I downloaded the demo last night, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Any one else interested in sharing gamer tags?

We had this exact thing happen last weekend.

Big Mek with KFF in BattleWagon
I drop a Demolisher shell on it and get a Penetrating Hit.
He took his Obscured Vehicle roll and failed.
I...

Correct. The decision about what models go into which combat squad is made at deployment.


Attach two IC to a ten man SM unit and put it in reserves
roll for the whole group as a single unit...

A good example is the "Shield of Sanguinass(sp?)" power in the Blood Angels book. The power specifically states that it's used at the start of your opponent's shooting phase.

This means you can...

"any powers that are chosen when the list is written"

If it says pick at deployment then that's when you pick; but most powers are picked when the list is written and may not be changed through...

Yes.
That cover save is equivalent to standing in terrain.

Think of it this way:
Ordinance barrage ignores terrain/units in the way and you determine the direction of the shot from the center...

Just a note on Adepticon; any powers that are chosen when the list is written are the powers you use every game. No switching up depending on your opponent.

Mycroft

Lootas are an Elite choice.

Nailed it.
I wouldn't allow an opponent to separate wounds for exactly these reasons.

Mycroft

Agreed; it's the same stupid joke I hear over and over from outside the hobby.

I expect more out of people in the hobby.

Mycroft

We should follow the rules when ever possible.

It always annoys me that when my opponents would like to ignore the rules that work against them.

Why is your fun (winning) more important than...

Or a Lib using "Unleash Rage."

Mycroft

That's the way it is currently. Going second on turn 1 with an army that really wants to start on the table, against a much better shooting army, often leads to large chunks of your army never even...

There actually IS a solution present in the 4rth Ed rules.
I'm more than a little surprised that ALL missions didn't get the "Concealment" special rule. Most things deployed on the table turn 1...

Walkers/Monstrous Creatures should hit the AV they are in contact with (rather than rear.)

All Walkers(w/ DNCCW)/Monstrous Creatures should have the ability to "Hold" vehicles in place based on a...

Correct.

I've had to point out that a single IC consolidating from a won combat cannot join a near-bye squad ether because it's not the movement phase.

One thing I've tried to as often as possible is put the magnets on the model only and then use something magnetic (also cheap) on the replaceable parts. That way you get the most use with as few...

Do you bother to put any ICs with Terminators?

Sanguinary Priests: You would obviously lose the Int bonus, but would retain the Str increase/FNP as well as possibly extend the FuriousCharge...

Worth it? Absolutely not. My command squads rarely have a problem issuing themselves an order so I don't expect Bastionne to have one ether.

I'll have to take a look in the INAT; didn't even...

I agreed with most of your post but this took me back. The codex allows a re-roll if both the squad issuing and the squad recieving the order have a Vox. That's absolutely the case when a unit with...

Yep, that's what I do; 4 LC and 1 TH/SS. Plus the Lib takes the str 10 power so it can contribute vs vehicles and monstrous creatures.




I've considered that as well. I've just always found...

That's a decal. I think they're on the IG tank decal sheet. I've used them on my Drop Pods. They're delicate because they're so large, but they look great once in place.

I've been writing up lists that include the StormRaven lately and I'm unsure about what the best transported units would be. I had intended to use the transported unit as a CC attacker.



...

...and you're already taking Shrike, so you only have 1 HQ spot for a character. So basically you're looking at a single Chaplain or Librarian. You could take another Captain but that isn't much of...

I'm pretty sure the rules allow:
vehicle moves
unit moves with in 2"
unit embarks on moved vehicle
