Every three or four months you come around and post about your pile of 2nd edition Nids and then never do anything other than buy more to throw in more boxes. No one cares about them.

So by that logic, Divination is only on CSM because of a single relic in a supplemental codex.

Seems reasonable. There's no real way to extrapolate rules from that chart otherwise.

Also it should be a hard rule that you can't use that power without the models. If someone tried to do some 30 dice poo poo on me (not that I would play them) it's unacceptable to have a poo poo eating grin and put down grots or whatever the gently caress they think is an acceptable proxy.
Are you really that peeved by someone using proxies in a "let's test the upper limit" list two days after the edition drops?

The Eldar FAQ states that Psychic Pilots can generate powers from Daemononology in addition to the spell listed in their army entry. How does that work? It's ML1 so surely it doesn't get any additional spells?

You can give up Terrify to take a Daemonology spell.

Easiest way of determining it for multiple rolls is finding how likely it is to not get it and subtracting that from one.

Odds of getting Possession on ML1 is 1 - (5/6) = 1/6

Odds of getting Possession on ML2 is 1 - (5/6*4/5) = 1/3

Odds of getting Possession on ML3 is 1 - (5/6*4/5*3/4) = 1/2

Odds of getting at least one possession with 4 ML3s and 12 ML1s is 1 - ((1/2)^4*(5/6)^12). I'm on my phone so plug that into Google or something.

I gave you the chances that any particular mastery level dude gets a particular power, so you know the chances for a Herald or a Wyrdvane or whatever.

To determine if any in a group of psykers get at least one particular power, you multiply the chances that they don't get the power together and subtract that from one.

Example, the chance that three ML2 psykers and one ML3 psyker get at least one possession is 1 - (1/2*1/2*1/2*5/6) or 43/48, or about 88 percent.

So Kans now have their little morale rule, and Stompas give Fearless to all models within 6". If I have Kans near a Stompa do I not have to pay any attention to their new morale rule?

Nope, the only way to mitigate it is to have a Deff Dread nearby. Stompas and Naughts don't help. They killed Kans this edition; their Klaws are only S7.

Ok, I've got an force org question:

I've got IA8, with the Dread Mob Army list in it. Are the FW army lists supplements or are they their own codexes? Can I take formations from Waaagh Ghazghkull or do I have to have an allied Ork detachment that can THEN take formations?

Trying to be battle bound or whatever the gently caress is getting confusing. Also Lords of War are in the normal force org now? Do they still give out VP for hurting them like in 6th?

IA army lists are like codexes. Army list creation is actually rather simple, just different from how it worked before.

  • You can take any number of detachments, whether they are a Combined Arms Detachment (the standard Force Org with one Fortification and one Lord of War slot, abbreviated CAD), Allied Detachment (works the same as in 6th), a Formation, an Ork Horde Detachment, and any other kind of Detachments, like an Inquisitorial or Knight detachment.
  • A detachment will have a single Faction, such as Ork, Chaos Space Marines, or Dark Eldar. You can mix and match any and all Factions, with the caveat that
  • Detachments will interact with each other according to the Allies Chart.
  • Your warlord can be any Character in any slot from any of the Detachments, aside from an Allied Detachment. The Detachment your Warlord is in is the Primary Detachment. If you don't have any characters your Warlord can be any model, but it won't have a Trait.

For example, you army can have a CAD with the Faction of Necrons, and a Bully Boyz formation from Waaagh! Ghazghkull, with the Faction of Orks. You can make the Warlord one of the Necron models, in which case it will reroll it's trait due to the CAD's Ideal Mission Commander rule. You could also choose one of the Bully Boyz squad leaders to be the Warlord, which will not be able to reroll the trait. The Necron CAD's troops will still have Objective Secured regardless.

You can make an entire army of Formations, if you want.

Heavy Support is the problem now that Lootas are no longer elite. Wagons are going to be at an increasing premium if you need to mech up. You can take BW with Mega-Nobz and hide trukks behind them for a turn or two.

Blasts only need the possibility of a reroll to be rerolled, so it's not quite as cut and dry. It's a big dumb question that I really hoped 7th would solve. There's no good answer and it's best to leave it at that. There's ten page threads on Dakka if you want to read more.
