According to one of my friends, the first turn has now been faqed.
It is not the first player who finishes his deployment who starts, but there is a roll off in which the later only has a +1 mod.

But I can't seem to find said FAQ. Is my friend making a mistake ?

It's a suggested change in the upcoming 'Chapter Approved' book.

IG doesn't need to the help, but this change absolutely needs to be made. Placing a single unit after your opponent finishes shouldn't swing such a huge advantage so harshly.

Of course the fact that first turn is still such a huge advantage after all these years is frustrating. Going last should be a big deal as well, but that advantage is significantly reduced with random game length and only relevant if it gets that far... I have yet to play a game in 8th that didn't end in a tabling of one side.

The rule for who goes first isn't a big deal right now, but this change only screws over small elite forces.

I would argue the entry in chapter approved should include: "If you have less than half total units compared to your opponent, add +2 to your roll to determine who goes first instead of +1"

I'd rather they tried some experimental alternating activation rules.
