So, I've hunted through the 'dex, the FAQ, and the new rulebook, and can't find what I'm looking for in this crazy new world of 6th. And I don't even have a Daemon army, but the inner nerd is screaming (pun intended) for an answer to this.

Where can I find the rules for slashing attacks? They don't seem to be listed in the Jetbike section of the 6th rulebook. And I'm sure I saw reference in a recent battle report to screamers having 2W, which I can't find listed anywhere either. I'm pretty sure I've got the 5th ed Daemons dex, but I... still haven't found what I'm looking for. (die Bono die)

Could someone please enlighten me as to a: slashing attacks and b: why screamers are so awesome now.

Regards,

Not sure on the specifics of the rules but i know they got a WD update that made them and a few other units real gems now.

a: Screamers can now make D3 slashing attacks on a unit that they turboboost over, similar to DE jetbikes.

b:They are awesome now as not only are they fast, their CC attacks are S5 AP2 with 3 attacks base. 2 Wounds makes them more durable aswell. There is also Armourbane for dealing with vehicles. One of the Daemons best units now.

Yeah, all the stuff your looking for is in a white dwarf about 1-2 months old now. Had an official update leaflet in there. Screamers now don't get a 4++ save either but do get 2 wounds. And the slash attack is just awesome when you have a unit of 9 inflicting 27 str 4 auto hits!

Thanks guys. I hope that comes out as a PDF soon...
