My other blunder isnt a rule but a stats fail.

I play orks and tau. Orks i never have any stats problems since theyre pretty much identical to each other save the named ones. Tau on the other hand i ALWAYS forget that my damn Ionheads or Skyrays are BS4 not 3 lol.

I played ~12 games with my 'nids using 3W Carnifex. When I finally realized they have 4 wounds instead of 3, they got way better!

People who fire the same weapons with obliterators twice in a row, or think they have missile launchers, or think they can snap fire.

Another one is removing models that the firing unit cannot see, both in the case of the firer wiping out a unit he can only see one model from, or the other guy removing models without any special equipment that are behind a wall.

Oblits can snap fire, they merely cannot overwatch.

**Happyjew**

Oh, another one I see a lot - Flyers must Hover in order to score in BGNT/Scouring.

Until today I kept thinking that in 6th edition, Jump pack units move upto 12" during movement phase AND re-roll charge distance and gain a HoW attack upon charge during the assault phase. Now it turns out only Raven Guard can pull this off.

Technically jump units can do both, just not in the same turn lol. Its either or.

This is a pet peeve of mine, I never correct people on it.
But Psychic powers like Guide do not equal twin linked. They are different things.
You re-roll to hit with guide. Twin linked is a different rule that affects Flamers Re-rolling to wound.
It is just a pet peeve of mine, I never correct anyone but it just annoys me

**ninjafiredragon**

there was a player at my gaming store a WEEK ago who though vehcles could overwatch. and i had seen him lots of times before. i went up to him and ended that right there.

Flee does not work on Difficult terrain tests. Can't tell you how many people I see mess this p, myself included.

**Dantioch**

I routinely see people use the old rules for tank hunters, that you get +1 to your armour penetration rolls and not the new rules which allow you to re-roll any ap rolls. I'm surprised how often I see the rule missunderstood here.

**davou**

I keep bumping into people who think you can move around an obstacle to avoid a 3d6 assault. Or trying to move the first fig beyond closes to closest because they rolled higher than that on the charge distance

**Ravenous D**

Yup, I see that one all the time. I had a guy argue that its only the first model that needs to go in a straight line.

**Alexi**

I admit, I screwed up the +1 to building damage and tank hunter rule for IF marines 2 weeks ago. Got the 2 mixed up. I have no excuse since I started really in 6th :(

**Sir Arun**

I keep forgetting that my devastator squad has one heavy weapon guy with BS 5 due to the sarge's Signum.

**SarisKhan**

I used to think that my Chaos Lord's Aura of Dark Glory extends to his unit. For some reason (probably DoW), I thought that CSM Champions don't have bolters. Also, I keep forgetting about using the bloody 'nades, but it's got better recently.
