Hail brothers! Ive been looking to get back into 40k and the last game I had was at the start of 7th. Needless to say something have changed... Im confused about a few things and il love some help with it as I cant seem to find the anwser myself.... 1: I recently got my blood angel codex. Drop pods cant transport deadnoughts anymore? 2: How does fighting work? I seem to recall reading that they can use all the weapons that your models have, even firing at different targets if you want. But ive heard locally that youre supposed to split your attacks in melee between the weapons that you got, but I cant find a rule that confirms this? Or am I just reading over it? 3: command points. Im joining a tourney soon (to get back into a hobby in a spectacular fashion ) and the rulepacks says 'you get the standard 3 CP's for your army'. But I cant for the life of me where this rule is stated. Do you always get 3 CP's? Ive only seen formations that give you CP's if you meet the minimal requirements.... 4: Using rules from the index vs the rulebook. Ive heard this from alot of sources but cant find where its stated. To give 1 example, I want to take a sanguinary priest, but my codex doesent have options for him to take these. If the unit entry did have options in the index (which it does) I can use those so long as I pay for the point costs of the upgrades in my codex. Where is this ruling located? I cant find it and I dont want to make a tournament invalid unit so hence why im asking so intensely.... 5: Transports. I cant for the life of me find how you get these now. They have point costs and everything but units no longer allow you to bring a transport along. Do you just buy them as seperate units now? Is a dedicated transport even still a thing? 6: Deepstriking. Im confused about the mechanic abit (maybe because I played previous editions for so long....) can you just shoot and assault with deepstriking units now? The rule doesent seem to forbid it.It just restricts where you setup. 7: How does charging and retreating work? Do you just move your unit to within 1 inch in the movement phase? How does retreating work? Do you literally just casually stroll out of combat? Because that seems....weird to me. 8: Strategems. Exacly when do you determine how to use these? I noticed some are used before the battle (so army selection) while others seem to have specific triggers. But do you to go like 'aha, you activated my trap card. im using X CP's to do Y' when it is in response to an enemy? So in essence youd have to halt the game for it abit? Because im abit afraid it gets abused to pull people out of their game 9: Wound calculations. How do wounds transfer to other models (or you know, not travel to other models)? Ive noticed that some weapons (notably heavy ones) do D6 or some such variable damage numbers. Can these wounds transfer to other models or can you max kill 1 model with these? If so, when do you roll for saves? Before or after deciding how much wounds they cause. I guess im asking which order is valid: a: you roll to wound. If you succesfully wound you roll for the amount of wounds and then the one getting shot at rolls saves for that many wounds. OR b: You roll to wound. If you wound your opponent rolls his save. If he fails you then see how many wounds you cause. I think these questions can be anwsered by (re)reading the rulebook abit more but ive tried like 3 times now. I cant find the anwsers to these
