FAQs
Q: Can the Mechanicus Locum Stratagem be used to give
characters other than your warlord one of the Holy Order
Warlord Traits?
A: No. The Character is only considered your Warlord for the
purposes of the Warlord Trait itself, not for what Warlord Traits
it has access to.
Q. Does the Panegyric Procession Canticle allow a transuranic
arquebus to be fired after moving?
A: No.
Q: Is the Thunderfire Cannon’s Operated Artillery ability
considered an aura ability for the purposes of the Electro-filament
Countermeasures Stratagem?
A: No.
Q: Can the Tactica Obliqua Stratagem be used if the unit in
question could not fire overwatch due to an ability, psychic
power, etc?
A: Yes.
Q: Can Pteraxii Skystalker and Pteraxii Sterylizor models embark
upon a Skorpius Dunerider?
A: Yes.
Q: When using the Arc Grenade Cluster ability for a unit of
Pteraxii Skystalkers, is the number of D6 rolled equal to the
number of models in that Pteraxii Skystalkers unit?
A: Yes.
Q: If the Luminescent Blessing Canticle of the Omnissiah is in
effect, are affected models with an invulnerable save that is better
than 4+ (such as Fulgurite Electro-Priests under the effect of
their Siphoned Vigour ability) affected, effectively reducing their
invulnerable save to 4+?
A: No.

Going over the items:

 

1. Who was arguing moving more than once oO

I think people were stacking the Stygies strat with their built in move.

 

4+5. I don't know what "Delete this ability" does but I am supper excited!

They did this to all vehicles which had special rules that ignored the penalty for moving and shooting heavy weapons.

 

FAQs

1. Ahh that makes a little sense, hadn't thought of that.
