9th Ed Codex early rules questions

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

mechanized rule + mount up strat.

so you put your bois in a chimera. move them, disembark, shoot, mount up, then shoot with lasgun array.

do ya'll think that will be a legal move?

Yes sound like it would. But if you want to be 100% leave an officer in their to shoot it - only takes 1 model to shoot (with current rules).

There is a reason the whole codex is not considered tourney legal until it has a separate drop outside the box according to GW.

Don't think the lasgun array still needs a guy in it in the new book.

Even better then!

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

I lean towards no it wouldn’t, they’re completely separate weapons with separate statlines.

 

something that I think definitely needs a FAQ released on Black Friday.

 

edit since threads merged.

this post is about parade drill and if it effects hotshot lasguns or not.

Someone compared it to the IF doctrine but that says bolt weapon instead of bolter

[duz_]

Setting up this thread to consolidate any initial FAQs about the new book. 

[sairence]

The FAQ sadly won't come on Black Friday, I don't think, as this stuff tends to be linked the general codex release usually. That'll likely happen early January, then followed by an initial FAQ 2-3 weeks later. So I wouldn't realistically expect that until the start of February.

Could anyone please let me know if the new Master of Ordinance buffs all keyword artillery?
 

Or just the codex guns?

In the command phase, select one enemy unit within 30 and visible to the MOO, AM artillery units reroll 1s to hit vs that unit until start of next command phase. 

 

Command phase means its prob going to be very hard to set up

 

Doesn't sound great

Can you give the teleport relic to kasrkin, load them into a transport and teleport the transport as well?

Core rules covers this I believe: units, unless specifically stated, cannot do anything or be affected by anything while embarked

Booo!

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Another FAQ that I think will be necessary.

the wording for Kasrkin traits doesn’t make any sense to me, as it implies every Kasrkin squad would need a separate 3rd trait from each other

Yeah, that seems to be the intent.

No. Only Karskin get teleported. How awesome would that be though. Teleporting Chimeras. lol

[bristlybadger]

Do you reckon Kasrkin can take a "double" doctrine, if your army has 2x single doctrines?

Pretty sure each Kasrkin squad gets 1 unique doctrine in addition to whatever else you chose.

That makes no sense.

like why would each squad from the same unit have different 3rd doctrines?

[sairence]

Pretty sure the Kasrkin rule states that a squad can pick any extra doctrine that no other unit in your army has. That would by definition include any other Kasrkin squad.

And I think that’s RAW and not RAI.

The rule doesn’t make any sense, and that’s why it in a thread about questions GW needs to clarify.

Yep, this is correct, but people shouldn't get carried away, ten t3 models with a 4+ save will just be swept away after they have a shooting phase. 

 

If they get a shooting phase

I mean...you can think what you like, but this isn't in any way written ambiguously. And it makes sense if your aim is to make each of these special forces units feel unique, instead of instantly openening up the door to rules exploits by spamming something.
