Q: Should Commissar Yarrick have the Stubborn special rule?
A: No.
Q: Is the Taurox Prime meant to have the Assault Vehicle special rule?
A: No.
Q: Should the Hydra have the Interceptor special rule?
A: No.
Q: When the ‘Fire on my Target!’ order is issued, do both units (the officer and the ordered unit) need line of sight to the target or just the ordered unit?
A: Only the ordered unit needs line of sight.
Q: Colour Sergeant Kell’s Listen Up, Maggots! special rule allows nearby Astra Militarum units to use his Leadership instead of their own highest Leadership. How does this interact with abilities that force a unit to use its lowest Leadership value?
A: Kell’s rule only affects units taking Leadership tests for orders issued by Creed. If, as the result of an enemy ability, a unit is forced to use its lowest Leadership value when taking a Leadership test for an order from Creed, then they can still use Kell’s leadership as long as he is in the same unit as Creed.
Q: Can you add Ministorum Priests, Primaris Psykers and Enginseers to Formations?
A: No.

Q: What is the firing arc of the Chimera’s lasgun arrays?
A: They are considered hull-mounted weapons, and as such have a 45° arc.
Q: In a Chimera, is it possible to use both its lasgun arrays and its Fire Point during the same Shooting phase (if there are 10 models in the Chimera, for example)?
A: Yes.
Q: Is the Fire Point of a Chimera the turret hatch or the hatch at the back?
A: The hatch at the back.
Q: Commissar Yarrick has both the Chain of Command and Senior Officer special rules. The first rule stipulates that if there’s a model with the Senior Officer rule, they cannot be the Warlord. Do the two cancel each other out?
A: No. Yarrick can only be your Warlord if you have no other model with the Senior Officer rule in your primary detachment. Yarrick is a Senior Officer, and can issue orders accordingly.
Q: Can a Valkyrie or Vendetta performing a Grav Chute Insertion use a ground vehicle’s augur array to prevent scatter?
A: No. The augur array only affects units arriving from Deep Strike Reserve.
Q: Can a Valkyrie or Vendetta perform a Grav Chute Insertion when it is Zooming?
A: Yes.

Q: Does an Infantry Platoon count as a single unit for the purposes of issuing orders?
A: No.
Q: Can you clear up Ordnance and Heavy vehicles? Leman Russ owners have been wondering about this for some time.
A: Heavy has no effect on firing Ordnance weapons. If a Heavy vehicle doesn’t fire an Ordnance weapon, it can fire all of its weapons at full Ballistic Skill when moving at Combat Speed.
Q: When a Formation like the Steel Host includes a Tank Commander, is that the Tank Commander in a single tank, or a full squadron – i.e. the Tank Commander HQ choice from Codex: Astra Militarum?
A: It’s the Tank Commander entry from the codex, that is, a Tank Commander and 1-2 other Leman Russ tanks, which form a single squadron.

I agree, I imagine they mean the large double door on top of the vehicle as I can’t imagine they mean for everyone to drive their already fragile Chimera backwards just to be able to fire out the hatch. They likely just didn’t want people measuring from the turret hatch as it does give you a few extra inches.
