.. get readin' folks !

Page 49 – Fateweaver, Oracle of Eternity.
Change the first sentence to read “Because of the incredible
prescience of the Oracle of Tzeentch, Fateweaver and all
friendly units chosen from Codex: Chaos Daemons within 6" reroll all failed Armour, Invulnerable and Cover saves.”

ooohhh,,,,,

CHAOS SPACE MARINE DAEMON PRINCES ARE FLYING MONSTROUS CREATURES!

Q: If mindshackle scarabs are used against a model with a force
weapon or a weapon which allows the wielder to inflict Instant Death
with a successful Leadership test, can the Necron player force the enemy
model to utilise this ability? (p81)
A: Yes.

*shock*

Q: Is there any way to embark back onto a Night Scythe?
A: Yes – follow the rules for Embarking on page 78, treating
the Night Scythe’s base as its Access Point. Note that this is
possible despite the Night Scythe being a Zooming Flyer.

hooray !

**H.B.M.C.**

And that may change in two weeks time. You never know!

Dark Eldar - Page 42 – Shadowseers, Veil of Tears.
Replace the last three sentences with the following: “The
Shadowseer, and all models in her unit, have the Stealth and
Shrouded special rules.”

Great catch, reds8n!

**SagesStone**

Q: If Chaos Daemons are allied to Chaos Space Marines, do they roll
for scatter if Deep Striking within 6" of a Chaos Icon carried by a
Chaos Space Marine model? (p73)
A: If the wording on the Chaos Icon’s description refers to ‘all
friendly units’, then yes. If not, then the Chaos Icon only
affects the specific units referred to in its description.

More or less.

Rest is good, though I think that part will probably have to be FAQed still.

Woohoo! My Commissars won't execute my Librarians who attach to my blob squads!

Boyz, a Wolf Guard leading Grey Hunters) have the unit type
Infantry (Character).

This is crazy, they just massively reduced the usefulness of Look out Sir....

This one just makes it easier for people who cant' read to understand:

Page 16 – Shooting Phase, Look Out, Sir
Delete “(or unsaved Wounds)” from the first paragraph.

This is the one that makes look out sir less useful:

Page 16 – Shooting Phase, Look Out, Sir
Change the second sentence of the second bullet point to:
“Determine which model in the unit is closest to the character,
and resolve the Wound against that model instead.”

And flying Nid MC's are dead....Oh well, fun while it lasted

Page 426 – The Game Summary, Transport Vehicles and Their
Passengers, Explodes (Other Effects).
Change the entry to read “The unit takes a number of Strength
4 AP – hits equal to the number of models in the unit.
Surviving passengers are placed where the vehicle used to be
and must take a Pinning test.”

No more disembark from the summary for Explodes.

Here ends the Signum debate:

Q: Can the BS1 of a Snap Shot ever be modified by special rules that
modify the BS of a model’s Shooting attack (such as Tau markerlights,
Space Marine Signums or Sergeant Telion’s Voice of Experience)? (p13)
A: No.

**reds8n**

Q: Does the Tempest’s Wrath psychic power affect Flyers? (p37)
A: No.

**pretre**

Q: How do maelstroms, novas and beams – or indeed any weapon
that doesn’t need to roll To Hit or hits automatically – interact with
Zooming Flyers and Gliding Flying Monstrous Creatures? (p13)
A: Only Snap Shots can hit Zooming Flyers and Gliding
Flying Monstrous Creatures. Therefore, any attacks that use
blast markers, templates, create a line of/area of effect or
otherwise don’t roll to hit cannot target them. This includes
weapons such as the Necron Doom Scythe’s death ray or the
Deathstrike missile of the Imperial Guard, and psychic
powers that follow the rule for maelstroms, beams, and
novas.

Doesn't removing 'Character' from Paladins/Wolf Guard/Nobz Mobs make things a bit more realistic, rather than all of these squad members falling over one another to save each other's lives?

We knew that though. It doesn't say Flyers on it. Did they rule on Njal's stuff?

Yes, it was silly and we knew it would be FAQ'd.

Q: Does a model with an Unwieldy weapon Pile In at its normal
Initiative step and then fight at Initiative step 1? (p22/23)
A: No – it Piles In and fights at Initiative step 1.

Q: Can blast markers hit a model that is not in the attacker’s line of
sight if they do NOT scatter? (p33)
A: Yes, as long as the target enemy model for the blast
weapon is within the firer’s line of sight.

This is surprisingly comprehensive.

**H.B.M.C.**

I will note that the starter set rules for Chosen lists them as 'Characters'. With any luck this error won't be in the upcoming Chaos Codex requiring more FAQ'ing.

**quickfuze**

Thats a poorly written FAQ on MSS. Reason being that the new rules dont simply require a LD test, they require the expenditure of a warp token and then a test. So now the way its written, even if you have no warp tokens left, Necron players will be arguing that MSS can do it without the the need for the token because the faq doesnt say they have to spend a token. My argument would be that since models are required to spend the token, and no model simply makes a LD test (sans GK which may be their only exception), that MSS cannot activate Force weapons on anyone...like I said...poorly written FAQ to MSS...

Q: If passengers disembark from a Transport that has suffered a
Shaken or Stunned result, do they still suffer these effects in their
next Shooting phase? (p80)
A: Yes.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Q: If a unit disembarks from a destroyed vehicle during the enemy
turn, can it Charge in the Assault phase of its own turn? (p80)
A: No, unless the vehicle in question was an Assault Vehicle.

**Hulksmash**

It looks pretty good so far, though I'm only on page 2 of the Rulebook FAQ

**H.B.M.C.**

So it's easier to assault from a Land Raider that's exploding than a Rhino that's exploding. I guess that makes sense***.

***Note: Does not actually make sense.

Q: Can you deploy the Aegis Defence Line sections in two or more
groups of two or more sections apiece (this way, they will still be in
base contact with at least one other section)? (p114)
A: No – the Aegis defence line sections must be deployed in
an unbroken chain, though they can be connected end-toend
such as in the example shown on page 114.

True, hadn't thought of it that way.

Yah, but it was funny to imagine.

Also:
Q: Does a model that uses the Wings of Sanguinius to charge an enemy
unit in the Assault phase gain the Hammer of Wrath special rule?
p(63)
A: Yes.

Oh snap! They make it sound like it is player turn for the tabling thing:

Q: If you leave combat airspace with all of your Flyers and have no
other models on the gaming board at the beginning of your
opponent's turn, do you automatically lose the game? (p122)
A: Yes.

Q: If all of my units are either Flyers or embarked upon Flyers, will I
automatically lose the game as there are none of my models on the
gaming board at the end of Turn 1? (p122)
A: Yes.

Q: Do units that are transported in a vehicle that MUST start in
reserve count towards the number of units that can be placed in
Reserves? For example, must I count the units in a Drop Pod or
Valkyrie towards the 50% of units I can place in Reserves? (p124)
A: No.

Q: Which missile launchers have access to flakk missiles? (p57/415)
A: Only those that specifically have an option to take them as
an upgrade in their army list.

DE Incubi weapons are now AP2 as are Huskblades.
