Updated FAQs (January 2012)

Recommended Posts

Few changes to other codex's that will have an impact on us. Lash needs to roll to hit and is used at the same time as other shooting from the squad, warptime will Reroll all of the dice if chosen to usedl, fire frenzy for chaos dreads is via their front arc, shadows in the warp does now work vs psykers in vehicles, those are the main ones that will effect me based on my usual opponents :D

The summoning works with Mystics? Really!

 

Good work GW. Waste precious FAQ update times with answering a question that hasn't ever been asked.

 

It's not like there are a wealth of actual rules issues that need to be clarified instead. Like how many dice your roll for Cleansing Flame, or how Mordrak and Thawn actually work...

let me check . psychic hoods in every army . check . mecha in 5th ed so lash doesnt work on transported units . check . add a to hit to the power when other shoting powers that dont wound dont get it[jaws , blood lance] . check again .

 

And if you had problems with chaos and lash playing GK .well then I have no idea what kind of an army you are using . But probably everything is too OP for such an army.

:) jeske and his mono-builds that absolutely everyone plays. First up, there aren't hoods in every army. Not everyone uses mech. But let's pretend for a moment that you're right:

psychic hoods in every army . check .
True before the FAQ? Check.

 

mecha in 5th ed so lash doesnt work on transported units . check .
True before the FAQ? Check.

 

add a to hit to the power when other shoting powers that dont wound dont get it[jaws , blood lance] . check again .
JotWW and Lance draw a line to designate a target, so your comparison is inherently flawed. Find another Shooting power that doesn't draw a line and doesn't roll to hit. :P They're just bringing Lash's rules in line with everything else.

 

Point is, pre-FAQ and post-FAQ, the power works exactly the same except you need to not roll a 1 to make it hit the target. If that breaks your army, like I said in the Chaos forum:

 

I'm sorry fellas :D

But the way you insist on things being absolutely true and absolutely broken forever really makes my sympathy slip away.

I often appreciate jeske's insight, because you're right, he does look at things in a very practical fashion. But when he insists that everyone always plays the same army lists all the time, and certain units/wargear/abilities work all the time and certain other units/wargear/abilities never ever work... :)

Waste of time in the Space Wolves FAQ, too. Really only one issue that ever gets argued anymore and in classic GW style they address something nobody had confusion about.

yeah and If I was wrong then stuff would never be FAQed you wouldnt even have rule books because you could narrate or just come to terms how each model/weapon/gear works . People do bad stuff all the time , rules are there to stop them from doing it . Even with rules people try to break them .

 

besides your not going to tell me that you can walk in to a store or a club plop down your army and inform your opponent that you dont have the full codex , but you did print the stuff your army is actualy using in your list right now . It is not just tournaments who say that to use stuff you need the rule book for it [and models . what is offten the case with FW stuff].

;) What? What does your opinions about everyone always plays the same list forever and these things work perfectly all the time but these other things always fail forever have to do with GW FAQ'ing things? Or printing rule books? GW FAQs things at their own pace and their answers are haphazard at best.

 

Unless you'd like to take credit for GW FAQing Lash and Warptime? :woot:

 

People do bad stuff all the time , rules are there to stop them from doing it . Even with rules people try to break them .

Rules are there to give you the framework for how to play the game; they're not there to stop people from breaking the rules. You're right that people do bad stuff all the time, but then it becomes our job to know who those people are and to not play them anymore :) No muss, no fuss. GW does not have absolute power to legislate from afar what everyone in the world does or doesn't do on their gaming tables. GW sets up the framework and it is up to us, the players, to make sure it gets followed.

:huh: What are you talking about? What does printing stuff out and not having the rulebooks have to do with anything in this thread?

wrong FAQ thread

 

 

Or printing rule books?

again wrong FAQ thread . sob people cant get their WD dex right now and the anwser from GW was that they neither plan to repring the dex/WD , nor are there plans to make it pdf . Kind of a sucks for them . kind of a makes them well screwed hard . specialy if someone decided to buy the army now .

 

 

as the same army goes . Well I dont see neither in real life in mainland europe , nor on the many sites those totaly different armies that blow my mind and make me thing how they work [with the assumption that the list works] . I can say that people dont use X or Y because they dont [lets says venguard and sm dex ] . And if they do then the list is bad build and bad list do not exist for me . Just like I dont assume that my opponent is stupid I do not assume he made a list full of spawns . If he does ? well then it is his problem the list doesnt exist because the chance to see a crazy person using them is close to 0 . Now on the other hand when someone says he plays a puri spam or draigo wing everyone knows how the list works etc.
