When they die horribly.

Ah, but if that were true then they wouldn't count towards the moral check for taking 25% casualties.

No, you're thinking of dying. I'm talking about dying horribly.

Just compiling the questions asked compared to what the SoB FAQ actually answered. Please feel free to work on answering the questions the GW FAQ did not and hopefully that the INAT will.

If you decide to buy more than one Penitent Engine for an FoC slot, can you buy one more, or do you always have to buy 2 more?SJ

Not answered.

Spetulhu wrote:St. Celestine - IC or not?

In WD380 pg 94 "Acts of Faith" she's mentioned as one of the ICs that, when joined to a unit, grant +1 on the roll. She's also listed with the IC rule on page 103 of the same WD.

In the army list (WD 381 pg 85) the IC rule isn't listed.

Answered.

Ray Age wrote:How many times can a unit attempt an act of faith?
Once per Faith Point.
Only one attempt per unit, per act.

Answered.

Evil Lamp 6 wrote:Assuming multiple of the same Act of Faith can be attempted by the same unit, will successes stack? For example, the Canoness' +1 I or the Celestians + 1 S.

Answered.

Evil Lamp 6 wrote:Seems obvious how most people would play it, but for completeness sake, how do SoB vehicles make use of their 6++ being that outside of Bjorn, GW hasn't provided rules for it?

Not answered.

Evil Lamp 6 wrote:What is the "correct" profile for Acro-flagellants being that they are listed as having two different profiles with pg 96 in Part 1 and page 87 in Part 2?

Answered.

Evil Lamp 6 wrote:How is a model that suffers an unsaved wound from Kyrinov's Mace of Valaan effected if they also have wargear, ect. that boosts the initiative of said model, ie a GK Paladin with Halberd that gives + 2 I?
When would units/models lose the bonuses from being within 6" of Kyrinov or belonging to a unit with Jacobus when those models die?
How large or small of a counter should one use to mark the spot for St. Celestine's Miraculous Inetervention? How would that interact if she died in/on impassable terrain? Would she still be able to be placed and if so where? Page 103 Part 1.
St. Celestine's Ardent Blade used to specify that it was fired as a flamer. The WD codex makes no such reference but just lists a shooting weapon profile, for Apocalypse games or similar that would allow for multiple detachments, would Vulkan He'Stan allow that to be rerolled and if so when?
Thought of another, Jacobus' Protector of the Faith Special Rule specifies while he is alive, not on the table. How does this work with keeping him in reserves given the difference in the rulings for the IG and Nid Codexes that had the same wording but were ruled two different ways?

Not Answered.

(Nvm already mentioned above, just missed it.)

Answered.

DevianID wrote:To echo other people, the main FAQ questions I saw:

Can faith be stacked? (ie cannoness and celestians mostly)

Can faith be attempted more than once on a unit in a phase with different acts of faith (such as a cannoness attached to celestians, has 2 faith powers, can they both be used.)

Can the SAME act of faith be attempted on a unit, regardless of whether the first one passed or failed?

Answered.

DevianID wrote:Some secondary questions:
When exactly do you test for the repentia's faith, at the start of the assault phase or at init 1 right before they swing. If it is at the repentia's initiative, is the 'death strike' applicable for models that died before the repentia's faith activated?

Can you use shield of faith on a vehicle for a 6++ Inv. save versus any damage? What about when being immobilized on dangerous terrain?

Not Answered.

paintedpotato wrote:(pg 94 WD part1) Given Celestine joins a squad and "dies", if she "resurrects" in the turn immediately following, is she still a part of the squad for purposes of modifiers, pinning and breaking as per the rules for independent characters joining or leaving a unit (pg 48 main rule book)? Or does she "act normally", whatever that means?

Where do you measure line of sight and measure range from on an exorcist tank?

Per the US printing, on page 91 of the WD part 2, can I include just an additional 1 Penitent Engine or do I always have to add two? I was told the French version had terminology to signify "up to".

Not answered.

paintedpotato wrote:Now that it is clarified that she is an IC, does she still count as being part of the squad when she resurrects? What if she does not resurrect immediately in the turn following?

For example:

If I have her attached to Repentia and she dies, when she gets back up 2 turns later when the squad is 24" away, does she still move only 6" and follows the rules for Rage? Same goes for pinning and fallback if attached to anything else.

Not answered.

Is the Exorcist Launcher no longer turret mounted like it was in the old FAQ?

**pretre**

It is, but the barrels point straight up so LOS doesn't work right.

pretre wrote:It is, but the barrels point straight up so LOS doesn't work right.

It's funny how the rules states we must assume it can pivot and rotate in order to point at the target its shooting at. Hard to imagine a pipe organ pointing in any direction other than up. I just draw TLOS from the tip of the barrel. Anyone who argues others wise, I remind them it's a @#$%ing pipe organ!

**pretre**

I didn't glue my organ pipes down so I can just tilt them horizontal if someone complains. Also makes it easier to transport.

**DevianID**

We always measured from the models eyes. What the model can see, the exo can shoot... no pivoting. I know its not RAW, but like SabrX points out...

Its a $%^@ing pipe organ!

The link does work!

And the answer in GW's FAQ is yes, Celestine is an IC.

**usmcmidn**

UGH why is it not working for me lol... O well... But thx.

The link works for me. Here's a screenshot of the bit about Celestine being an independent character:

Does that help?

**don_mondo**

I see the usmc at the beginning of your screen name, so I'm guessing you might be a Marine. If you're trying to access GWs site from a government computer, well, it's blocked. If not, then no reason it shouldn't work.

But to bypass the link, just go to the GW site, on the menu bar click on 'gaming' for the dropdown menu and the last item on the dropdown is the errata/FAQ page.
