Hi
I have question about rules. I remember that when Walker is locked in combat and you charge it from the back the unit that hit his back hit him on the back armor instead of front (since he is locked in combat).
Since I can't find it in the rules I think is there something wrong with my memory or my rules searching skills are really weak?

It's in the Walker rules, subchapter "Walkers and Assaults".
[...] Models hitting a Walker in close combat always roll for armour penetration against its front armour unless it has been Immobilised. [...]

It is also possible you're thinking of the Hammer of Wrath rules: Hammer of Wrath, second paragraph, first sentence wrote:If a model with this special rule charges a building or vehicle, the hit is resolved against the Armour Value of the facing the charging model is touching.

Hammer of Wrath vs Walkers has been FAQed so that it hits the front of the Walker unless it's immobilised.

Where? The current Errata/ FAQ has 4 entries and that is none of them.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

For clarity's sake, make sure you're using the FAQ found on the bottom of GW's Home Page under the Rules Errata link and not the Black Library page.
