New 40KRulebook FAQ....

This part has to be my favorite though:

 

Q: If an Independent Character is going to begin a game

joined to a unit when should this be done? (p48)

A: You should nominate which Independent Characters are

joining units at the start of deployment before you place

any units on the board. Note that this should be done

before you nominate which units are being held in

Reserve, Deep Strike or are Outflanking etc.

It doesn't cause Fearless true...but does it still count as "automatically passing a morale test by some other means"? That wasn't necessarily answered, nor does this one apply to any other unit but Calgar's...would it have been so hard to just say "Any unit using Calgar's God of War does not count as "automatically passing a morale test."
Q: Does a unit being transported by a vehicle that has

arrived by Deep Stike that turn also count as having

arrived by Deep Strike? (p95)

A: Yes.

 

which means that the INQ unit that can target DSing units can also target any unit coming out of a drop pod or LSS etc

They always could, however as per the INQ FAQ, its an eith or. They may choose to fire at teh drop pod OR the unit that disembarks from it, but not both.

calgar does not count as automatically passing because you can choose to fail <_<

Do we really want to get into this one again? Because automaticly passing doesnt have to mean without choice- for example calgar allows you to pass automatically- ie without a dice roll. If you have a flamer and you shoot at a unit the models underneath are hit automatically- even though you could have chosen not to shoot it at all.

Care to explain why?

My own personal favourite is this little gem. The final nail in the coffin for a RAI (by which he means RAIWT) player I know. :D

 

Q: What is meant when the term ʻturnʼ is used? (p9)

A: Whenever the word turn is used it means player turn.

Otherwise it will clearly state game turn. In a complete

game turn both players get a player turn. Hence one game

turn will comprise two player turns.

The best part is that one is copy/paste from the rulebook.

Yes, but as he kept nagging about logic and how thinking the "turn" in "what happens when a transport moves flat out and is destroyed in the same turn" doesn't mean game turn was illogical. *sigh*

 

At least now I can point to a FAQ and not just the rulebook.

 

His response when I showed it to him?

 

He called it stupid. :rolleyes:

Don't worry bro. He doesn't have to like it or even get it. He just has to obey it. ;)

:lol:

 

The more he gets exposed to how GW thinks, the more he'll be able to 'get with it' on future rules queries. GW has a cultural thinking and you become familiar with it over time ^_^

You'd think a good 4 years would do the trick.

 

Then again, he's the sort who quotes statistics and tries to teach others (who've been in the hobby longer than him) army building at the drop of a hat...
