This thread is to document any "mistakes" in the 9th edition errata. I want to stress that it's entirely possible that GW intended to nerf Executioner Rounds and break Guilliman's revive, but it's also possible it might be an error.

The ones I know of:
Guilliman Errata changes the wrong sentence.
Bolt Sniper Rifle Executioner Rounds no longer ignore LOS.
The second half of the White Scars Chapter Tactic now applies to all models, not just Bikers.

Probably not a mistake: Harlequins Flip Belts no longer allow you to ignore enemy models when making a Normal Move or Advance.

Anyone else seen any others?

I doubt very much that the White Scars change is a mistake.
Its a complete sentence and thought (rather than juggling a partial sentence). Its also in line with the first sentence (which is also global to all their units)

As is, the change gives them a lot of benefits with primaris units. (Which should be obvious

If it only applied to bikes, it would currently _only_ work with meltaguns on old marine bikes, and scout bike shotguns and grenade launchers. That would be utterly horrible, even just as half a chapter tactic.

---
The main mistake here is it appears twice in the FAQ.

It's a mistake.

Doesn't the second sentence of the White Scar trait allow them to advance and fire assault weapons without penalty? How would that impact Assault Terminators in any way?

Yep.

WS Terminators could already advance and charge (or fall back and charge) per the first sentence of their chapter tactic (in the book). This new second sentence does literally nothing for them.

For old marines in general it does very little. Meltaguns, flamers, shotguns, plasma cutters on techmarines, one thing each on tartaros and cataphract terminators.

Primaris get a lot of use out of it...if you think negating a penalty with a specific class of weapon is important. (Which in some cases is very nice, but personally, advance or fall back and charge is far more important)

It raises the tactical value of auto bolter Intercessors and rubs salt in the wound of eradicators, but in general its just a neat little bonus.

It got changed because Bikers used to negate the heavy penalty AND the -1 to hit with assault weapons when advancing. With the heavy clause worked into the general system for non-infantry (including) bikes, it was a rather crappy second trait (that literally only affected bikers with meltaguns, scout bike shotguns and scout bike grenade launchers). Frankly it wasn't very good before, since it only affected the MM or HB on attack bikes.

For me it's just another thing that's easy (easier, now) to remember. And given that my Primaris force is going to be a White Scar successor, I'm fine with that.

An overlooked thing that needs to be FAQed:

The GSC Tectonic Fragdrill.

This is a 'sector mechanicus structure' that works as a 'terrain feature' The former is meaningless in 9th edition, and the latter is specifically not a building (which are units). It has special rules for movement on the terrain feature and cover that don't mesh with the 9th edition rules at all. For example, it simply provides 'cover' which is meaningless without a type of cover (light, heavy, dense) and talks about other models receiving cover if they're '50% obscured,' which is pure gibberish in 9th.

Underground Egress basically doesn't play nice with the movement step and reinforcement step of the movement phase, but I can't be bothered to try to unpack it at this hour.

The GSC FAQ mentions this thing zero times, despite being functionally incompatible with multiple areas of the 9th edition rules.

Probably intentional, given Specialist Detachments are no longer part of the game (as they see it).

No, it isn't. It's part of the Grand Tournament mission pack, it's nothing to do with the Eternal War missions. Vigilus is, for now, still legal for the Eternal War mission pack.

BTW, not sure if this counts but the IA FAQ for IMperium lists Elysians Snipers and their sniperrifles specifically (even though they get most likely legended) as ignoring look out sir, yet other sniper rifles don't in this doccument now?

Yes it seems to be having fun, The iPad auto correct annoys me to no end. It does feel like the heavy Bolter hits like a large pillow a lot of the time when I shoot with it.
