Just played a game today against SM with raven guard tactics. The -1 to hit (unless you're within 12') was insanely good considering I rely on markerlights, who hit on a 5+ and thus make my entire shooting phase that much less efficient.

I had one issue though. My opponent claimed the wording of chapter tactics meant all his models- including his tanks etc- got the chapter tactics, which felt a little... silly. Is it true? Do chapter tactics affect the entire army? Because what I've seen shows chapter tactics affecting infantry and dreads.

If anyone has a source to an FAQ ruling on this I'd be grateful.

He's full of gak. It specifically spells out Infantry, Bikes, and Dreadnoughts.

Take his heart and eat it to gain his power.

Infantry, Bikes and Dreadnoughts only.

Your opponent was lying. Next time ask them to prove it by showing you their codex where it says it. The codex EXPLICITLY calls out what types get it. Tanks do not.

I'm going to be charitable enough to assume it was a mistake, since my opponent is kind of a n00b and I play against him semi-regularly and I've never known him to rules lawyer me or otherwise behave dubiously. But I'll be sure to ask to see his codex next time.
