Jaws and BL never needed to roll to hit the faq was just to silence all the haters

"The haters" were looking at similar powers and weapons to try and determine whether or not a "To Hit" roll was required.

Or, and here's the more likely explanation: you dont know what youre talking about.

Both required a roll to hit, according to the rules. GW changed the rules - like they did with Lash.

I understand the Jaws & Blood Lance bit. Both those weapons are 'templates', in that they just draw a line and hit everything on that hair-thin line. But lash... I'm dumbfounded there. I wasn't aware that rolling to hit was ever even debated.

As for Imotekh... what benefit is there to keep him in reserve, as opposed to just keeping him behind cover and out of LOS?

That is up to the player to decide. What may be generally more beneficial does not mean it is the only option.

Before he could stay in Reserves until Turn 5 or die Turn 1and your army could still get to roll for the Storm every turn. Now that the Storm roll is associated with him, does the FAQ mean he has to be on the Table at least by Turn 2 (I have NO idea how the timing on Reserves and rolling for the Storm work 'at the start of the turn' if he is coming from Reserves) and stay alive in order to utilise this ability? Or does this just mean that he has to be on the table in a unit with the chronometron Cryptek to get the re-roll?
