*bursts though room with axe* HEEEAAARRRS JHONNY!!!

Ok so I have looked around on the interwebs but I cannot find them, could someone send me a link of the most current rules, so I can see what they are about please?

Also What is everyone's opinion on them? I would like to see them to give judgement but I was wondering on what everyone is thinking about them?

Cheers to all comments

That looks to be a 2013 version (i.e., 6e).

The only thing that jumps out at me that I disagree with is the multiple psykers in a unit casting the same spell. I think that if that is what GW really intended there would have been something more explicit (ie, a section on 'units with multiple psykers') rather than something which can be interpreted as affecting only the caster.
I also don't agree with the 'psykers can only cast their mastery level in number of spells', but I know that is even more contentious.
Regardless of the way they rule, it is far better to have a ruling available than to not have one at all.

Oh, and the independent characters conferring infiltrate to units, I think that is a completely wrong interpretation of the rules.

the things that are bad in the rulings-

multiple instances of same malediction stack if cast by another model. Obviously malediction=malediction there is no such thing as bobs enfeeble and joes enfeeble the unit either has enfeeble on it or it doesn't. bad ruling.

IC without infiltrate can join infiltrators and they can all infiltrate together- this actually goes specifically against a BRB RAW rule. No idea why it was made.

Other than that I like all the other rulings and really appreciate the time it took people to put it together as it streamlines a lot of the areas of play that people could find potentially "Arguable" to make for a better overall gaming experience.

I really disagree with the blatant rule change to Infiltrate and ICs. Deployment rules mak it clearly impossible.

A couple of others are questionable, but overall it's solid.
