I modelled my Tyrannocytes on the ground so I could still make the big spore mines, but now It could be argued that's modelling for advantage :/

"Modelling for advantage" =/= "modelling against disadvantage built in by a shitlord who intentionally harms the army"

As someone who also used the big tentacles to make Mucolids, it's nice not needing a horsebox towed behind my car to transport the otherwise ridiculously-sized Tyrannocytes.

On the plus side, Drop Pods have been cleared up

Q: Do Space Marine Drop Pod doors count as solid walls that
block line of sight?
A: No.
Q: Are Drop Pod doors ignored for game purposes
once deployed?
A: Yes.


Also, the extra attacks for Helbrutes and other dreadnoughts stuck around to become official

I've got a couple of these ones.

Q: You cannot usually move before a game starts. How do
you resolve results 1 and 2 on the Cult Ambush table for
Infiltrating units?
A: They move on from the specified board edge, despite
the fact it is not a Movement phase, but following the
usual movement rules. These units count as having come
in from Reserves.

Q: If a unit uses Cult Ambush to Infiltrate, can they move in
the first game turn?
A: Yes.

So... apparently Cult Ambush doesn't actually count as the Movement Phase and you can make a normal move.

Yeah, it's not assaulting, but considering 1 and 2 was "you're deploying normally or outflanking" before, it's now you're deploying normally or outflanking 12" :unsmigghh:

Q: On the Mob Rule table, a result of 4-6 states that ‘A brawl
breaks out as the Orks decide what to do. When the dust settles,
nobody can remember what the trouble was about in the first
place’. Shouldn’t the subsequent hits then be Strength 3 rather
than 4, as that is the base strength of Boyz?

Can you imagine somebody bringing one, or even TWO, and concentrating their fire onto your beautiful new Magnus the Red™ or Lord of Change™ model and evaporating it from the table? Though those may be large enough to get both weapons on. Honestly I'm all for reducing the value of super-heavies but this seems like a ham-fisted way to do it.

I'm aware that I'm dumb and tired tonight, but I still don't get why those arcs are offset like that. They aren't based on the forward facing, or physical positioning of the guns, or the hull of the vehicle.
