I have a quick question. When assulting does the initial charger need to get into base contact? or just within 1 inch? It maybe be stupid but the rule book doesn't give certain clarification from what i can find. Thanks.

Covered in The Assault Phase chapter, Move Initial Charger section, 2nd graph.

Cheers ^ looks like contact.

I'd like to know what GW's stance on raw and rai is, just cos

The rules are more like guidelines than actual rules. Everything pales in comparison with FORGING THE NARRATIVE ©.

It's not obvious from the way they write their rules?

Anyone ask about Superheavy targeting sequence? One at a time or all at once?

Maybe it is different for SHV... but i was under the impression that a unit (split fire, target locks, GMCs etc) need to select all their targets before resolving the shooting attacks.

^ preventing the player from saying.. ok this gun didnt kill that unit.. so i am going to use the next gun.. etc

That is exactly the debate, whether it does that or not.

question asked was

Logan MacLaren Do Gargantuan Creatures/Super Heavy Vehicles need to declare all of the shooting from all of their weapons at the same time, or does it resolve 1 weapon at a time (as is implied in the Shooting rules)?

and

Ed Laberge How does firing multiple weapons on a super heavy work? Do you have to select all targets before any dice are rolled? If that is the case part 2: are one time use weapons used up if a previous weapon destroyed the target that the one time use weapon was going to shoot.

Thanks RFHolloway.

I asked about what constitutes "best save available" in relation to having a rerollable save vs a numerically lower static save.

Actually it is yes

Raaaawgflabbybullbob +1 inch

Whut?

I don't use FB, but I am sure that these questions must have been asked.

#1: does psychic shriek require a roll to hit?

#2: do CSM with mark of Tzeentch have to take a Tzeentch power, or does chaos psychic focus cover this, Allowing them to choose from another discipline?

Does anyone have these answers?

#1 was definitely asked.
I don't recall seeing #2, but I haven't looked back since the post count was around 500 or so.

A couple people already asked GW to address everything in the ITC FAQ.

That was indeed my one question

Out of curiosity, why are we going over what has already been asked. If they truly are doing an FAQ, then the more times a question gets asked, the higher the probability it gets included, I would think we want that Psychic Shriek question itself to generate a couple hundred posts.....

@battlesong: the reason that I was asking was because I do not use Facebook. I was curious as to whether these questions had been asked and answered.

There is no reason to ask the same question twice the face book community rep guy said to like the questions you want answered the most. This also might be a way for him to determine which questions are the most important.

A question never asked is a question never answered. I for one want as many questions answered as possible.

So has anything happened with this whole thrust yet? I feel like it was all the hype and then .... silence

Well, divesting the list of redundancies, flaming, vitriol, trolling, and irrelevant requests will take a quarter...

I would imagine so lol. Just didn't know if anyone heard any news.

I did notice the other day they took down a bunch of FAQ links... so that is definite progress!

Unfortunately, the GW designers are probably under the gun putting together all the new AOS stuff. It's not like GW is going to allocate anyone full-time to 40K FAQs.

True, but they have to have an actual list first, and that's where interns come in... and the quarter.

Those links have been down for a while, long before their request for questions for the new FAQ.

Same here. Did this ever amount to anything?

Guys, these things take time. I'm currently a project manager with a spouse who has worked in publishing. It's going to take months, at a minimum, to collate the posts into an actual list of questions, weed out the duplicates, fix the wording of each question, coordinate the people able to answer the questions, get them to actually spend time answering the questions and then prepare the document for publication. It's not like this is something that can happen in a week, or even a month. Honestly, three months is a stretch if this either isn't a major priority (I doubt it is) or if it's been given to someone relatively new or without much in the way of resources. Plus, whoever is managing this particular exercise probably doesn't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Warhammer 40k. I've been doing this for ages, but still have to reference my rulebooks all the time because I have no idea what all of the rules are for the factions I rarely see played.

Agreed. It'll take time folks. We were lucky enough that they acknowledged receiving over 2000 responses! If we're very lucky, they'll give us an update within the next couple of weeks. But I wouldn't expect to see anything in print for months.

Could you run that by me again?

Anyway, what he said...

Have they cut off questions now and are going through the process of addressing FAQ's?
