Are you guys going to put up updated FAQs anytime soon? I still haven't seen a ruling on those Scythes, and this can be very critical information for those of us that are trying to get lists together.

The next update goes up Sunday. What's your specific question?

Someone earlier in the thread asked:

"B: Can a Necron Doomscythe's death ray, which marks a point (never specifying if that point can be on an enemy model or not) withing 12" of the gun fire at other flyers as well? nowhere in the FAQ or the codex does it state that it cannont, not does it say that the weapon is a "template" weapon anywhere either. All further information state that it's a 1mm wide beam and that the tesla destructor can then target one of the units under the line to fire at. "

This is a pretty crucial one.

It isn't a template weapon, nothing in its description makes, lists, or names it as one or even like one. I've been playing in mini tourneys where we just keep it in the limbo where it effects everything (feth it IS a DEATH RAY after all) But I saw a thread o dakka earlier giving good ideas on how to deliberate on it.


but yes this is incredibly important call to make.

Today's FAQ update was delayed due to a break-in at our retail store. We'll have it up early tomorrow morning instead. Sorry for the wait!

Wish I could go, but I have to attend my Sister's bday party.

I hope you find them!

No mercy for the heretic.

Damn, that sucks Rob, sorry to hear that you had a break-in. The whole gang here hopes you get anything missing, back.

ooooooh i'm a total tourny newb but I love throwin some dice! I might come out just to play!

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys. It was a group of YuGiOh players who were smart enough to burglarize a store they knew had a camera system, so they've all been identified and should be sporting some snazzy new bracelets soon.

Our FAQ has been updated, and is somewhat extensive now. We'll be going in and organizing things a bit later on, but all of the questions we've had submitted are there, including a definitive ruling on the Doom Scythe.

Cool. Thanks.

Sounds good, glad to hear the thieves were identified! People like that are a drain on the hobby.

I don't see answers to two questions I had submitted (one regarding Signums/Voice of Experience and flyers, and one regarding Bastion weapon upgrades). These are fairly important issues for my army composition-- any chance of an update before the event?

Those are being debated at the moment and will be finalized tonight.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Updates to our FAQ:

Q: Can a Necron Doom Scythe’s Death Ray hit a Flyer in Zoom Mode?
A: Yes; the controlling player must elect to use Skyfire prior to shooting, and during that turn the Death Ray may not hit anything except for Flyers.

Q: How does a Space Marine Signum interact with Snap Shot?
A: If a Signum is used, the controlling player should roll off to determine which final value modifier is applied first (for example, a roll of 1-3 would mean that you fire at BS1 and a roll of 4-6 would mean that you fire at BS5). This holds true for all final value modifiers.

Q: Do Icarus lascannons or quad-guns taken by a bastion count as gun emplacements or as emplaced guns?
A: They are treated as emplaced guns and may not be targeted separately from the building.

A couple of additional important FAQ questions:

Q: Do fortifications count as vehicles for the purposes of shooting (Lance, Haywire, Melta, etc.)?
A: Yes.

Q: If I shoot my opponent’s vehicle during my Shooting Phase and wreck it, can the squad that emergency disembarks launch an assault during its next turn?
A: No. It will also count as having moved for the purposes of shooting during its next Shooting Phase.

Here's another question for your FAQ's.

When a necron night scythe gets downed, do the occupants take the S10 hit first and then go into reserves or do they bypass the damage and go directly into reserves?


I believe in last edition (5E), they went into reserves instead of taking damage from an explosion result.


Also, if they do take the hit, how would you resolve Morale and Reanimation Protocols if they are in reserves?


Thanks.

Won't be able to make it. Work is crazy busy at the moment. Hope everyone has a good time.

I'll add the answer to this one tonight (they go back into Reserves without suffering damage).

Unfortunantly I will not be able to attend....out of work and can't afford the $50 entry fee right now.

Damn, can't believe this snuck up on us so fast, been too busy.

Well, the team is excited for this, see you guys tomorrow!

I know, right? With everything going on the last few weeks it's been nuts.

See you all bright and early tomorrow!

Any update on what's going on? Really curious what lists are on the top tables.

Sisters vs. Grey Knights in the Finals
Bronze Medal Fight is ?Bikes? vs. Dark Eldar + Eldar

Pure sisters or do they have an ally?

Who ended up winning?

Necrons won! forgot the guy's name though,

anyways it was a great time!

The finals were Sisters (me) vs Grey Knights, and Necrons vs Dark Eldar (I think).

Championship match was GK vs Necrons, with Necrons, and Dakka's own jy2, winning it all.

Congrats to JY2 for the win.

Now this is how the tables look like after they put terrain on them.

If a TO wants to run a large event they need to make a lot of terrain like Mike Brandt at the NOVA Open, or limit the numbers of entrants like the 11th Company does for their tournaments.

I'll admit that the terrain was a bit sparse, but that shot makes it look extra bad. There was always some BLOS in the middle (which I found universally annoying so it must have been doing its job) and even the most barren table had at least 6 terrain features.

I think the biggest problem (and I've seen this before, not just at this GT) was the fact that the terrain didn't account well for the Hammer and Anvil deployment pattern. In that case, the middle terrain piece was largely negated. I think that's part of the 6E learning process though.

Overall, I think the tournament was a great success especially as a new tourney and the first to operate under the new rules.

I apologize, but I took this picture before they finished setting up all the terrain.

There was actually more terrain than that, though it still wasn't really up to the 25% standard of 5E (and I'm guessing up to the standards of 6E as well).

But I took advantage of every little terrain piece that there was, especially against Amerikon's Battle Sisters and Christian's Grey Knights.

Pure sisters with Aegis Defense Line + quad-guns.

That would be me, Jim.

Lol. It was the battle of Team Game Kastle vs Team Zero Comp.

Semi-finals:
Amerikon's Sisters (Team Game Kastle) vs Christian's Grey Knights (Team Zero Comp)

Jy2's Necrons (Team Game Kastle) vs Frankie's Harliestar Eldar/Dark Eldar (Team Zero Comp)


And in the Finals:

Jy2's Necrons (Team Game Kastle) vs Christian's Grey Knights (Team Zero Comp)
