Pg127 – The Redmaw:
Add Monstrous Creature to the Redmaw’s Special Rules. Note that Bran
Redmaw does not gain this ability before he succumbs to the Curse of the
Redmaw


Which makes him a whole heap better, and deservedly so one supposes.

To be fair, most of that FAQ was taking a 4th edition rulebook up to 5th edition, if I recall correctly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3918188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3918188.page GMT Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara FAQ update http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3919033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3919033.page GMT Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara FAQ update

Not getting into the error on the ground, I'll just attack the ones in the small section on the space battle...


1) Near zero knowledge of space. For example, shock waves do not travel through a vacuum.
2) Imperial gravity plating is controlled locally according to fluff, and is not something that cant be taken out across an entire starship, let alone an entire space station. Even if the station tilts, no one is going to notice unless they look out a window.
3) Clearly no knowledge of how holofields work on starships. They do not 'redirect' or 'dissipate' anything, they just confuse Imperial sensors and make it difficult to hit them.
4) The information at the beginning of the book states that the radiation is only 18% greater then Earths. This means that those (in fluff meters thick adamantium) blast doors that seal shut would have been shielding enough for the people inside not to even notice those few seconds of fluctuating radiation.
5) even if all the things that happen did happen, assuming this is a small to medium sized Imperial station, there is now a 12-15 km wide station falling from the sky!!!! This is never mentioned again in the book, despite the fact that on impact it would have hit with nearly the force of the K-T impact. The battle would have been very short, as there would have been no one left alive on the surface.
6) Using a fancy word for attitude jets does not cover up that it would take months for the station to noticeably wobble, let alone tilt in the manner described.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3937695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3937695.page GMT Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara FAQ update
Pushing fun aside for a minute I can now no longer take this game of 9 foot tall super warriors, alien psykers and giant robots at all seriously! Why did i waste of my life on these toys? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3938698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3938698.page GMT Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara FAQ update

There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's just not fact-checking.

Being more familiar with WM's factual atrocities, I'll use that setting for another example:

Giant robots that should realistically not be able to move the way they do, would be better as not bipeds, have hands holding weapons instead of weapons directly attached, etc.--> Sure, it's style, that's fine.

Said robots shooting fire and smoke out of their boilers to be dramatic? No. If the above is true, it's because they're running very efficiently/have advanced steam tech, not because they're critically malfunctioning or built by idiots.

Same thing here, and, while I like FW's writing, they do seem to forget where they're going with things, every now and then, regarding things which sort of come out of nowhere or are never resolved, or how physics work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3938778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3938778.page GMT Imperial Armour Volume 11: The Doom of Mymeara FAQ update

Or the people are stupid to astonishing levels. The Lord Inquisitor pulls the resources of the entire sector, manages to bring huge amounts of men and material there for the ground war, and seems to have totally ignore the war in space, to the point that only static defenses and SDF Monitors are doing the fighting. It's not until the Space Wolves bring the Navy that anyone seems to have bothered to contact the sector fleet base about a massive eldar invasion.

Oh, and the Space Wolves strike cruiser blasts its way through the entire enemy fleet, which has already wiped out a much more powerful force. Perhaps Bran Redmaw should have leapt from ship to ship and slain them all while he was at it, so great was his plot armor, all while screaming 'I will make Draigo my bitch!']]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3939315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/430092/3939315.page GMT
