Initial FAQ out now!

That's hilarious.

 

The errata for Company Veterans is *exactly* the same as the errata for the last Codex!

 

This is why I'm reluctant to drop 30 quid on this codex. I would expect a much higher level of proof reading for that price. Seems like it's chock full of rubbish.

but no clarification on DWA! BAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wallbash.gifwallbash.gifwallbash.gif

But we did get Seriphacus.......whistling.gif He

replaces the Interrogator-Chaplain’s Zealot special rule with his

own Litanies of the Dark Angels special rule.

However they don't state what his rule is for the FAQ..................................

Just e-mailed them this issue with Seriphicus' special Litany and all

I've had a look; seems to answer some of the questions that popped up (though not being a DA player I'm not 100% on how many). I will say that I'm disappointed in their quality control. Two columns of errata (not FAQs, Erratas, so mistakes in the book). You could argue that they caught it early, but that seems more luck than judgement since they were doing FAQs for all the other armies now.

 

Also, vaguely off topic, anyone else impressed with the new feature of the forums where a little tab drops down saying "2 new replies" and you can see if people have said anything whilst you were typing? I've had it happen twice whilst doing this; stops people from being ninja'd quite so effectively.

Litanies of the Dark Angels: Seraphicus and any unit he joins re-roll failled To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 if attacking models from a Chaos Space Marine Army. This applies to both shooting and close combat attacks.

I just "happened" to have the data sheet with me whistlingW.gif

The FAQ looks to be to reconciliation of the printed to the digital version -- which already contains all of the FAQ.

 

Interesting though, it doesn't address the discrepancy between the printed & digital version of the Darkshroud rule, in particular the printed specifically stated Stealth doesn't affects Darkshroud whereas the digital versoin doesn't have that limitation.

Ihave it too. I got three of them actually but it's the point that those who don't have the card don't know the rule. :lol:

Interesting that as far as I can see, all but 2 of the Errata were already corrected in the digital codex prior to release. The only 2 that are new for digital readers appear to be the Techmarine boltgun and the Vets chainsword wording.

I wonder how long before the digital codex will be updated.

That's why I wrote it down ;) Bit cheap of GW not to state the rule in the FAQ though!

Still no bolt pistol on Asmodai...

 

Does the errata need an errata, in that they meant Asmodai when they said Azrael, or does he not have one either?

Asmodai doesn't have one either, neither in his entry, nor in the army list.

And although he has two CCWs, one of them is a specialist weapon, so he can't get the +1A.

Well, unless the blades of reason count as a simple CCW when declaring to use the crozius arcanum.

Still, the lack of any ranged weapon doesn't seem to suit us.

Blades of Reason are specialist.

Also funny about Seriphicus

Q: How many points is Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphicus, from the

special edition Dark Vengeance boxed game?

A: 125 points. Seraphicus is an HQ choice in a Dark Angels

army, and a special character. He is an Interrogator-Chaplain

armed with a plasma pistol, as listed in Codex: Dark Angels. He

replaces the Interrogator-Chaplain’s Zealot special rule with his

own Litanies of the Dark Angels special rule.

I already said the silliness about that only those with the card from DV know what his litanies do for the most part.

Here is the funny. GW assumes everyone will take it meaning his entry is that of the Interrorgator-Chaplain with a plasma Pistol instead of Bolt Pistol and his "Litanies" instead of Zealot. You know someone somewhere is going to say he only has a Plasma Pistol as a weapon and nothing else. :lol:

They should have just put in a whole entry for him. no.gif GW trying to shortcut so hard it forgets to add in special rules (Litanies of the Dark Angles) no.gif

"One Deathwing Terminator in the army may be upgraded to the Deathwing Champion, replacing all their weapons with the Halberd of Caliban"

I won't have my book until today, but this caught my eye. The Champion doesn't have to be in the command squad unit?

He is an Interrogator-Chaplain (see entry for interrogator-chaplain for details), with a plasma pistol instead of a bolt pistol.

Seems pretty clear to em.

No DWA clarification. *sigh*

 

The other stuff was expected.

 

the rending change vs vehicles hurts assault cannons

 

Yeah, I'd just finally warmed to Assault Cannons tonight after doing some math hammer on them vs Cyclones, and now I realise I was wrong about the AP2, they still stack up well considering they are cheaper though.

It's still an option for DW Comamnd Squad, the limit is to stop you for taking champions in two DW command squads.

 

That's not what it sounds like from the way it is worded. If that were the case they would just use the asterix at the bottom of the entry like they did with the banner.

Hmmm.... well that was fast! Addresses most issues (and causes others dry.png). I guess Asmodai was never meant to shoot tongue.png.

Interesting that all LRs can now upgrade to DW vehicle.

@Riddles: What rending change vs vehicles?

Cheers

I

When scoring a 6 in penetrating, that shot doesn't add +1 because it is AP2. It's still considered AP4 :(
