Asked in this thread and seen in the post.

"Can a CAD IC recieve formation special rules when they join a unit in a different formation? " - 100 different ways.
Similarly: "If an independent character with the Psyker USR joins a unit with the Psyker USR (or Brotherhood of...) is it still considered a separate unit for the purposes of generating warp charge, casting the same power, etc..?"

"How do the new Daemon Psychic powers in the Scions of the Warp booklet update/replace/supplement the old ones. Is it including the restrictions of the old codex, making the Tzeentch artifact useless or do the old restrictions not apply to the new powers? "

Does Psychic Shriek require a roll to hit?

Can a psyker benefit from both Psychic Focus and Chaos Psychic Focus if it chooses to only randomly generate powers from a single non-god specific discipline? For example, would Herald of Tzeentch who only rolls on Malefic Daemonology gain the primaris powers for both Malefic Daemonology and Change?

I asked about space wolf BA and GK dreadnoughts getting their base attacks adjusted to reflect the newer marine dexes. - Many, many times.

OH, someone ask about the Tesla Sphere's firing arc.

I asked if the warp spider flicker jump was meant to be unlimited or limited to once per shooting phase.

Does the Paradox "flip" count as a reroll?

Does a Deepstriking Skimmer mishap if it lands on a unit.

Has anyone asked about 1+ fnp because that's another ganky rule.

I'm not willing to reactivate my Facebook right now for a variety of reasons, but has anyone asked about the Tau Hunter Contingent and how special rules are supposed to interact with the squad-joining mechanic (in an intelligent way)?

Multi-trackers on Overwatch

KDK FMC summoning required to arrive Swooping

Blast template interaction with building levels

Anyone asked yet if piranha formation can leave the table the same turn it enters?

Not seen in the post yet:

Can the unit of grey hunters in the new Deathpack formation take a stormwolf as a dedicated transport? Or is that not allowed because the flyer itself is not listed as a unit in the formation?

Also, if a rune priest wyrdstorm formation joins the wolf lord on thunderwolf and thunderwolf cavalry in the Deathpack are they still permitted to run and charge?

in the min-codex supplied the Bloodthirster entry is replaced with the one from the Scions of the Warp booklet.
Unlike the old Bloodthirster from the normal codex these seem to be missing the 'Lord of Blood' rule that lets you take Daemon Princes of Khorne as Heavy Support _IF_ you take a normal Bloodthirster or Skarbrand as a HQ choice. All the other gods' greater demons still have their respective rules that let you do that. Is this intended or a misprint?

The Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch only has Heavy type weapons. This means if you deepstrike you can only snapshot, if you move you snapshot. Combined with its short range it is almost useless.
It is strange that the version on a Burning Chariot of Tzeentch is relentless and doesn't have this problem. Is this intended or an oversight?

I... WHAT
WHAT
WHAT

Holy never thought I'd see this day again.

The Age of Sigmar page is doing the same too :

https://www.facebook.com/GWWarhammerAgeofSigmar/?fref=ts

That's great. Somebody else ask about dual weapon profiles (melee and range) and how the Obelisk interacts with FMC's.

Wow! So.. are we going to take this as an official FAQ if they reply?

One hopes it will end up updating the official FAQs, but I guess we'll see.

From the 40k Facebook page:

FAQs eh?
All right, let’s knuckle down and do this.
What one (just one, there’s rather a lot of you guys…) rules question do you want answered or clarified? Jot it down in the comments and we’ll take them to the Game Designers on your behalf. We’ll even return with answers, we promise. It might take a week or two but a collated list of freshly approved FAQs will be yours post haste.

It sounds like these will be quite official.

Okay let's get a list together. If you have submitted a question please let us know. OP are you willing to update the first post?


These are some of the unresolved and locked threads in the YmtC forum:

Question 1: Can a CAD IC recieve formation special rules when they join a unit in a different formation?

Question 2: Can the unit of grey hunters in the new Deathpack formation take a stormwolf as a dedicated transport? Or is that not allowed because the flyer itself is not listed as a unit in the formation?

Question 3: Also, if a rune priest wyrdstorm formation joins the wolf lord on thunderwolf and thunderwolf cavalry in the Deathpack are they still permitted to run and charge?

More good news. Looks like they have started to see they need players to keep their collectible model games profitable.

Hope they continue this trend.

Question 1:
How do the new Daemon Psychic powers in the Scions of the Warp booklet update/replace/supplement the old ones. Is it including the restrictions of the old codex, making the Tzeentch artifact useless or do the old restrictions not apply to the new powers?

Question 2:
in the min-codex supplied the Bloodthirster entry is replaced with the one from the Scions of the Warp booklet.
Unlike the old Bloodthirster from the normal codex these seem to be missing the 'Lord of Blood' rule that lets you take Daemon Princes of Khorne as Heavy Support _IF_ you take a normal Bloodthirster or Skarbrand as a HQ choice.

OH, someone ask about the Tesla Sphere's firing arc.

I asked about Independent characters joining units, and specifically about things like

"A unit of X from this detachment" with IC's joined.

Also asked if an IC joining an Astra Militarium unit then counts as part of an AM unit for orders, and benefits from those orders.

Haven't asked this as I'm not on the page yet, but surely

"If an independent character with the Psyker USR joins a unit with the Psyker USR (or Brotherhood of...) is it still considered a separate unit for the purposes of generating warp charge, casting the same power, etc..?"

Is a big one?

Only 1 question per person? Well something tells me the questions asked and subsequently answered here will be a drop in the ocean.

It's... something I guess.

Likelihood that these questions will become published in actual GQ website FAQs?
...
I'm not holding out a lot of hope.

Does Psychic Shriek require a roll to hit?

Can a psyker benefit from both Psychic Focus and Chaos Psychic Focus if it chooses to only randomly generate powers from a single non-god specific discipline? For example, would Herald of Tzeentch who only rolls on Malefic Daemonology gain the primaris powers for both Malefic Daemonology and Change?

What is the definition of a "psychic unit" for the purposes of the Psychic Phase? Do psykers who are Independent Characters and join a unit generate Warp Charge during the Psychic Phase? What if the unit contains other psykers or is itself a psyker (due to the Brotherhood of Psykers special rule for instance)? Can a psyker that has joined a unit attempt to cast a power if another psyker in unit they've joined has already attempted to cast the same power that Psychic Phase?

It's a start... which is something.

I went with this one.

Seriously, though, it's a mess.
They really should have done it on a week by week, army by army basis.
ie. "Alright, guys, this week is Blood Angels! Please post your BA related questions below. You have until Saturday to ask your questions (ONE per person. Ask two and we'll just skip you) and then we'll move on to the next army."

Doing it like that actually acknowledges that there are MASSIVE problems with the game though.

'Can we have a decent CSM Codex please?'

I asked about space wolf BA and GK dreadnoughts getting their base attacks adjusted to reflect the newer marine dexes.

This is fantastic news!

Except for the first time in a long time they hired a community rep.
Considering rules designers weren't allowed to engage directly anymore and the fact the community rep said he will post it on Facebook and then try to update the faqs. It's a lot more hopeful the Before.

Sadly, I've seen this asked close to 10 times in the comments already.

Yea instead of being happy that they are communicating and doing FAQ's plenty of people are asking obviously unrelated questions to ensure this is a failure. There are plenty of silly or flat outdated rules and costs but this should be seized upon to ask for clear answers to ambiguous rules.

It's a great step in the right directions, let's hope the comments don't blow up into a mess.

They're already a mess. Soooooo much wishlisting, gritching, and whinging.

Yea and people flat out asking a dozen things instead of one. I mean, I get that there are a lot, but I stuck to one question having faith in probability that in a week of thousands of gamers asking questions that most would be asked anyway.

What did they expect to happen? They've finally given their customers an outlet to vent to the company themselves. These FB pages are not even a week old. You're going to get an initial burst of things like this as people want to get stuff off their chests. If GW really want to stay the course and not have a mardy like last time and take their ball and storm off they have to weather all of this. Let people vent, let people say what they've gotta say; then once all this has (hopefully for them) died down, then they can get to the actual questions.
