Rant Session
Tactics Corner
- Got in another game with Raven Guard vs. Tau!
Rules Lawyer
- Update on the Tau Hunter Contingent Coordinated Firepower command benefit.
- MKK1016 asks: Since you can’t use powers that are triggered at the beginning of the turn if you came on from reserves (pg.136 BRB) then can Cult Mechanicus units in drop pods not use Canticles?
- They do benefit from Canticles but they do not count towards the total number of units on the table at the beginning of the turn which can impact the strength of the Canticle.
- Torpored asks: Can KDK take Chaos FW units?
- Not unless they are specified as being in the KDK faction or available to KDK armies.
- Jason D asks: Do you have to swing Gorderdinker to get the bonuses?
- No, the rule just says the bearer’s melee attacks trigger the bonus.
- BRLH06 asks: Why do Iron Hands get Machine EMpathy for their vehicles?
- Most specific rule in this case is Machine Empathy, which overrides the less specific rule which is Chapter Tactics.
Completed Commissions
- Salamanders commission completed! This is our tabletop standard which is a great value to get your army on the table and ready to play.
