Black Library just dropped a new FAQ for the Unforgiven, and have left some people scratching their heads. Checkout these changes to the Standard of Devastation and perhaps more importantly the the Power Field Generator.
http://www.blacklibrary.com/faqs-and-errata.html
Page 64 – Power Field Generator
Add ‘if the bearer is embarked upon a Transport vehicle, the power field’s effects only apply to models
The new venerable upgrade was unlocked for all Dark Angels as well!
Page 104 – Land Raiders (all), options. Replace the final option for each Land Raider with the following: ‘• May be upgraded to a Deathwing Vehicle (p40)………30 pts’.
FAQs
Q: The Standard of Devastation states that ‘all friendly Codex: Dark Angels units within 6″ of the standard treat their boltguns as Salvo 2/4 weapons’. Which boltguns does this apply to? (p66)
A: This applies to the standard boltgun (24″ range, S4, AP5, Rapid Fire), twin-linked boltguns on bikes, the bolter component of combi-weapons, and hurricane bolters.
So whats next for the Unforgiven? Only time, and perhaps a new splash release for them will time. -MBG
