| Highly unlikely, there is probably a better chance of them being considered poison and giving the re-roll to wound, or taking the better to wound.
I noticed the exclusion of an definitive "Does the haywire blaster roll to penetrate and get the haywire effect" question, I remain happy about that. |

| Well that makes me want to use the 15 incubi i have even more.
Everything they do is brilliant now. Makes them one of the best CC choices available to any army.
I was going to make an archon led cc list and this really helps |

| You can't combine rulebook powers and codex ones. Not that big a deal, although I was told with some authority that you could combine them. Didn't think it was the case! _________________ My other car is a Ravager

| *performs a stereotypical villainous laugh for several minutes* My Incubi are even better at killing stuff, and huskblades are now worthwhile.

| SHUT THE FRONT DOOR I think this just bumped my painting schedule. Those 10 Incubi and Huskblade-wielding Archon are getting done ASAP EDIT: Also, did you guys see that the Baron gets +2 S to his Hammer of Wrath attack when he charges? Not a game changer, but worth smile |

| does it say somewhere that bikes cant enter transports? Cause the rulebook FAQ just made them "very bulky" counting as 3 models for transport purposes. Can you say drop-pods full of bikes? or floating skybarges dumping reavers midboard in apocalypse games... _________________ “If an injury is to be done to an enemy, it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared” - Archon Niccolò Machiavelli

| Monstrous flyers now go back to glide mode when they crash So no more getting hit on 6's Is this right? Venom cannons are even better at taking these down than before! psychic powers cant overwatch - helps us a little as we are more often the watched than the watcher  |

| Looks out Sir has also been changed to have the model closest to the character take the wound, not the model of your choice in the unit. So much for Grotesque wound tricks |

| just have 2 models in base to base contact with the character
Either can be closest
I would expect to be punched in the stomach and have my army case stolen but technically there is nothing wrong with it right? |

Probably not a changer at all since I think I'll have to take him to run with Beasts now, we ignore terrain, but are somehow still slowed by it? Was kind of disappointing, loved the cinematic of beasts leaping from a forest and shredding people. |

| I wonder if the FAQ that Hellions can't snatch a character involved in a challenge has any effect in most situations. As far as I see, if only the Hellion unit (and any ICs joined, who are treated as being a part of the unit) is involved in the combat, then when they hit and run no model will be involved in a challenge during the hit and run move, as any DE models fighting in the challenge will be leaving the combat alongside the Hellions. Therefore nothing would stop you from snatching the IC, even if he was fighting a challenge in the last combat phase. The only situation where you couldn't snatch him would be if there were 2 DE units in the combat and the IC in question would be fighting a challenge against a member of another unit.
I atleast belive this is the correct interpetion, and not the one where I can't snatch an IC because he was involved in the challenge in the same assault phase you deglared hit and run. That would make stunclaws much less useful (they're quite good now for stopping 2+ save ICs from giving their unit a pseudo-2+ save, and allowing the Baron to fight the IC solo and gaining benefits from moral support). |

You just need to move the models around a bit as you move, so a different Grot is closest to the character for LOS. _________________ You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me? |

| Very happy that Klaives and Huskblades are now AP 2!  I still won't be assaulting Termies if I can help it, especially since most come with Storm Shields, but at least the option is there. When challenges was first revealed, I got very excited at my Archon being able to bring out his Huskblade again rather than his trusty Agoniser but then quickly got disappointed when I realised it was AP 3. Now order is at last restored! My trophy museums should be filling up nicely once again.  I'm a bit sad that still Vect's weapon is AP 3 and you can't assault from the WWP on the turn you arrive but I gess GW can't give us anything. They don't want too many Marines to start crying after all. |

| The only I7 ID AP2 weapon that ignores FNP, in the game! Huzaaa!
And now with challenges you kill the warlord and then munch the rest of his squad with S6 death.

| Well, I'm not surprised the Sceptre is only AP3. It's already got one better AP than the AP4 it would have as a standard power maul, so fluffwise it's already better at penetrating armour. It's just that it doesn't have the cutting edge needed to grant a proper AP2. _________________ It's our galaxy, you just die in it...

| Great News:
Klaives, Huskblades
Good News:
Baron +2 HoW, Clarified transport reserve rules
Sad News:
Loss of LoS allocation games, Loss of FNP + Eternal Warrior Combo, No more Allied Autarch to add to reserve rolls (kind of screws with my WWP list even more), No more bladevaning swooping MCs
Annoying News:
Reaver allocation
Overall, they cleared up things that needed clearing up, and we got a huge boost! Makes HQ choices difficult again... |
