Ghost Hand posted:Unless it specifically states it is NEVER scoring. (Not sure if scarabs say this or not). Scoring Units posted:Any unit can be a scoring unit, unless: Swarms posted:If, when allocating Wounds to a unit with the Swarms special rule, two or more models could be chosen as the closest enemy, the closest enemy is always the model with the least number of Wounds. If a model with the Swarm special rule suffers an unsaved Wound from a Blast (any size) or Template weapon, each unsaved Wound is multiplied to two unsaved Wounds unless that Wound has the Instant Death special rule. However, a unit entirely composed of models with the Swarm special rule is not slowed by difficult terrain, but must test for Dangerous Terrain as normal. So yeah, swarms can score. Anything can score UNLESS it's from the above list, or it says in their entry (ex. Death Company).

I'm reading the Imperial Knight FAQ and it's really quite funny. "Ignore all the rules in the book. Except for that one box on the bottom right."

There are zero actual FAQs in there, just a few amendments to bring things up to 7th. e: seems that some have FAQs, some don't. Good job. Lungboy fucked around with this message at 17:16 on May 27, 2014 |

Haha, they changed Nature's Bane to only affect Citadel "Twisted Copse" terrain and not forest terrain in general. Not that it's an amazing trait anyway, but good to know it'll never work on a table outside of a GW store. Edit: They didn't even change Dominion to function properly, goddamn. I'm just going to email them a huge list of current problems and see what comes back. Ugh. PierreTheMime fucked around with this message at 17:04 on May 27, 2014 |

Question: I want to use a battleforged army which includes coteaz and another inquisitor. I don't want to have to pay the troops tax for their GK version. If I use codex inquisition I can just take them alone. I assume I can just use their GK FAQ versions (aka they can get sanctic powers without perils on any double etc?)

serious gaylord posted:All of the FAQ's are up. Holy son of the Emperor, that Grey Knights FAQ  -The Aegis allows you to reroll ones for DtW -Reinforced Aegis allows you to reroll any failed DtW rolls -Librarians, GMs, BroCaps, Coteaz and Draigo can roll on Divination, Pyro, Telekinesis, Telepathy and Sanctic charts -All other GKs always know the  new and improved Hammerhand and Banishment-Purifiers have the above powers, plus Cleansing Flame from the Sanctic chart -GK vehicles can't use Vortex of Doom (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!), but have Banishment and Sanctuary Downside: Teleporting your Land-Raiders is gone, and the Brotherhood Banner now does next to nothing (no auto-pass force weapon activation anymore)

Rune-priests get +1 to Deny the Witch, so that's a 4+ straight up, maybe more if you're a Level 2 on 1? I'm okay with this. Though did the 6th Edition FAQs completely get rid of the SW psychic powers? That's kinda bullshit.

serious gaylord posted:All of the FAQ's are up. "Q. How do I determine the arc of sight for a Heldrake's ranged weapon? A: Treat the Heldrake's ranged weapon as a hull mounted weapon, measuring all ranges and line of sight from the barrel of the gun." Is this a new change? That seems like a fairly significant nerf for a Heldrake.

No more making GBS threads fire out of it's arse? Good. Edit: I notice there's no FAQ for Codex: Inquisition there either. Wonder if they couldn't be arsed, or if you're expected to download a fresh version entirely. I don't know how they handle updates to mobi books.

Space Wolves and Blood Angels can't use their unique psychic powers anymore. Say goodbye to Mephiston flying or hitting at S10. I'm kind of shocked that Shadow in the Warp and Tzeentch Daemons not getting any update on how they affect psykers.

I don't mind seeing Heldrakes taken down a peg personally. They're probably still pretty dangerous, just not as much so. I don't like that the new FAQs invalidated Space Wolves and Blood Angels psychic powers though. They're all generated from the rulebook now. It makes sense for consistency's sake and it's just a stopgap, but it kinda bites in the interim. e;fb

I miss my old GK librarian, there was nothing quite like teleporting an immobilized Land Raider across the battlefield to get better LOS.

Heldrakes are pretty junk now. One attack on Vector Strike just isn't enough to be reliable damage against vehicles and the Baleflamer alone doesn't really justify 170 points.

As a Chaos player, I'm totally fine with the Heldrake nerf. A significant drop in power, but it's still a really useful model for the points. What I can't believe is that Shadows in the Warp is left unchanged (and therefore, useless). Then again, I reckon Tyranids getting shafted should really stop surprising me.

TheChirurgeon posted:It's colossally stupid--Heldrakes are now no longer able to move their heads left to right, despite having a lengthy neck! Well you see GW has figured that they've sold all the Heldrake units they ever will so the best idea is to nerf them so people have to buy bikers or spawn Nah but honestly it could have just been a solid 180-degree arc like walkers and I would've been fine with that. The previous 360-degree turret arc was dumb, but this might be a bit too much.

So it appears that the psychic power card set was straight up lying about what powers certain codices could take? Since the FAQ says that e.g. CSM sorcerors can take Daemonology now, but says nothing about Divination.

Since it's a Torrent weapon, it can still drop the template in a LOT of places. It just can't drop it everywhere anymore. The bigger nerf was the loss of the D3 Vector Strikes to ground targets.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I'm reading the Imperial Knight FAQ and it's really quite funny. "Ignore all the rules in the book. Except for that one box on the bottom right." Better yet- Knight Warlords are characters, so they can make challenges. "HEY. HEY PUNY HUMAN. I CHALLENGE YOU TO SINGLE COMBAT. JUST YOU, ME, AND A ROBOT THE SIZE OF A SKYSCRAPER." PierreTheMime posted:They didn't even change Dominion to function properly, goddamn. I'm just going to email them a huge list of current problems and see what comes back. Ugh. Dominion works just fine, except on the first turn of the game? Blessings last until your next psychic phase, remember, so if you cast Dominion last turn, it will still be in effect when you have to make IB tests. That can be awkward, but it can also be useful ('cause you can frontload your spending.) Warlocks and Pink Horrors being able to cast from Daemonology is ridiculously huge. It's... it's just gonna be amazingly dumb.

Daedleh posted:It's forging the narrative man. Keep up. You say this in jest, but sadly I feel this is the case. Xenos are the bad guys and the bad guys are supposed to lose; and lose in the most cinematic way possible while the proud Humans and Super-Humans stand triumphant. Space Marines and IG keep getting better, while all the "evil" Xenos keep getting worse. Admittedly it is mostly worse through neglect, but worse is still worse. Though if I'm totally honest with myself, odds are I'm putting more thought into it than the GW designers did. They just throw poo poo at a wall and see what the result is, they don't seem invested enough to care about what they are doing to some armies. GW strawman:  Fan boy better-man:  Psykers are cool. Lets make them into Space Wizards and have them be incredibly powerful. But some races don't get Psykers. So what? And these rules you made aren't very true to the fluff. Also some Psychic races are badly represented. Look at my awesome Grey Knights! They just summoned a Greater Daemon! That is so cool. Sigh...
