add a magna grapple or replace the blood fist with a frag cannon. Sorry if you answered this, I had a look in your FAQ and could not see it listed in the Drednought section. Thanks.

The rulebook says "One of the vehicle's weapons (chosen by the attacker) is destroyed". If it had said Opponent, we would be in for a world of Silly. As it is, the BA Player did the Damage (though no fault of their own, but they still did it), so they would be the "attacker" and get to choose.

Consider it added

It's not the fact that they used it. It's the fact that they used SOME of it, then widdled all over clear RaW with the other half, while not even giving me a cursory email or single mention. All they would have had to do is email me saying "Yo, like your work, we can't credit you for xyz reason, but just letting you know we are using it." Instead I got a email from their Legal Department with a thinly veiled Legal threat.

No worries. You did miss it however

BA.85.01 – Q: Can a Furioso Librarian purchase weapons and wargear from the options list?
A: Yes. These may be Purchased “after” the Upgrade to a Furioso Librarian. The only option unavailable is the Blood Talon option,
as you no longer have the wargear to exchange for them. [Clarification]
• It can, however, be interpreted that you lose any purchased wargear and may not purchase them at all.

Thanks for that, now I can get on and try to model the upgrades.

Well, as promised, v1.8 is available for download!

Can brother corbulo use a re-roll on die that slays him of his last wound.?

Example.. Corbulo has 1 wound remaining.. he is hit with a bolter, and fails his save, he then miserably fails his FNP save. I say im going to use the eye, my opponent says no, he's already dead, and it can't be used..

What say you. ??

That is a very good Question.

I personally would let him use it, because let's face it, if he is in that position, he is having awful luck.

As for the rules, I honestly do not know. You can argue it strongly either way.

I think under re-rolls page 2. it would allow him the reroll before his death. Ill try to garner another one to stump ya on Gwar...

As long as it can still be rerolled the wound isn't resolved, so I'd say he's not quite dead.

Hey, Gwar!

I'm a noob getting back into the game after 12 years and I need to see what i'm up against. All I own is the rule book and a couple dex's.

Based on my knowledge, this ruling bothers me.... can you explain why it's 5 inches in the air? It's classified as a fast/skimmer and i'm under the impression Skimmer's aren't considered 5 inches in the air, if it was 5 inches in the air I kinda doubt you could assault it??

You can't argue its the base the model came with, cause there is no model... so... why's it 5 inches in the air again?

It is 5 inches in the air because I have based my answers off the IG Valkyrie base, which the GW Stormraven is 99.9978512% Likey to come on:


You are able to assault it however, as the rules for skimmers say you may assault a skimmers base.

Sorry if I've missed it, but couldn't find it last time I checked.

Can Standard Predators take both the Stormbolter and HK Missle and pay 10 points total, not 10 points per item, as opposed to every other vehicle in the Codex?
Also, Scout bikers - Is the upgrade to Grenade Launchers 10 points for the whole unit as opposed to +10 points per model for each Launcher you equip?

Very nice catch.

It seems that you can indeed interpret it that way. I'll add these to the next version. Just waiting for it to be worthwhile to update it.

airmang wrote:thanks! there was some question about it because it only references the one page of dedicated transports.

Yeah, I see that now I suspect it refers to the first page as it spreads over 2 pages, but the rule is very clear, it says ANY, not "Any of the three on page 90" I'll stick this into 1.3 for sure.

so that means that a terminator squad can take a rhino or razorback just for fun or even take it and have some other unit use it as it say "any" but states "see page 91" I think that means terminators can take landraiders and everything else can take rhinos razorbacks and drop pods. Also depending on the rules you might be able to put the terminators in the rhino. I know that in most cases the codex states that terminators can not ride in a rhino but I don't recall seeing that rule in the codex and do not have it in front of me at the moment to check.

Bah, Dakka Ate my Post! :(

But no, it says they can take any Land Raider, while the others say Any Dedicated Transport. If it were only meant to be a Rhino, Razorback and Drop Pod, it would have said so.

Sorry missed *inserts foot in mouth*.
