Highlights of new FAQs.

Main
- Rolling 1 on shooting and CC To Wound always Fails.
- Clarified if 1st rank is included in Steadfast.
- :( Changed the ruling that stopped Overrun for Crumble/Warmachines/Rats, etc. (stupid)
- No longer KB a character on Monster, Chariot, MC. Only HKB.
- Added General IP to the allowed to be used for spells like Spirit Leech and Mindrazer.


DoC:
- Units leadership can not be reduced below 0.
- Warpflame are not Flaming Attacks.

WoC:
- Hellcannons and Daemon Princes count as Daemons from the Lore of Light Lore.
- Warpflame are not Flaming Attacks.
- Mark of Khorne only works on the rider.

OnG: :(
- Hand of Gork spell must place a NG unit with fanatics must 1st place the 8" away to release the fanatics and then continue.
- HoG can not move a unit out of a building.

You forgot to mention that the Reign of Chaos rolls of 5, 6, 8, and 9 affect all enemy units, not just enemy units with a specific Daemon of... or Mark of... rule.

Honestly, the ruling on the RoC table is the only contentious issue they addressed for the DoC book. There are so many other issues that need to be addressed with the DoC Army Book that are still at issue that I'm pretty disappointed with the breadth of the FAQ.

Not really that contentious since it was clear which way they were going to rule it considering every version of the book not in English clarified that ALL enemy units were hit. They're just bringing the English version into line with the rest of the world.

If you ever visit Warseer or a couple of other sites, there are people contending the other language books proved it exactly the opposite way, even as recently as yesterday. So, I'm glad they made the ruling, especially since there were players in my local area that would only agree to play that it didn't affect their army.

Still, there are a bunch of things left that GW needs to address in the DoC book. I'm really disappointed that a month's time only led to them having seven items on the FAQ.

So warpflame is now even worse, also beastmen took a minor nerf with hagtree no longer functioning with lore of death

Guess that answers that?

Page 24 – Army Special Rules, Mark of Khorne.
Add the following line to the second paragraph: ‘In the case of
models with the cavalry, monstrous cavalry, chariot or monster
unit type, only the rider has the Extra Attack special rule.’

yeah, that was a BS call.

I deem this round of FAQ's as, "F-U Wood Elves".
High Elves are out in a week or two, so no FAQ for them.
EVERY other army got a FAQ update, except for wood elves.

I like that burning head and Gaze of Mork can be cast into combat. I'll see if I can get my mounted shaman in the spider rider unit to get a shot off down the flank.

Not thrilled with inspiring presence for Mindrazor.
If I hit a Skaven Bell with a blade or realities, it's destroyed because it doesn't have a leadership. If I spirit leech it, it's LD10.

Just stupid.

Though they got caught in that 'no KB for small things riding big things' ruling

The DOC FAQ is deeply disappointing, not because of the decisions (all I had come to expect at this point) but because of how stupidly few there are. GeeDub seem to hate to admit that new shiny hardbacks have issues to be attended to even upon release.

Wha. . . ?




Missed that.

Very little changed.

I'm frankly amazed that Doc 5689 affects all enemy units. I think that's a big deal. It really can hurt MSU enemies which is interesting. Can pwn the hell out of single unit redirectors and such.

Overrun rules changed, for crumble which I think makes sense. Why would they restrain or sit there?

Hah. Kholek suneater now has HA. 2+ armor save and T6 W8. Not bad.

One thing I am very happy with is the clarification to the Empire detachment rules.

Now, if the parent unit is either in combat (and steadfast), or not in combat at all then the detachments are steadfast.

Hello spearman conga lines!

Page 85 – Lords, Kholek Suneater.
Add thefollowing to Kholek Suneater’s unitentry:
‘Equipment:
Heavy armour’

YUSH! he became better! ;D

They gave his heavy armor back from the previous book.

Wich he needed

- Added General IP to the allowed to be used for spells like Spirit Leech and Mindrazer.

This seems a little broken to me, mainly the mindrazer part.

at least it works both ways now, that the victim can use IP too...

/e: misread.

No more autowounding, which I think is a dumb move. Now Flaming Sword isn't as good anymore

Well, not technically true. If something ROLLS to wound, it fails on a 1. If it truly auto wounds, then it auto wounds.

Flaming Sword really hasn't changed that much. This ruling only effects those few situations where you were already wounding on a 2+ and don't need the Flaming Attacks.

It's still just as good as always in the vast majority of cases where you need a 3 or worse to wound.
