Hi guys,

I might pick up one or two of the new Seeker Chariots. But there are some things unclear to me, maybe someone can help me.

First it says in the 6th rulebook that a rider of a chariot can recieve blows in close combat, the crew cannot. But when is a model a rider (or crew) of a chariot? Is it if you buy the chariot for a herald, or is the Alluress (which comes with the chariot) also a rider (and not part of the crew)?

Second It says in the 6th rulebook that a chariot itself cannot strike blows in close combat. But a little bit lower it says "The chariot itself has the Hammer of Wrath special rule" which is explaned as making a additional attack. As the chariot itself has no attacks to begin with, can it still make this attack if the rider is dead? And if so, at what WS?

Third If i buy the Seeker Chariot for a herald does the herald get the profile of a Chariot of Slaanesh?

Fourth In the rules update under "Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh" (page 2) it says; "Seeker Chariot/Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh: Daemon, Fleet, Fleshshedder. But on page 6, with the piont cost, It doesn't say Fleet at the special rules. Does the Exalted Seeker Chariot has fleet or not?

Fifth It says in the rules update that an Exalted Alluress cannot disembark form a chariot. It doesn't say that if you buy the chariot for a herald, the herald cannot disembark. Is this another mistake, or can a harald indeed disembark form a chariot? If so does it keep the profile (third question)?

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

The alluress is the rider, as she can make attacks in CC.

Hammer of Wrath - i suggest you read the BRB, where HoW automatically hits.

No, you get a Seeker Chariot. There is debate over whether you still get the chariot of slaanesh old profile upgrade available as a different "mount" option any longer.

No Fleet if it doesnt have Fleet listed in its profile

The Herald can disembark, as the restriction is only on the alluress. It has the stats of a Herald, as the Chariot of Slaanesh, IF available, is a separate upgrade

The question about the old chariot will be anwsered when the ipad version of the codex with the update comes out...

Since the Codex has the discrepancy and this is the only other metion of it I'm compelled to say it has fleet.
