@Kap'n: Lets hope for an unprecedented errata regarding Dorkanauts point cost, firepoints, transport capacity, and or super heavy. Oh man I got a wish list to beat the band.

Hell, I think every ork player has a wish list, but I'm not holding out any real hope of hotfixes, just curious about actual ork FAQs.

Hope is that is just fearless until end of turn; actual faq probably just says use the result of the 6 on the die.

Guys, don't even start, hope is the straight way to disappointment. Orks will remain a bottom tier codex and an errata can't fix issues that lie in the plain of straight bad desighn.

After giving it some consideration I was wrong. I think everyone who says it can't enter and leave in the same turn is right.

@Tau hate: The recent article on frontlinegaming seems that the ire is somewhat unfounded... at least in ITC meta. Link below:

But ITC crowd favorite Space Marines are definitely just fine... right guys? *eye rolls*

I really don't have a problme with Piranhas needing to stick around for 1 turn, as I'd use them mostly for seeker spam than drone spam. My real peeve with this formation is if drones are part of it or not.

I keep hearing people mention that the BRB FAQ makes it so that a scattered blast that lands on a different unit than was targeted counts as having targeted the new unit.

Can anybody help me find this? I can't seem to see it anywhere.

It's on their facebook page under the BRB faqs. There's links in the YMDC forum as well.

I've seen the FAQ I just can't see where in the FAQ this is described. It's not under Blast Templates and doesn't seem to be under Ordnance or Shooting either.

That might have been specific to the Veil of Tears question in the Harlequin faq.

No matter which way it is eventually ruled, I would like to take a moment to show some respect to someone who's willing to admit they may be wrong in the Internet. Most people can't do that, so I salute you, sir.

That is why I have respect for him. I know I have been hard on him once before for not debating properly but he always mans up.

I guess no one asked if there was the same limit for the Tau for Relics (*) as everyone else (1 relic per model unless named character)

(*) Signature systems.

There isn't by the looks of it, just a limit of one of each per army.

Ah right -its now been asked on FB if its the same as all other armies - one Relic per model.

It was asked In the initial round of questions too however whomever decides which question to ask is doing a pretty poor job it's like they deliberated pick the most benign version of it.
My guess is they will answer someone's question like below that doesn't even ask the proper question.
Question: can a tau commander can take signature systems?
Answer: Yes

Here's what it should be:

Errata:

Gorkanaught and Morkanught: Super-Heavy Assault Transport.

Tankbustas: each model may use up to one grenade per phase

That be great.

I would be good to do something about flash gitz, though that won't happen. Tankbustas needs the fix back, tho.

Tabkbustas are still pretty good for the price and the old way people used meltabombs made tankhammers irrelevant.
If anything the cost of tankhammers needs to go down to +5pts swap from the rokkits and nobs need to be clarified that they can take a powerklaw in exchange for the rokkit as well, however with a 5pt tankhammer I likely would never take a pk on a tankbusta nob. I like the grenade ruling overall.

But none of that will happen for Orks in a faq. I'm just hoping for a mob rule 7+ clarification, deff dread atk increase (yea right), clarifications on waagh ghazskull relics can be taken in a CAD, greentide added back to waaagh ghazskull and maybe made into a core choice (yea right), clarification on nobs taking pks in units that don't have a CC weapon they can swap (tankbustas), and minor kff clarifications such as how do you measure the kff on a wazbom blastjet (base or model) and is a kff meant to protect all units or just friendly units? There might be a few more clarifications for Orks I missed, but I don't see anything that can drastically help the army unless GW decides to add some decent formations for warbikers, tankbustas, lootas, Mek guns, deffkoptas, warbuggies/wartrakk, trukk boys, etc. you know the main choices most Orks uses that don't have any formations. In other words we need a speed freak supplement.

The Gitz are fine, the only thing they need without getting into the more army wide issue with Orks is that they need their 4+ armor back (the 5th edition codex version had 4+ armor stock). Maybe they can give bosspoles some extra functionality considering they gave every Git one for no discernible reason . Tankbustas sadly get hosed by the terrible melee grenade ruling that GW needs to rethink. Too many armies pay points per model for grenades so it becomes incredibly dumb to have to pay a ton of points for a 12 man squad of say Fire Warriors to get EMP grenades to only be able to use 1 in CC. 2 units of 6 pay the exact same as a unit of 12 but can use twice the number of grenades in CC.

I wonder if Stikkbomb Chukkas and Deffrollas will be erratad to not be useless 99.99999% of the time.

All stickbomb chunkkas errata into stickbomb flingas from the wazbom blastjet... Done and you just fixed or helped a lot of Ork vehicles in the process.

FYI stikkbomb flingas is a 5++ save for the first glance or pen each turn.

How's that work? Do the Orks use Grenades as flares?

I like how they copy pasted the german part, but didn't translate it. Because as we all know, everyone speaks german.

That's probably because it's only an error in the German version of the codex and not the English one.

Taking all bets on the next FAQ:

Necrons
Orks
Tyranids
Chaos (CSM and Daemons)
Imperial Guard (Aster Miliwhatum? You're in The Guard, son)

Am I forgetting anyone?

Grey Knights are still missing as well. Did they do Inq yet?

Prediction (with no backing): GK and CSM won't get FAQs. Instead, they'll get a big update with Warzone: Fenris Part 2 and many of those rules will overwrite things that people are asking about, and then maybe a round of FAQs after.

Probably Orks or Necrons today.

Inquisition was in the second week of FAQs.

I'm hoping for Orks, but it's probably going to be Necrons.

Huh... normally it's released by now, isn't it?

I think it's usually a couple more hours, there have just been early releases as well. Could be wrong, though.

No. Last week's FAQ was released at approximately 12:30 EDT.

I don't know if I'm the only one but I really look forward to these FAQs... my life is clearly very exciting
