[Errata] Bugs, misprints, omissions, et al

[Kastor Krieg]

I will be editing this thread as people point out editing problems.

• Belial may or may not have an Iron Halo. It's in his description, not in his listing.
  
• Armoury does not have Plasma Talons as Rapid Fire.
  
• Darkshroud Land Speeder has Stealth in its entry, while in the description it's Shrouded and gives Stealth to others.
  
• The Nephilim's missiles have Missile Lock, but are not of a scattering Blast / Large Blast / Ordnance / Barrage type. Possible that the rule was intended for the Dark Talon instead.
  
• Page 67 - Lion's Roar. the final sentence of the italicised paragraph refers to the weapon as "Lion's Wrath".
  
• Page 96 - Ravenwing Command Squads "may take a banner from the Relic Banners section of the wargear list." There is no such section so this should say "Sacred Standards", like the other command squads.\
  
• Asmodai's complete lack of shooting weapons is a potential omission of at least a bolt pistol, given that his Blades are a Specialist Weapon and cannot be used in combination with the Crozius. Additionally, even the new model has a holstered bolt pistol on it.
  
• Standard of Devastation - the rules for SoD say "all boltguns", which (in accordance with the p. 56 BRB weapon classification) means that everything from bolt pistol to Vulcan Mega Bolter (all of them listed under "boltguns" heading and described as such) becomes a Salvo 2/4 weapon in the SoD's range. Obviously, only bolters were intended (which also includes combi-bolters, but not storm bolters, heavy bolters, etc.).
  
• Techmarines are not specifically excluded from taking a Ravenwing Command Squad while mounted on a Bike like they are specifically excluded from taking a Command Squad while on foot, Page 96.
  

Everyone's welcome to chime in. Actual bugs, typos and other editing / proofreading problems, not "broken" rules, please. Thanks!

From the digital version

Masters first paragraph is from vampire counts

Tech marine first para graph is from librarians

Deathwing knights entry, the mace doesn't link to it's unless, only works in the army list entry.

wow ive not got the new dex yet but does he really noyt have a iron halo in belials wargear, that must be a mistake as the profile he has online under the models description he has one under his wargear there

[Kastor Krieg]

spu00sed:

Thanks for the input, mate, but I will limit this to the physical dex, as I do not have access to the digital version and cannot verify. Also, the discrepancies between digital and physical dex are of a bit less concern, as the physical dex is considered the "actual" one, rules-wise and so on. Especially since the digital can be updated and modified on the fly and has stunning problems which you mention, like whole paragraphs from other books (VC Armybook, :cuss?!).

 

cypher 89:

Yes, I consider that a misprint (there should be an iron halo in his wargear at the end of the book, too), that is why it's been placed in the errata.

[Ushtarador]

The Nephilim has the missile lock special rule, but no template weapons. Makes one wonder if they missed something there.

[Kastor Krieg]

Ah, forgot that one. Thanks!

RE: Belial's halo: That's interesting, the Spanish Codex has it in both his unit entry and army list block. Unless 'aura de hierro' means something else, and Company Masters don't have an iron halo either (and I'm pretty sure 'aura de hierro' is iron halo). Unless you mean that the English Codex has a third page that lists his wargear and it's missing from there too?

[Cactus]

Found in the limited edition codex:

 

Page 67 - Lion's Roar. the final sentence of the italicised paragraph refers to the weapon as "Lion's Wrath".

 

Page 96 - Ravenwing Command Squads "may take a banner from the Relic Banners section of the wargear list." There is no such section so I assume this should say "Sacred Standards" like the other command squads.

[Kastor Krieg]

Nope, it's there by his fluffy description on p. 56, but not on p. 92 in the HQ listing. If the Spanish version does indeed have it in both of those places, we can safely confirm that he's supposed to have it.

 

Page 67 - Lion's Roar. the final sentence of the italicised paragraph refers to the weapon as "Lion's Wrath".

 

Page 96 - Ravenwing Command Squads "may take a banner from the Relic Banners section of the wargear list." There is no such section so I assume this should say "Sacred Standards" like the other command squads.

 

Thanks!

i noticed in another forum someone mentioned alot the mis prints are only in the limited ed dex , just throwing it out there as i not got the dex yet

[Kastor Krieg]

Really? That has to suck for anyone who paid for the pretty and got stiffed. All of the above entries are concerned with the basic hardcover dex, the thing most of us have.

[cielaq]

Kastor Krieg, you've written that Dark Talon has Missile Lock, instead of Nephilim- a typo in typo list. :)

It would actually be quite useful rule for Dark Talon.

 

I'm not sure it's a typo, but Asmodai has no shooting weapons.

[Kastor Krieg]

Herp derp, mixed up the names of the flyers. Maybe GW intended it for the Dark Talon instead? Fixing errata.

 

Asmodai without weapons is not an obvious editing fault, so I can't put it in the errata, sorry.

 

Once we get more of the bugs and problems, I will make a summary report and send it with a request to the GW's FAQ email.

[cielaq]

Well, as I've written, I'm not sure it's a typo, but still it's worth asking GW if it's mistake, or is he limited to "shooting" grenades. :)

[Kastor Krieg]

Fair enough, added.

[Spaced Hulk]

A couple of other things I've noticed:

 

In the armoury, in the ranged weapons section it states you may exchange a models bolt pistol and/or close combat weapon for a bolter, storm bolter etc. However, as far as I can see, the only model armed with a ccw and with access to the armoury is a Scout Srg/Vet Scout Srg. Everybody else has a chainsword. In previous editions this wouldn't really have mattered, but in 6th a chainsword is a seperate weapon to a ccw with it's own stats (even though those stats are the same).

 

Similarly, in the melee weapons section, it allows a model to exchange just one weapon for either a power weapon, power fist etc. This means it's impossible for a Company Master or squad Sergeant to have a pair of lightning claws, or a power sword & power mace, or lightning claw & power fist etc etc. Although this certainly isn't the end of the world, it could be irritating to players with specific model conversions, and considering the flexibility most codices give when arming characters these days, it seems more likely that it's an editing error rather than intentional.

 

In addition, while you said you're not that interested in variations between the hardback & digital versions, I'm wondering if there's a significant discrepancy in the Company Veterans entry. The hardback version allows up to 3 models to be armed with a power weapon, combi-weapon etc, while I think I've heard that the digital version allows ANY model to upgrade. I don't personally have the digital version though so not 100% sure on this.

[Brother Immolator]

My copy has Belials Ironhalo in his wargear section. And plasma talon is rapid fire. How is it possible yours are missing?

 

 

Azs weapon is indeed refered as Lions wrath though! No bolt pistol for Asmodai indeed.

 

EDIT: And the company master comes with an Iron halo in the wargear section too. No my codex is english.

[Onisuzume]

I think it would be a good idea to mention which source has which problems, or the differences between them.

Considering we got three different versions...

Anyhow, the supplier of my regular store messed up so I won't have my codex until wednesday at the earliest.

Kinda hoped to get it in time for my birthday (today). :(

[GlauG]

Page 92, the Army List rather than the "Bestiary" section. :) He has it on p56. The Plasma Talon is Rapid Fire in the summary on the fold-out pages, but not on the entry on p60. That's in the regular UK English dead-tree 'dex.

[Brother Immolator]

Yep, I see what you say, but still since it exists its the way to go right? ;)

[Kastor Krieg]

Yes, it seems that the correct version would be the one where Belial does have the Iron Halo.

[cielaq]

One additional point regarding Asmiodai's lack of pistol - on the model he has one (holstered on the left thigh). If you're going to send the list to GW, you can point it out to them. ;)

[Kastor Krieg]

Good point.

In addition, while you said you're not that interested in variations between the hardback & digital versions, I'm wondering if there's a significant discrepancy in the Company Veterans entry.

I don't personally have the digital version though so not 100% sure on this.

 

Indeed my digital copy allows any number of models to swop their bolter for a power weapons, combi weapons etc

That's the one that is the biggest factor. He doesn't have to have a pistol based on his rules. Not all characters need to have 4-5 Attacks, and since he'd never get them with the Instant Death Blades of Reason, I'm not sure the rules argument would hold weight. What does hold weight to me is that it's on his dang model (which I managed to find a perfect one in my store - no air holes, voids, misalignments or anything - so hopefully FineCast is getting better) so give me Asmodai's pistol!

 

I honestly think that some of these Codex woes are simple Cut-Paste errors. It should have been proofed better before mass production, as it looks like they actually left in things from the old Codex as rules.
