Ok a quick question i am hoping some one can help. Where abouts do you find out if any units in your army have new special rules applied to them because if the new 6th edition rule book

For example. Do any necron units have the sky fire special rule and if so where do you find out. Help would be much appreciated

Other flyers have had skyfire added to them, no other units have.

Certain models gain special rules from their unit type (jetbike, Flyer, etc). Those can be found in the BRB under their respectve type.

If a model is given a special rule it can be found in the FAQs located here.

Check the FAQs and iit will tell you what units if any have skyfire.

I will probably be prove wrong but units have not had "new" rules given to them just new versions of old rules they had. any changes are in the appendix section of the 6th ed rule book or in the official FAQ's. apart from the necron flyers i dont beleive any units have skyfire.

edit - typo

Jetbikes have skyfire? since when?

Never said they did. OP asked where it says if a model has any new special rules, and used skyfiire as an example. Per the BRB/FAQ jetbikes have a couple of new special rules.

No but they do have other rules. he didn't say they gained skyfire.

Thanks thats cleared it up. It was just i read some where that havocs and devestators had the option to add the skyfire special rule at a price so thought maybe other armys might have a similar thing

New codices for 6th edition come with 6th edition options.

So Chaos Havocs and Dark Angel Devastators have the option to purchase Flak missiles which have the skyfire rule.

Other armies just have to suck it up till either they get a WD update or GW release their codex under 6th edition.

So necrons have a while to wait then. Saving grace is just hit it with 2 squads of warriors with gauss weapons. play the numbers game. Get as many 6 as you can to hit and then auto glance on 6's. Strip the hull points

You might have the old codex , because necrons have the best anti-air now. 100 points for atrasport with 4TL s7 shots flier, that is one of the best units in the game.

This (other then maybe vendettas, actually no still this since TL and 6's get an additional 2 hits...

Only dexes with skyfire on non flyers (without FW) are IG, Chaos, and DA.
Chaos and DA only have flakk missiles and IG only have Hydras.
There is always the ADL with a gun though.

i have the new codex are you talking about the night scythe. I dont have one at the minute. I am planning on getting one though

Look at the flyers rules In te main rule book. A zooming flyer can elect to fire it's weapons using the skyfire rule.

Aside from Flyers, nothing in the old codices(except Hydras) will have Skyfire.

Skyfire is rare at the moment.

Skyfire is flyer based rule, in addition to a weapon based rule. The weapon will say it has skyfire.

Close. Flyers have the option, for being a flyer, to use the Skyfire special rule at the beginning of the Shooting phase. Which if done would mean any shots taken at something thats not a Flyer, Skimmer, or a Jetbike would be a Snap Shot that turn(important for Stormravens that have PotMS)

Then, something can have the Skyfire special rule naturally. If its a weapon, shots made with that weapon, and that weapon only, have the Skyfire rule. If its a model, all shots the model makes with any weapon have the Skyfire rule.

You can toss a 3 on mysterious objective and the unit close to it can choose when to use skyfire or normal shooting.

Sort of, the unit actually has to be holding the objective to get the benifit. So only a scoring unit.

Correction, A unit that controls the objective can choose to use skyfire or normal shooting.

Not just "the unit close to it" you have to control it to make use of it.
