Now this is how GW should update their stuff.

Interesting though how they didn't give the Hydra Flakk platform skyfire.

EDIT: Spoke way too soon. They gave the Hydra Autocannon both skyfire and interceptor in the Weapons section.

By leaving all the rules to Forgeworld to do?

That would be a start

Seriously though, I mean this sort of update progress. Making a free pdf that works out all the kinks and brings all the codices up to date is a much better system than whatever GW is doing. The erratas tend to be a bit sloppy imo.

My dkok counts as army is now illegal due to lack of death rider ccs..grr.

I'd just like to point out that if you read that death rider platoon entry you'll find you are wrong

Yep. The Death Rider CS is right under the Death Rider Platoon entry, on page 19 of the PDF.

Gah, reading comprehension fail

There wasn't a CS needed before? So forge world also adds / changes things to the army in their free PDF?

And that makes it "useless" and "detrimental"? Wow. I'm not sure I have words for that.

From the wiki:

When the Hades is used in a military role it is usually during a prolonged siege, where it serves as a breaching drill that can break into a bunker or through the wall of an enemy fortification.

I don't see how S8 AP1 Melta could fail to destroy a vehicle or structure. Unless you roll very badly.
The auto mishap when you fail to destroy a building or vehicle is silly though. You should be allowed to deploy the engineers so they can have a go at the vehicle / building.
