Is it true that the Stank is Insta-Killed by the Purple Sun? The Purple Sun states, "the affected units must take an Init test and if failed is slain outright with no armor saves of any kind allowed" and under the Stank rules under Characteristics tests it says, "the Stank automatically fails Init tests as its not to good at dodging".

So does that mean that ONE Purple Sun can Insta-Kill a Stank or potentially multiple Stanks depending on how close they are to each other.

It would seem so but that seems WAY to good so I ask dakka!

Beware saying such things makes people to claim stuff broken and discusting.

Around that, and I'm sure GW intentionally made the FAQ's that way.

"Alright, team, just make the FAQ make Steam Tanks even more powerful so we can sell the last of them, and then feth all of them over."

I built my 'ardboyz list and didn't take a steam tank. I think they were marginally worth it at that points level in the past, but not any more, given steadfast. Really has nothing to do with toughness or magic immunity.

Except there's no actual rules which support this ruling.

The question is out-of-date. The FAQ question-and-answer "does pit of shades work on it" was from when steam tanks had a special rule "immune to magic spells without a strength characteristic" which the FAQ-update deleted.

Thus it's a question-and-answer about something which does not exist.

The ERRATA (actual rules creation) made it so Pit of Shades does work against steam tanks.

Of course, Empire players are gonna be slowed and claim their tank which has no magic-immunity is somehow immune until GW actually cleans up their badly written FAQs.
