New FAQs

[stonecutter]

There are a bunch of new FAQs including one for vamps just posted at GW's shrine of knowledge. Biggest thing for vamps is that the ghostly howls can now shoot into a combat that the terrorgheist/banshee are no actually fighting in and IoN can only raise a single blood knight per casting - so much for your all blood knight list Shannon ;D

The FAQs are aval here:

Just a quick review of the main FAQ two changes of note:
1) monstrous cav just got even better as it now uses the highest wounds & toughness. This means demi-gryphs are now T4 and elves can get T4 by using a MB such as a peggie/dark peggie as a mount. Glad they finally made Chuck Norris more survivable ;D

2) the way in which re-rolling to hit via hatred and forcing re-rolling to hit vice spells/abilities has changed in that the two now just cancel each other out.

PS - for those who don't know, Chuck Norris is the dark elf lord on a dark peggie with pendant of khaleth and crown of command.

One more FAQ addendum for scouts - they no longer count for determining the +1 to determine who goes first. However, since nothing was included for vanguard it still counts as deployment (and hence who gets the +1) prior to rolling for who gets to go first.

just like in 40k some odd questions, biggest being is the thump with club for a giant 2D6 wounds or 1 wound that causes 2D6 wounds.

also looked and no chaos dwarf FAQ, not that I think they needed it though, the last one clarified everything.
