<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question.
Under Breakaway Faction the rules state, "Crisis battlesuits count as 1+ units in the same way as fire warriors,
and the following units count as 0-1 in an army led by O'Shovah: Stealth armour, Pathfinder spuads, Hammerheads" and so on.

I don't get what it means by "1+" and "0-1".
If anyone could help me better understand this section of the rules, I would greatly appreciate.
THX in advance.

0-1; you can have a max of each unit, so for example you can only have one hammer head

also don't forget about hat you can't take at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947365.page GMT O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question.
1+ means you must have at least one, and 0-1 means you can have a maximum of 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947845.page GMT Re:O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question. not state that he counts as your 1+ Fire Caste Commander the way Shadowsun does.

actually FAQ says he counts as one http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1180141_Tau_Empire_FAQ_2006-08_5th_Edition.pdf
this is why it's always good to have a copy of it on you

and gwar said i was right, i can die a happy man now]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947938.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947938.page GMT Re:O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question. I said exactly that. You even quoted me saying that and apparently still didn't realize that I said it.

And for the record, I do have all of the FAQs and errata. Printed and bound, with a nice glossy cover. Take'em to every game I play.

Strange that the FAQ says one thing, and the rules say something totally different, eh?

I wonder why that could be? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947945.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1947945.page GMT Re:O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question.

oops sorry didn't read that bit some how??

also how doesn't a FAQ written by the company carry any weight? sure they do screw up sometimes but the also do that in the rules]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948018.page GMT O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question.

Errata are actual rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948032.page GMT Re:O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question. FAQs are an official source, whereas others (and I include myself here) are of the opinion that FAQs are house rules. The reasoning of the latter group stems directly from GW's website, which explicitly states (on the page just before the actual FAQs) that the FAQs are, I quote, "Studio House Rules."

They call them a "soft" source, whereas Errata are "hard," and carry the same weight as the rest of the codex.

Personally I feel that since it's GW making this distinction, the FAQs are in fact house rules.

But like I said, that's not the only school of thought.

Do note, however, that the rules for this forum include GW FAQs as an official source.

So take that for what it's worth.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318172/1948033.page GMT O'Shovah Commander Farsight rules question.
