Hey folks!

I was able to view an advanced copy of the rules, and I spotted a potential issue. I just want to make sure that I understand this correct so that hopefully GW does an early FAQ on the subject.

Specifically, this has to do with our dear old buddy Kharne, Kharne the Betrayer, Kharne the "how do I hit invisible units?", Kharne the "haha, I hit them on 2+ always". Well, as usual, Kharne's got a new issue, and again it's this same type of rules. As is always the case, Kharne is hitting his friends on a natural roll of 1, however the rule says that he inflicts the wound on a friendly unit within range. In the main rule pages, it does state that any models with "aura" effects always count themselves as being in their own aura, unless stated otherwise. Unfortunately for Kharne, he is within his own aura (edit: and it does not state otherwise). The rules for his ability also state that if no units are within range, the natural-1 roll does nothing, but he will always be within range of himself, so this rule makes no sense.

Can anyone else confirm then that this should be FAQ'd that Kharne is not an eligible unit to assign this wound to? Or do you feel that he SHOULD be slicing his own throat for the blood god?

Or they just meant that he gets so angry that - if no other target presents itself - he'll chop his own limbs off? ;-]

He can do that in a team suicide battle with Abbadon - who can roll the enough 1s to off themselves!

I gotta give that to Kharne! It's any 1's to hit for Kharne, but for Abbadon it'll only be the one roll that needs to be a 1. Makes some thematic sense in that there are reports of Khorne Bezerkers slicing their own throats after everyone else is dead, but considering Kharne has yet to do that in the 10,000 years he's been kicking it, I feel that perhaps there's a reason to that.
