Yakface is even credited on the Eldar FAQ. Very cool.

The Eldar one is very interesting...

All those people who were dissing the Adepticon FAQ, what do they say now that the official GW publications are crediting Yakface?

Eh? Eh?

Intercept: Stupid, pointless nerf. Yeah, that'll show those imba Hawks.

A lot of those "FAQs" should properly be called errata. A few of them seem to be gratuitous changes to things that were clear by RAW. Still, I'm so glad they finally put this out. It seems to settle all the issues that've been giving people headaches, at least as far as Eldar are concerned.

And there's a (well-deserved) shout-out to yak at the end! Damn right.

Edit: CSM FAQ looks solid too. They left out the rather significant Tzeentch biker question, but that must be because 5th ed turboboost rules make the point moot. The ruling on wings gave me a chuckle.

Edit 2: Just noticed that the ruling on WG in Serpents is rather irksome. It does not state that a Warlock attached to a unit of embarked WG negates their Wraithsight, which seems rather unfair.

Couple of things that stand out:

Lash of Submission even more lenient in moving models.

Linked Fire Prism shots; FP can't be shaken/stunned (man, I've been subject to that a few times)

2 Autarchs may give a +2 to Reserve rolls. My 5th ed Eldar idea really benefits from this. Hell, I can safely keep my entire army off the table and have it enter from Deep Strike/Flank/Reserves on a 2+ starting turn 2. Whoa...

Harlies and VoT cleared up.

Eldrad's Divination. I always played that the Falcon and fire Dragons inside were counted as two units being repositioned. Guess I was wrong.

Guess this answers all those questions about Typhus. I shall now do a happy dance while singing 'I was right, I was right!'

Eldar players can rest easy, Kharn's hitting your skimmers on 6's again

And apparently you can kill with the lash, if you're slamming bikers or jumpers though terrain :S

Is the Wood Elf FAQ another new one? It was updated pretty recently, I thought.

They updated the WE FAQ just a week or two ago, but this has a change. It’s pretty substantial, too. They changed Moonstone of Hidden Ways to only work in the WE player’s turn. Ruling the opposite in the last version was one of the most controversial rulings, as it allows some amazingly powerful (arguably broken as hell) moves, like teleporting out of combat after the enemy charges you, or teleporting into a forest on the enemy side of the board on their turn 1, then immediately charging them in the flank or rear on your own turn.

good to see that the marine faq will be updated in the 15th month of the year?!?!? their website is so unprofessional, much like their rules writing.

Yakface gets his name on the CSM faq, too. Unsurprisingly, since he already had all that work on the other tournament's FAQ (if I'm not mistaken). Maybe they should've used that one

edit - it sounds baddass, Jon Yakface and the FAQ RULING COUNCIL! ( I wanna have a metal band named after that)

What are you talking about?

Arhiman only being able to use one shooting attack power a turn hurts him alot. It pretty much ignores some poor wording under the Black Staff. I don't know why anyone would take him now.

Shockingly enough, in Europe they use the European dating system...

Jeremycobert: lol

tC: Um... they are called Errata. It's even in the url and the page header.

But he can still spawnify things x3, apparently.

Apparently you haven't had much experience with European dating schemes...

American standard is MM/DD/YYYY (e.g. 5/15/2008 is May 15, 2008)
European standard is DD/MM/YYYY (e.g. same date is 15/5/2008)

Interesting, the yo-yo hawk is finally official (Swooping Hawks can Skyleap the same turn they deep strike). Thats paying 132 points for a couple of S4 large blast template grenade packs... but worth so much more in pure annoyance.

Just read the Vampire Counts. Mauleed, you are 0-2 my friend. Invo can be cast into combat and barding does cause -1 to movement.

Is it my imagination, or did they revise the Wood Elf faq again as well? The one on that site is listed as posted today, but I don't seem to see anything different from the one from last month...

Edit: Oh, and other then the errata in Beasts of Chaos (no mixing), are there any changes there people have noticed?

The answer has already been posted. In this thread no less.

Ozy:

Yes, but the document itself is divided into an "Errata" and a "FAQs" section. All I'm saying is some of the latter would fit better in the former category as they are clear rules changes (as opposed to rulings that clarify a point that is unclear).

Buzzsaw, scroll up. The WE change has been commented on already (Mannahnin's post).

Oz and tC: Thanks.

Eldar faq: Embolden lets you reroll psychic tests? Wow, just wow.

Oh, and nice to see Yakface and co.'s hard work recognized, congratulations!

First, big Congrats to Yak and the "FAQ COUNCIL (of Doooommmm)"


Only one issue pops out at me.

Why are warp Spiders allowed to move after they deep strike?

Most things that can do X instead of Y can't do X if they can't do Y.
For an example, the Fire Prisms in the same FAQ can't support if they have no gun. (Can't shoot, can't support instead of shooting.)

And *nothing* gets to move after deepstriking.
If you allow assault moves, when assaulting is directly not allowed; how can you disallow fleeting, when shooting is allowed.

I just don't get it.

May be looking to 5th, where last I heard you could run or fleet after striking ...

- Salvage

Ah. Vindication. I remember people jumping all over me when I suggested that Embolden can be used to reroll failed psychic tests.

Capt K

Also, Lash's ability to be stopped by the target unit being pinned by a previous lash is funny to me.

Ahiriman is now most definatly not worth it. And I am sad to see Kharn has lost his ability to jump into the air and magically hit a skimmer 6 times.

That's 4th too.

There's no running in 4th?

Anyway, let's not start that debate...

How very "Umurikin" of you.
