6th ed facts part 2

Is there a formal definition of casualties? Meaning, are Destroyed, Wiped Out, Crushed, Killed, Removed, Removed from Play, Removed from Play as a Casualty all treated the same way as far as what secondary effects/rules they may trigger?

Thanks!

Not that I can find by the index entries for 'casualties' or 'removing casualties'.

if i remember correctly its worded strangely, you need to have 2 specialist weapons to gain the +1 attack, doesnt have to be the same type. will badger my mate with the rulebook and try to get back to you

I'm looking at the rulebook =) It's not in the USR; just says must be using another weapon with 'specialist weapon'

Hey, just wanted to double check something; CC attacks made by a weapon with the "Unwieldy" rule means they attack at I1?

The Eldar+DEldar=best chums thing is more a sales vehicle rather than based on fluff or balance.

Fluff wise, it had long been established that DEldar take particular pleasure and delight in killing their craftworkd kin or seeing them die in the arenas.

Both Eldar will work with each other, but they both work with the IoM too, does that justify them being battle brothers as well?

In terms of balance, the choice to make those two BB also jars since both are armies that benefit massively from powers and special rules, and allowing their powers and special rules to cross buff each other open up scope for massive abuse. This is but no means scientific, but most of the most 'broken' combos people have suggested so far are Eldar+DEldar hybrids.

Maybe it's hype, and maybe FAQs will clear things up, but at present, that choice ( and Tyranids not having any allied options) see like the biggest missteps of the allied system.

Could someone confirm whether or not it is possible to assault out of Outflank? I've seen it as both yes and no on boards today. Thanks!

So the Dark Eldar saved Iyanden from an Ork Waagh in the DE codex of November 2010 to boost sales in 6th edition 2012? Dark Eldar are incredibly selfish but while they regard the Dark Eldar with the same kind of uncomfortable contempt with which we treat our overtly religious relatives. There is certainly some level of minor conflict between the two but no more than there is within Dark Eldar society. In fact, significantly less. In fact we have no mention that I recall of large scale conflict between DE and CE, incontrast we know that Craftworlds go to war with each other, just very, very rarely.

Also people are looking at allies the wrong way. The allies chart doesn't represent formal alliances between races, it represents how far armies are going to go when applying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' during a battle.

Can confirm NO assault if arriving from reserves including outflank. Restriction not in Outflank USR, but outflank USR says otherwise exactly as per arriving form reserves, and restriction is in reserves.
