Yeah, i think you'd treat Murderfang's arms like you would any infantry. His arm is like that for drama, but the normal firing arc still applies.

[skeletoro]

void claws.

 

can they bring a deep striking character along?

 

how about a deep striking transport?

 

drop pod?

 

caestus?

 

thunderhawk?

[Valerian]

So, have folks been sending in their FAQ requests on these issues to the Gamefaqs@gwplc.com  address?  I'm a little surprised that they haven't published anything yet, given that we've been out for a couple months now, and there are several points to address.

[skeletoro]

I've sent a couple of emails, yeah. I also asked FW at one point... they have yet to update anything since 7e. Bran redmaw is kinda broken. Hell, he hasn't been updated since before 6e!

[wulfgar hammerfist]

Latest FAQ has been posted. It isn't super useful.

[Rune Priest Jbickb]

Seems all it fixed was murderfang can now benefit from furious charge. O and now we don't get rage on blood claw pack leaders. Not that that's surprising.

[nightwing1511]

Can take a SS and Axe on terminators though :P

[FenrisWolf]

Mini Blizz Dreads.

[Jochteas]

I looked to see if it was addressed and so far I have not, I could have missed it now but just to be sure here it is. In IA2E If you take more then 1 Relic you need a Rune Priest with the correct Saga I believe, well now that we no longer do Sagas do you just need a Rune Priest for More then 1 Relic or how would that be handled ?

[Nadir]

The relics are just unique items for the army. You can have them all like named characters.

[FenrisWolf]

No, these are Relics of the Armoury. They're from ForgeWorld.

[Vykryl]

You'd think an Iron Priest would be required to take a relic vehicle

[FenrisWolf]

They were originally tying it to a Saga and IPs couldn't take them.

[Rune Priest Jbickb]

IPs had a saga they could take called saga of the iron wolf...

[FenrisWolf]

Then maybe they just wanted to be at HQ choice rather than an elites choice.

[Jochteas]

You'd also think a wolf priest could ride a wolf, but nooo. But IP totally can. Not that i don't want an IP mind you, just thought a wolf priest could.

[Stormwolf744]

So, done a quick CTRL+F and haven't seen this addressed. Wolf Priest's Oath of War, worse than Zealot because it doesn't affect the unit? If so, we effectively trade the bonuses of Zealot for Balms, is this correct or have I misread/missed something about how the rule works?

Oath of War does effect the unit. It gives the Wolf Priest preferred Enemy vs 1 type of unit, and under preferred enemy rule it states that as long as least 1 model in the unit has it, all models in the unit have it.

Alright, thanks. Kinda seems silly I didn't check that and was reading it wrong. Didn't have my big rulebook right next to me and the friends I sent a text to didn't have a definitive answer. Woops, anyway cheers thanks again.

[Jochteas]

Hey that's what where here for no problem.

[rgr_maddog]

Can take a SS and Axe on terminators though :P

and then replace the axe you just bought for chain fist to bring back everyone's favorite lone wolf. Or is that interpretation too WAACish?

Is that legal?

Edit: Technically I suppose it could be, but it is definitely violated Rules as Intended.

[rgr_maddog]

RAW, you can. An RAI argument against could be made, but you could also say there has been an option previous that worked similarly with a point boost on the stormbolter exchange and that this must only be a misunderstanding brought on by the new format and not a different intent. Intent is vague, but I'd like to hear what others think.

I think the SW errata sorts this issue out.

base termie = SB + power weapon

with the errata you can replace the SB with power axe or frost axe.

The termie can then replace power weapon with chainfist as per codex

leaving you with axe + chainfist

[FenrisWolf]

I think the point was to make a SS and chainfist Lone Wolf.  Starting from the SB + PW, make a SB + SS, then swap the SB for a power axe + SS, then swap the power axe for a chainfist.  That seems suspect to me. 

 

But we could do dual frost axe terminators.  They'd look badass...
