Wow... the Baal is still fast, so let's hope the others are just a staffer lazily copy/pasting the list from the C:SMFAQ and not updating like they should have.
This has to be a mistake.
It looks like the classic GW copy-paste laziness by someone who doesn't play the game and that nobody double-checked
One assumes this is why the GK seemed to have gained Predators, Whirlwinds and vindicators ?
Enthralled at the removal of previous FAQ answers all over the place
.. still gives us something to talk about eh ?
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Samurai_Eduh wrote:Did Broodlords just become synapse creatures? Dominion gives you synapse now if you didnt alreay have it. So if that is the Tyranid primaris, Broodlords became synapse.
Only if you actually manifest Dominion. If you use the Horror, you stay non synapse. That's a neat change for Broodlords. I mean, they still are way too expensive and genestealers are still way too fragile, but it's a nice buff regardless.
With psychic focus you automatically get dominion now. In fact all nid psychers do. This is actually a huge buff for nids.
Does the psychic focus apply when your unit has a set power, rather than rolling? I don't have my rule book yet, so I don't know exactly how that reads.
Even if he does, you'd still have to actually cast Dominion to get its effects. You wouldn't be Synapse 100% of the time. Still a buff though!
He has a set power and Psychic Focus only works if you get to roll for powers. So the dominion thing does nothing with existing units as far as I can tell. Wonder if that was just a snafu on their part thuugh, since other unist with set powers got the primaris in these FAQ (eg see Grey knights)
It is kinda neat though that you can make the broodlord the warlord and then he gets synapse.
@ the bolded: only if he rolls that warlord trait, right?
Ahh yeah I think you are right. Misread that one.

Anyone else notice that runic weapons errata mentions to ignore the third sentence under runic weopons on pg 36 of the space wolf book. That sentence is the one that says runic weapons are force weapons... It doesn't seem to replace the part about the nullify on a 4+. Perhaps an oversight? If they meant the 4th sentence, then that would make them unlimited range to deny, because the fourth sentence is the one with the range bubble...

Since Characters don't have Precision Strikes or Precision Shots anymore the only thing being a Character would have given him was the ability to Challenge. And while fluffy, I don't see it being a big deal to not have that anymore honestly.

It means he can't be a warlord. That was the biggest implication actually.

Same here, but if I am not mistaken the old FAQs were like that as well.
Correct. They're image-only PDFs, not text searchable. Which frankly is an amateur move on GW's part. I really wish PDFs hadn't taken off as a format. Hate them so much...
I'm amused by the sheer number of FAQs are up threads on dakka, thread for it in news and rumors, you make the call, 40k general. Lots of FAQ conversation all over the place

Bjorn charges a squad of Necron warriors with Lord.
Me: "I challenge your lord."
Opponent: "I accept! Ha! mind shackle scarabs!"
Me: "You can't mind shackle a dreadnought."
Opponent: "..."
Me: "Is your lord eternal warrior?"
Opponent: "no?"
SPLAT
Me: "Too bad...Next!"

Anyhow, no errata for Sisters. We apparently are not worth the digital ink. On the other hand, I am not sure anything needed errata in our oh digital booklet.

As I said before, digital only books don't get FAQs/Erratas, they just update the books instead. That's why instead of Errata-ing things when the book came out and we had questions they just fixed the issues and reissued the book.

Losing all their special powers for banishing is interesting. Makes them, VERY specialized.
I like that the old broken cleansing flame vanished. Bro banner is a waste now as well.
Generally they got Banishing & another power like Hammerhand or Cleansing Flame. So they aren't that specialized. And the vehicles getting powers is pretty sweet too.

I was referring to banishing, which definitely was the most prolific power. I think they should be decent but definitely niche.

Okay, then I will complain about no “update” rather than no “errata”, but it basically seems the exact same thing to me.

Wait... you saying embarked wargear "pushes" out from vehicles now?
So a Libby with PFG riding a 'raider now has that 4+ invulnerable pushing out 6" from the hull?
Hate to be a pest... but, are there any restrictions in 7ed for this sort of scenario? This was FAQ'ed in 6ed, and I'm not seeing it anymore. Unless it's buried in new core rules book.??
Have any of the digital books been updated yet? I don't think I see any changes with my iPad version of Tyranids but wondering if any of the others have been updated.

Sad to see The (Reinforced) Aegis and Brotherhood Banner nerfed into the ground. But I guess since Aegis is free, having it be at least functional is worth being happy about.
Oh well.
I guess having Sanctuary on vehicles is pretty sweet, especially if you've got Paladins near a dreadnought.
