toward the limit of unitsyou are allowed to keep in Reserves at the
start of a battle? (p44)
A: Yes.
Q: The Standard of Devastation states that ‘all friendly Codex:
Dark Angels units within 6” of the standard treat their boltguns as
Salvo 2/4 weapons’. Which boltguns does this apply to? (p66)

component of combi-weapons, and hurricane bolters.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Q: Can I take three of the same (not Twin-linked) weapons on my
Crisis suit? (p100)
A: Yes. Rememberthough that a Crisis battlesuit can still only
fire a maximum of two weapon systems per Shooting phase.
For example: A Crisis battlesuit could be equipped with three (non Twin-linked) burst cannons, or one Twin-linked burst
cannon and one (non Twin-linked) burst cannon, so long as
you pay the appropriate cost in each instance. In either case,
make sure your opponent is aware how you have chosen to
equip such models at the beginning of the game.

Bad Abbadon, no Daemonhood for you!

Page 57 – Abaddon the Despoiler, Mark of Chaos Ascendent
Add the following sentence “If Abaddon rolls Spawnhood or
Dark Apotheosis on the Chaos Boon Table, re-roll this result
(and any further results of the same). The Despoiler is not
meant for Daemonhood just yet!”

Also this might annoy some DA players:

Page 64 – Power Field Generator
Add “If the bearer is embarked upon a Transport vehicle, the
power field’s effects only apply to models embarked upon that
vehicle”.

The Rulebook FAQ lets you allocate blast wounds to models out of LOS now, I think that's a big change.

Page 33 – Blast & Large Blast, Line of Sight
Add to the end of the final paragraph: “Remember to keep the
wounds inflicted by weapons with the Blast special rule in their
own wound pool, and that wounds from this pool can be
allocated to the closest model in the target unit even if it is out
of sight of any models from the attacking unit”.

Change the first sentence of the second paragraph to “One

No dreads/rhinos firing guns then.... fair enough.

Well, I guess I'm glad they released this FAQ before I went and equipped my DW sergeants with a TH/SS I suppose. I'm not entirely sure why GW is adamant that their terminator sergeants use power swords but, by god, they will make you field them that way.

Get back in there, Sergeant Always-Dies-First!

Disappointed by the DW Assault ruling as well, but I can always just counts-as with Logan if I want to do a full deep strike (well, drop pod) army. Not the end of the world.

Bad sales maybe?


Q: If an Imperial Guard army includes both Captain Al’Rahem and
Commander Chenkov, and a unit of Conscripts that is part of
Al’Rahem’s Infantry Platoon has purchased Commander Chenkov’s
‘Send in the Next Wave’ upgrade, does it re-enter play using Outflank
as per Captain Al’Rahem’s ‘Stalk the Enemy’ or move on from the
player’s board edge, as per Commander Chenkov’s ‘Send in the Next
Wave’? (p64/65).
A: In this instance, neither rule takes precedence – therefore
simply roll a dice for which rule applies as per ‘The Most
Important Rule’ on page 4 of the Warhammer 40,000
Rulebook.


Great news!

Instead of answering, roll a dice!

Maybe but I would be surprised since it's a dual box with the normal Black Knight unit, and I've found the Black Knights to be amazing and most of what I've seen around from DA Players says the same thing.

People generally only took the Ravenwing Command squad if they wanted a mobile Banner of Devastation, because at 3 models, it just wasn't worth pimping out with things like Apothecaries for any other reason, so I think the change was a good idea, but I don't think the lack of popularity there was showing up on their bottom line.
