Before more people enter the thread and find justification in attacking Gwar because of his stance on playing by RAW and how he views the GW FAQs, I'd advise you to re-read the description on the GW website explaining the difference between an Errata and their FAQs.

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat410004&categoryId=1000018§ion=&aId=3400019

Some excerpts:

"The Errata have the same level of 'authority' as the main rules, as they effectively modify the published material. They are 'hard' material."

"The FAQs on the other hand are very much 'soft' material. They deal with more of a grey area, where often there is no right or wrong answer - in a way, they are our own 'Studio House Rules'. However, if you disagree with some answers and prefer to change them in your games and make your own house rules with your friends, that's fine. In other words, you might prefer to skip the FAQs altogether and instead always apply the good old 'roll a dice' rule whenever you meet a problematic situation"

So I can perfectly understand GWAR's frustration when they write a FAQ"soft material" that counters their published material"RAW/hard material".

Let it go hamsterwheel. Nobody will ever agree to disagree on 'You don't make the call, I do!'.

Too bad Kryptman didn't get the FAQ when he was busy with the Tyranid, he could have probably warned the Imperium faster if he had just known he could have stuck his psykers in a Rhino to avoid the Shadow.

I declare this to be funny!

Having read Gwar's FAQ on both the Nids and the Blood Angels, having followed the mind blowing lack of common sense on the threads here, and having seen a slavish devotion to 'rules as written' and not 'rules as makes each and every portion of the game functional, cohesive, and "fun"' I can honestly say that previous posters here are correct.

These two FAQs are a not-so-subtle rebuke to Gwar&Co's method of simplistic RAW interpretation. It would seem the creators of the game want you to know that 'Hey, we play the game and it works. What the hell have you guys been doing?"

Also, I think we need a bit of a reform on YTMC. Less RAW more functionality.

Edit. Closed this thread due to multiple reports.

I have but one more duty to perform:
