Snikrot’s unit before the game starts, can they still turn
up using the Ambush special rule? (p62)
A: Yes (lol).

Q: Can an Ork that is attacking an enemy vehicle by
using a boarding plank do so even if his unit fired at a
different target in the Shooting phase? (p93)
A: Yes.

Q: Can a Walker attack back against an Ork attacking
him from a boarding plank? (p93)

A: No.

Q: Can a unit of Tankbustas choose to Run in the
Shooting phase if there is a vehicle in line of sight but
out of range of their weapons? (p42)
A: No.

vehicle within 6" of it? (p35)
A: 4+. Note that for a squadron of vehicles only those

obscured.


There are more additions - some stuff about Deffkoptas, Waaghs, and a couple of correction. A surprisingly thorough set of answers really.

& more


Space Marines got two changes:

Page 97 – Wargear, Chainfist
Change to “See the Terminator entry on page 64. Note
that a chainfist on an Ironclad Dreadnought is a
Dreadnought close combat weapon that rolls 2D6 for
armour penetration.

and the Vortex of Doom one same as the GKs.

There are a few other ones, but they're the most interesting. [URL="http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1760102a_Tau_Empire_Version_1_1.pdf"]Tau [/URL]might be new, but I don't really know as it's not dated.

Holy cow the Ork FQ is something, 4+ cover save from the force field is surprising

[Wildeybeast]

I don't see anything new in the Tau one

[DarkLink]

Uhhh... no it's not. Obscured vehicles get a 4+ cover save. KFFs make vehicles count as obscured. I don't know why they even needed to put this in the FAQ.

[Caldera02]

Because some people don't know how to read....

[Bigthunda]

My bad! I don't use a KFF I just glanced over it a while back and assumed it gave everything a 5+ forgot it said obscured, you are correct this should be a no-brainer

[Demonus]

Q: Are a vehicle’s wings considered to be part of its
hull? (p60)
A: Yes.

So does this mean I can target a vehicle's wing with my shooting, thus using the closer distance from my weapon?

A: Yes.

I thought that would be more for blast weapons that scatter not for TLoS purposes.

Then again with GW, they trueley intended to baffle us with these FAQs.

[Duo Sonata]

Ironclads chainfist no longer striking at I1 is mildly entertaining however the immobilized dreadnought dying in a crashed stormraven seems harsh but at least it's unlikely to ever happen. Don't much care for the nerf on Psykostoke grenades tho, that's quite the pisser. Would have been nice if they clarrified wheither or not Summoning is affected by teleport homers.

[JxKxR]

The Ork KFF dealing with the squadron was nice to see. Now that screen of killa kans just got a little tighter. HA! Take that big meks.
