Night Scythe Buff / Clarification

A: Yes – follow the rules for Embarking on page 78, treating
the Night Scythe’s base as its Access Point. Note that this is
possible despite the Night Scythe being a Zooming Flyer.

Awwwesome !

This is fantastic news all around.. And great timing for tooncon. Now i want to bring chaos even though inspent the last three nights painting coteaz up.

But im am very impressed theyngot these out quick AND addressed some major errors

Its nice to see daemon weapons as ap 2. Fateweaver got changed to only give its benefit to units from the daemons codex.

They also fixed up the icon issue for daemons/csm to how its worded. Csm can come in on daemon icons.. But.daemons cant come in on csm icons.

Nice, bout time.

They didnt address Adam's Fighta Ace tho did they?

Just working through the rulebook faq now.. Its a big one. First thing that caught my eye besides some of marks stuff, if your swooping and get grounded.. You are now gliding.

Wow, 3+ save for Tau Hammerheads...

Page 30 – Armoury, Disruption Pod.
Change the last sentence to read “A vehicle with a disruption
pod has the Shrouded special rule against any weapons firing
from more than 12" away.”

Tau stuffs

Q: Can any kind of Tau Drones ever be considered characters? For
example if attached to a character with a Drone Controller? (p31)
A: No.
Q: If a Tau character is involved in a challenge, can any Drones they
have strike blows, have Wounds allocated to them, or offer Moral
Support? (p31)
A: No.

Nothing on Fighta Ace, but I'll check my digital copy tonight.

WOW, Gw actually fixed that...

I am getting really impressed with their new support for 6th ed all around.

Also, no more all chracter elite squads, very nice.

I don't understand the significance of this errata.

Page 81 – Mindshackle Scarabs.
Change the first sentence to read “At the start of the Fight subphase,
after charges have been made, but before any blows are
struck, randomly select a non-vehicle enemy model in base
contact with the bearer of the mindshackle scarabs.”

How did it read before, Mark?

found one i'm happy to see addressed as i've been arguing this is how it plays out on bolter and chainsword with some stubborn ppls:

Q: Can the BS1 of a Snap Shot ever be modified by special rules that modify the BS of a model’s Shooting attack (such as Tau markerlights, Space Marine Signums or Sergeant Telion’s Voice of Experience)? (p13)
A: No

to summarize; some of them were stating you can choose in what order a signum, or telions VoE kicks in, and have one guy shoot flyers at BS5/6. which i stated you couldn't because snapfire's not a BS modifier, just a natural "you only hit if you roll a 6" rule. so yay, i had it right,

here's another interesting one to note if you guys face a scout army:

Q: The rulebook states "A unit that makes a Scout redeployment cannot charge in the first turn." Does this mean that if your opponent has the first turn and you go second, your Scouting unit can charge? (p41)
A: Yes.

Q: Do hits by Tau markerlights, or other items of wargear that cause hits but do not inflict damage, require a Swooping Flying Monstrous Creature to take a Grounded test. (p49)
A: Yes.

wow; thought this people were agreeing was not the case. guess markerlights will get to be a favorite against those then?

My old copy of the FAQ is on the iPad...

I think it's supposed to deal with the "Do mindshackle scarabs take effect before or after a challenge is issued" thing.

There was some shenanigans going on where on an opponents turn, the sequence of events would allow a character to issue a challenge. then resolve mindshackle scarabs before accepting or declining the challenge. since in a challenge mindshackle could only work on a model in the duel, but since nobody had accepted yet, the mindshackles would resolve and fizzle and then the guy would resolve accepting or declining the challenge.
