New 40K Erratas and FAQs are Up

If the DP is going against a Flyer, he would vector strike (count as firing 1 weapon) then fire Bolt of Tzeentch on it from behind.

I wouldn't spend additional 30 points just to get that 3 S5 AP3 off. Like you said before, cheap is good.

And breath of chaos is a must have when you have many other stuff all hiding in cover.

Yup yup, cheap is good!! Regardless which config people use, Daemonic FMCs are much-much scarier now.

Combo with a Slaanesh DP with Paavane to pull enemy units to come closer towards your Tzeentch DP's BoC..COOL!! (My favourite is pulling units & forcing them to jump from atop battlements/buildings/bastions/high level ruins!! SWEET!! Any survivors will eat BoC template in their face!! Cheeze!!)

I've said it before & I'll say it again..it's time for GW to make Eldar Firestorm & Eldar Hornet as official!!

@CikguDin, Joe : Just checkin, what is the mastery level of DP in Chaos Daemon codex? CSM's DP is only Mastery Lvl1, can only manifest one Psychic power per turn...

Daemonic FMCs are not psykers. Most of they their funky offensive stuffs are just shooting capabilities. No mastery nonsense involved.

CHEEZE!!

@Sundalbolong : Yup bro.. but only PSword and PAxe. Now you can actually hurt those termies in combat

@Sunldelbolong: Tapi itu Dann sudah convert semua SG dia pakai tombak kekeke!!! Nasib baik tak kena follow rules power-lance/spears kekeke !!

Bro... not "MOST" but "ALLLLL!!"

So, a player can now purposely attempt to immobilize his squadrons of Leman Russes so that they can fire at different targets later on.

Move onto/over terrain-hope to immobilize-leave the immo tank behind-techpriest goes in to repair.

and lose a hull point in the process? go right ahead

Question: Shining Spears' laser lance = due to their special rules, do we consider them as extraordinary power weapons i.e AP3 regardless if charging or being charged?

They are only power weapons when they charge if I read the codex clearly.

I don't see why "unusual power weapons" would make them ALWAYS count as power weapons, whether or not they charge. "No FAQ concerning Shining Spears either, why is the question posted here in the first place anyway"

If anything, the Laser Lance rule just makes this power weapons AP3 (because of Unusual Power Weapons) and do not follow the rules for normal power weapons (which in this case, would be a normal power lance) but instead follow the rules in the codex. Codex > Rulebook.

Was taking a slow read at the FAQ and saw this:

Q: Do units that are transported in a vehicle that MUST start in
reserve count towards the number of units that can be placed in
Reserves? For example, must I count the units in a Drop Pod or
Valkyrie towards the 50% of units I can place in Reserves? (p124)

A: No.

Means that units that are in Stormravens don't count towards the number. Right? Assuming I'm reading it slow enough.

yes, that's correcto

I've put this combo in my army list entry, but still not sure about its validity.

If I put a special unit/model in base contact with a gun emplacement, the most popular being the Quad-Guns, then can the model use his special abilities/skills in conjunction with the gun emplacement's shots?

Example:-

Fuegan/Fire Dragon Exarch. Both have Tank Hunter & Crack Shot skills. As far as I know, these skills are not limited to any kinds of weapons, be it fushion guns, flamer, firepike, grenades/bombs, close-combat attacks (no Crack Shot here of course)...etc etc..

If either of these two models man the Quad-Guns, they should be able to fire-off 4 T/L S7 shots at 2+ to-hit, with the ability to re-roll all failed armour penetration rolls which also ignore cover svs in addition to have Skyfire & Interceptor rules.

These are correct, yes?

Yes

Next question: Eldar Psy-power - DOOM

Unlike their other psy-powers, the Doom psy-power enables any failed wounding hits towards the target model/unit be re-rolled. The spell description did not mention the re-rolling part being applicable to wounds caused by Eldar models/units only.

Lets say for example, a unit of Khorne Berzerkers has been afflicted by Doom. Can my allied models/units (regardless whether they are batltlebrothers/ ally of convenience / desperate ally) re-roll their wounding rolls if they target the Doomed Khorne Berzerkers unit?

I always thought it's a yes.

yup, unless it has been FAQed like our Fateweaver ability only allow friendly units from the codex: Chaos Daemons to benefit from that rule.

Next question - DE's Lelith Hesperax.

Her special rule The Penetrating Blade states that "Her attacks ignore armour saves."

Regardless of its name, after reading this rule slow enough, the word "attack" as underlined above does not only referring to her close combat attacks right? In fact, it covers ALL of her attacks - close combat & shooting attacks.

Thus, when she throws her plasma grenade, the effect against non-vehicle models would be S4 Blast ignore armour saves!? Yeouch !!

Nope.. because no one would accept that. The RAI over this is too clear.

Aniway, the 1st sentence in her rules said "..delivered her blows in uncanny precision..". Blows refers to close combat attacks only.

Is it just me or has the cheese level gone up in M'sia since I left?

@jake: it's just you..from my observation, the cheese level remained the same, which is very high when compared to UK standards..

Betul eh? I mean, about Lelith's ability? Phew, that is good, cuz i don't wana be at the receiving end of ignoring armour sv plasma grenades!

@Vuel & Aznjake: What cheeze levels? All seems normal to me.

Cikgu, I don't think anyone will even have the nuts to tell their opponents that the plasma grenade will ignore armour saves. That's just plain absurdity.

.. seriously, nobody plays Lelith wat.
