- The FAQ Council ruled that the Screamers do not get the bonus attack for charging if using their Lamprey’s bight.
- Fateweaver can use his Staff off of the table per the FAQ, that was a big fight over at BoLS recently. Some folks are arguing about the fact that it is wargear, which is reasonable.

Thoughts:
Not sure if the librarian has to deploy with the command squad or not?
He will spend every game with the black knights for some counter assault if needed.
Would more than likely reserve the two rhino squads keep them for objective grabbing.
To me it seems to counter some of the current meta, dogs and seakers can’t scratch the land raiders, neither can wave serpents / riptides / hell turkeys
BOLS TROLLS! I shouldn’t have commented either. Don’t worry about it, I still appreciate it!
Glad to get my Signals fix! 🙂
Feel better Frankie. Sorry for giving you my ‘special disease’.
Yeah, they are so self-centered. They somehow feel entitled to being dick wads to everyone else. It pisses me off, and they can’t take any of it dished back at them which is the funny part.
Anyway, congratz again, buddy!
I liked the tone of Reece’s comment about the Tau FW monster, “Take responsibility for the state of your game,” and think it could be applied more. It sagways well into a lament he had a when Kamikaze was tanking about how gamer’s are notoriously procrastinating.
It’s important to point out that we as gamers have a culture of loud, but unproductive whining, of unresponsiveness to community building, and of problems with follow-through, to which acknowledgement & some form shaming are the corrective.
Yeah, if we want things to change we need to take action. Sitting on our asses complaining isn’t going to change anything.
Cool, cool. Glad you mentioned the new Tau unit. Email sent!
I would definitely not attend a tournament that allowed that model. Marines already have enough of a hard time.
LOL at the cock-punch on BOLS.
Congrats to Dan. He is a great player. Totally deserved the win.
Thanks for sending that email!
I reaally wish you guys would put the changes/additions in a different color. I mean.. I have no idea what’s different in this version. Not gonna reread the whole thing.
The only additions/changes were to Eldar and Marines, really. And the changes in the doc were in different colors, but when I transferred it to the site, I lost them somehow.
Ahhh ok. I do applaud the effort. Great for the community. :thumbs up:
If you want I can forward you the actual document, it has all the coloring and such.
I sent an email to FW about the Tau XV107 suit
Awesome, thanks!
