I'm not even mad at that...I'll weigh that against the options I picked yesterday: DS, scatter only d6, plus get Shrouded from shimmering sparky bitz & such, no assault out of DS (though that's definitely going back to Vulcha Skwad). Thanks!

Every now and then instead of getting a song stuck in my head I'll get quotes from something. It happens with the Commissar's voice more often than not. Sometimes it gets mixed up with the Priest voice. "We lost because you were all weak!" They're just really fun voices to do when you're all alone and no one can hear you saying stupid stuff to yourself or your cats.

Brewsuke posted:What 40k FAQs? I'm not smart. I think its kinda evil genius actually. They get you to say "oh man I'd love a new army with one of these and one of these and one of those, and if I really got anything I wanted gimme 3 of those other guys too" And then because most people don't win, they're left there looking at an army list they just put together of poo poo they really want, and its like, welp, shopping list. It won't work on everybody but if even a few people go "well drat, I just made this cool army, guess I'll just have to buy it the old fashioned way" it pays off.

So, I've been dicking around in battlescribe. And I think I created a fun list with sweet dudes in, and also PS I am more stoked to have a fun force than to maxmin everything. That said, are there points I'm wasting or things I should just drop completely because they never make their points up? I wanted to run sang guard instead of DC but they're just so expensive. Sang priest w bolter and jump pack 5 DC two fists 10 tacs w heavy flamer, sarg w b&c, drop pod 6 man scouts w rifles and flak Baal predator Storm Raven las and melta Wolf Lord w 2 wolves, shield and fist 5 grey hunters w flamer 3 thunderwolf w shields, 2 fists one claw Ethereal w armor and 2 markers 10 pulserifles and a missile turret 3 xv8 w 4 markers, two missles (velocity tracker) tl plasma rifle (target lock), missile pod and ion blaster (target lock) ...

There are at least some nuggets of useful information in there among the questions like "how many attacks do I get for pistol + CCW" or "how does FNP apply to vehicles": - the controlling player gets to pick whatever is considered the "best save" for a model - a model can only attempt to cast as many powers in a turn as it has ML (something which was implied but not really stated IIRC) - witchfires without a weapon profile don't need to roll to hit (specifically calling out Psychic Shriek) - Hit and Run stops at the table edge E: also - a model can only have one Relic/Artefact.

A unit can destroy a transport and then charge the unit in inside during the same turn. Kickass.

Actually we've played it that you can't, since the shooting target was the vehicle. I guess that's bad news for my DE.

Thanks! Hugely backing this project as my friend is basically the biggest Warboss I know. We did an alright job of patching it but I'm too busy/lazy to really focus on getting it looking proppa shiny boss. A PDF would be amazing.

e:fb on the faq. Still, good reading so far, happy to see all the poo poo they've clarified. E: HUGE clarification on summoned units--the summoning player chooses whether they arrive swooping or gliding if they are FMCs. TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 20:02 on May 4, 2016 |

It is explicity stated in the rulebook under "Effect of damage on passengers" quote:If a Transport is destroyed by a shooting attack, any unit that shot it that turn can, if allowed, charge the now disembarked passengers. Half of those FAQ questions have been asked by people that do not play the game, do not own a rulerbook or both.

TTerrible posted:Models can no longer move through ruin walls. Link. Some crazy stuff: the void shield got mega nerfed you can't toe in with FMC's anymore, You can choose what flavor of blood thirster you want when you summon one, when you choose if you are on the ground or not when you summon FMCs, you can jink if not targeted, can't vectorstrike if jinking, 360* shooting with super heavy walkers, you can only use one grenade in CC, you don't consolidate off of walkers, salvo most likely uses the big number when snap firing, you measure to the base against bikes/arty, LOS can be drawn from any point on the model, jinking transports make the contents jink, can't start battle bros in allied transports, wobbly model syndrome means you can't move block crash stunned enemy fliers, same name blessings/maledictions don't stack, range D templates make one roll for the whole template, you can multiassault with one model, you now scout after seize.
