Hey all! Looks like Gwar got all the threads locked this week so there was not much real discussion going on here at Dakka. I think it would be a great topic to discuss and I ask people not to throw tantrums in this thread about GW their FAQs & erratas.

Thanks.

OK, I'll start. For Games Workshop, a "Frequently Asked Question" is neither a question, nor frequently asked. Discuss.

Well I'm glad they sorted out the common Doom problems.

Yeah Doom was a really big one. I was surprised to see that the Furioso Librarian cannot extra armor.

I'm glad people were frequently asking whether you could put a Tyranid Prime in with Tyranid Warriors before you dropped them in a Mycetic Spore. Just the other day someone challenged me on that and I had no official ruling on it so I was totally lost without the loving hand of GW nerfing the **** out of an army.

It also makes me just positively thrilled to find out that Shadow in the Warp can cover entire solar systems but not bother something with a few inches of armor. Someone really should tell the Emperor it's that easy to get out of the warp, but only the bad stuff cause you can still use psychic powers from inside a vehicle.

Cause 40k really needed more reasons for everyone to mech up their entire army, and Tyranids really needed more weaknesses to vehicles right? Sounds like the perfect thing for the game.

Don't worry. In 6th Edition, vehicles will be utter crap, more akin to pinatas full of Marines and Orks than anything substantial.

Where exactly does it state that an independent character cannot join a unit in a mycetic spore? Thanks.

pg 2 of the FAQ, 3rd to last question...right before they disallow you dropping empty spores as well.

Most of the stuff they ruled pretty fair on, but the stuff they f-ed up was pretty rediculous imho.

There is already a thread here discussing the Tyranid FAQ. So to avoid duplication, I'm going to lock this one. If someone would like to start a thread on the BA FAQ without a personal attack in the first post, go right ahead.
