Necrons and Daemons are left. Double release is probably unlikely, as they have only done those for "related" factions, but possible I guess.

Have the Tempestus Scions been done yet? Can't quite recall.

Yeah, they were one of the first, in a multi-release with Inquisition and Sisters.

Necrons is up.

And, some interesting stuff, I must say. Apparently now they say that C'Tans and Wraiths do strike at Init 1 when charging through terrain. Rip.

Also, Rest in Pepperonis to the Conclave of the Burning One. We knew you well. "Taps begins to play"

Necrons seemed to get a boost but there's some contradictory stuff in there too :(

Boost as in how? Most of it was stuff we already assumed (Praetorian weapons, Deathmarks wounding GCs on a 2, only one spyder in the formation, ext.).

Side note, I haven't even looked at the rules for a sponson mounted weapon. What are the rules for that, exactly? I don't have my rulebook on me.

Cool with most of that -- that's how we'd been playing the harvest so yeah us !

Hadn't even thought about the beamer/shred combo -- although not sure I've used anything other than res. protocols anyhow

.. wrong about the C'tan though IMO -- Mcs can shoot twice so...?

So now Lance doesn't cancel Quantum Shielding? Which are we supposed to use at this point

I have to say I'm pretty happy they clarified the Judicator Battlion and Nightscythe hang up. With the Praetorians being able to ride in a Nightscythe makes me happy too.

Also it appears I have lost the Obelisk weapon firing arc war lol. Or not, I forget how sponsons work but don't they long have an arc based on how they move? Which if that is true the FAQ hasn't actually answered anything lol.

Monstrous Creatures can fire two different weapons. Powers of the C'tan would be the equivalent of a single weapon with six randomly chosen firing modes.

Which is saddening because IIRC, it was worded to treat it as a shooting attack, but didn't mention it as a weapon, which is where the confusion came in.

Being able to use Gaze of Death in CC against any unit within line of sight seems huge.

But then you can't take it in Conclave of the Burning One any more so will anybody even play with them?

If you're not treating it as a weapon, then there's nothing that would allow you to use it twice to begin with as the rule says that a Monstrous Creature can "... fire up to two of their weapons each Shooting phase..."

Short Answer: No.

Oh GW, you gave everyone that wanted to field a C'tan effectively the perfect tool to do so. The formation seemed to be made to breath new life into my shelved giant. And when we finally get an answer to our prayer you strip it from us like the malevolent sons of bitches you are.

Redt of the FAQ is kind of how I used to play things anyway.

They answered the question right there - unless I'm not seeing something.

Q: Does the Lance special rule work against QUantum Shielding?
A: Yes.

Fourth question in the following image...

Ah! I see. Yeah, a few contradictions have popped up between the first general FAQ and the codex FAQ's. Likely they will circle around and clarify everything.. by the time 8th rolls out.

They previously addressed it in the BRB FAQ, as "both cancel each other out, and use the vehicles base AV"

In a previous FAQ they said the rules cancel each other out, ie none of the rules would be applied. This goes against that.

As previously answered, basically it looks like they fixed the previously stupid FAQ ruling but we have no way of knowing which they actually want us to use. Preferably, we would just have our AVs reduced to 12.

I'm surprised they didn't clarify the number of Scarabs that are returned with the Ret. Phalanx formation. I went ahead and asked the question on Facebook.

Welcome to our world...

So, finally Chaos Daemons are next...er....last?

Well they could still release deathwatch faq. It's not like there aren't questions for it.

The Chaos daemons FAQ is as long as the rest of the put together, I'm sure.

They actually said they might do one.

Would be odd not to. Release FAQ's for every other codex but not them? Not like there's not candinates...

Actually question should be more of "when". Do they do first draft for them now or later?

Well, if you look, they didn't answer any questions (because there probably weren't any compiled due to the book not being out) about the Angels of Death book either. I certainly hope they go back and cover stuff about that book and do some stuff for the Deathwatch Codex as well.

So how about a little clarification on how you can reembark on a Night Scythe.

The only way it would seem is to embark before the night scythe moves, since that is the only way the transport can move full distance.

Or they would jave to add to the Invasion Beams rule to allow reembark if the flyer moves under 36.

They also need to errata it so that you can embark on a zooming flier somehow
