8th Ed 40k has enticed me to play AoS - in the first game a couple of questions came up though.

Unit Coherency - I can only find reference to a unit having to stay as a 'group' which I took to mean base to base contact - but looking at battle reps it seems not to be the case, so is there a unit coherency distance I have missed?
Piling in - the FAQ says you can not pile in if in contact - does contact mean base to base or within your weapons range or other thing ?
Casualties - presume it is the same as 40k where defender picks models and attacker can't target specific models in the unit in firing or melee - is this right?

Absolutely loved the game though

Cheers in advance


EDIT - found out it is in the rules - just hidden in the warscroll call out box - 1" coherency, no pile in if in base to base and defender chooses - so all sorted

Looks like you found your answers, but just to clarify on the casualties question, there are certain abilities, and especially spells, that target models instead of units. Pay attention to the way abilities are worded ("pick an enemy unit" vs "pick an enemy model").
