Would be funny to see how people voted on the Dark Eldar Flickerfield.

Rules is it's an Invulnerable save, fluff is it's an optical illusion making the vehicle look like it's there or maybe not. Fluffwise it makes no sense you could use it against the damage you take from ramming (looking like you didn't hit that Landraider shouldn't protect you from the damage) or from failing a Dangerous Terrain test (look like you didn't hit that tree all you want, bub).

"No long discussion"

4 pages long. Welcome to dakkadakka

I'm still amazed we're still at a 50/50 split. someone should notify GW, that this is obviously not a clear topic. lol

Looks like its been officially resolved.
No damage, go into reserve.
It's in the latest update to the digital codex.

Can you do a printscreen to see for ourselves?

Well, not really official until it hits the FAQ's, but a good indication of changes in the next round of FAQ's.
Still a screen grab would be nice if that doesn't violate any copy rights.

Not even sure why GW's doing digital codexes, they can't even keep up with FAQ's ...

How could a screen grab violate copy rights. I bought my codex and I should know any updates on it.

Here's the text.

/Interesting, so no damage to the necrons embarked! darn!

Now I'm confused. Why wouldn't they just FAQ that? How many people are going to have access to the digital codex?

But that being said, looks like the questions been answered.

To be fair, I got the update this morning as I was downloading the DA codex, it wasn't there last night.
I expect a FAQ will be published on Monday.
There may be other changes in the codex, it's just that's the only one I noticed.

Hmm I wonder if anyone noticed any other changes in the codex's?

Always good to see something resolved!

Ooh, brb!
Quickly buying an Ipad and Digital Codex's because GW doesn't bother to update the rest -_-'

Anyone else notice that aside from the digital codex saying the transported units don't take damage, that they removed the "Jump infantry count as 2 units; jetbikes count as 3" with the transport capacity? So apparently, jump infantry and jetbikes take up the exact same amount of space as basic infantry with necrons now.

For every one thing they "fix", they screw up two others

In 6th edition JI have the bulk rule, so each JI model counts as 2 infantry models for transport capacity. No need to repeat that in the codex.

Seconded.
Instead of "counts as two", they now have:
Bulky => 2 spots
Very Bulky => 3 spots
Extremely Bulky => 5 spots

I guess, just seems odd to remove it altogether when the paper versions would still have it. Unless they update those too

They will. In about 5 months when they are finally finished reviewing the non-digital version of the Dark Angels codex and release updates to fix all the glaring errors in it.

So I guess that since fluff are becoming rules now with edition changes does that mean that RAI for spore mines is that they are ap3 since fluff says the acid in them burns through ceramite which is what SM power armor is made from. I bet they let the author A.K.A. Mat Ward A.K.A Mr. I have never seen so much bias in my life, decide which way this went.

Hey look at that, no damage. nice.

It's good to see them conclusively state something that they'd previously only alluded to and confused a lot of people in so doing.

shame we can't lock this while the polls still 50/50 (ok 48/51)

Yeah, that would be a fitting end to a convoluted issue. A Testament if you will.

Awesome about the digital dex update. The past couple times the dex's weren't updated until a week or so after the FAQs.

Thank you GW. Now, release the rest of the codexes on the iPad.

So as they arent in the night scythe if they haven't disembarked by the end of the game do they count as destroyed?

I just want them to release them on a non-apple product. I'm not carrying around my Ipad when I play. Now, my android phone is an option...

Still good thing to see this got cleared up. Necrons win!

According to the rules they are normally embarked on it, so they do not count as destroyed.

So they are not technically in the scythe so they take no damage, but they get the benefits of being in the scythe such as activating solar pulse.....

I think that's called having your cake and eating it too! LOL

Shock, a necron ruling that changes yet more rules......
