    Wait, one side was totally wiped out but won on points? That seems to go against the "Sudden Death" rule for Matched Play (p.215):

    You're right - the Space Marine and Blood Angels version of the rule has the "wound rolls and damage" versions, but the Chaos Space Marine version is indeed different. Weird.

    It actually says 'add one to the wound rolls and damage,' not 'to the wound and damage rolls.' So Denzark's answer would be correct.

    One powerfist would be 40 points, two would be 50 (because having two isn't much better than just having one.)

    So:

    72+50=122

    The firing unit's positioning doesn't make any difference. Note the rule - it doesn't say anything about any other unit but the one seeking cover:

    Seems like it, as long as they are "entirely on or within a terrain feature." Good catch!

    Yep, even if you go second. If you go first, you wouldn't actually have to put a model on the table until the beginning of the second Battle Round!

    Not having to roll for reserves to bring 'em in sure is nice. They got a lot more dependable, but at a real points premium.

    "A CHARACTER can only be chosen as a target in the Shooting phase if they are the closest visible enemy unit to the model that is shooting." So only the closest of the two could be targeted.
