Again...

The Start... Then Continue Collecting! article just popped and it has a very interesting little detail.

The article says, and I quote
"we highly recommend grabbing Codex Supplement: Imperial Fists.* The combined abilities of their marksman bolt carbines and Siege Masters Warlord Trait will mean that for each hit roll of a 6, your Imperial Fists Infiltrators will score two automatic wounds!"

Sounds great! Except that the SM FAQ specifically calls this out as a no go in,
"Q: If an ability or rule generates an additional hit (e.g. the Siege Masters Chapter Tactic or Whirlwind of Rage), do these additional hits gain any other benefits that would apply to an attack on a hit roll of 6 (e.g. an Infiltrator’s marksman bolt carbine)?
A: No..."

Possible rule change soon? Or maybe GW's departments really do not do a good job at being able to communicate. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642685.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642685.page GMT Start… Then Continue Collecting! article dropped and it might have a bit of an error http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642697.page GMT Start… Then Continue Collecting! article dropped and it might have a bit of an error

They initially ruled it exactly the way the article describes. Then, when they realized it created unintended interactions like this, they changed the FAQ answer (you should see a commentary in the FAQ you quoted from explaining exactly what happened).

Depending on when that article was written and proofed, it may very well have been accurate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10642714.page GMT Re:Start… Then Continue Collecting! article dropped and it might have a bit of an error http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10643117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782843/10643117.page GMT Re:Start… Then Continue Collecting! article dropped and it might have a bit of an error

I wouldn't be surprised if these community pages are scheduled far in advance and not written the day before


Most definitely. They would have a backlog of filler articles and rules articles lined up months in advance to coincide with their release calendars.
