GW just updated a bunch of Horus Heresy FAQs and is giving out free rules for the Classic Solar Auxilia!
We saw these same four books FAQ’d back in September, but as the game evolves (since it’s a new edition), we expect them to keep them coming out. Plus, they also released all the classic Solar Auxilia rules for free, so a pretty big update!
New Horus Heresy FAQs
The updates come from Warhammer Community. Let’s take a closer look!
These four books are grabbing an update this time (identical to September). There’s a decent amount updated, but they did a good job of covering the main changes below:
V1.1 of the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook FAQ and Errata includes updates to clarify the timing of Reactions in the Shooting Phase, including Return Fire, and it also explains which Unit Types can benefit from Shrouded (X) Damage Mitigation rolls.
Additionally, frequently asked questions regarding Surge Moves, the use of the Battlesmith (X) special rule, and Disembarkation of models following the Explodes result on the Vehicle Damage table are addressed.
V1.1 of the Liber Hereticus FAQ and Errata mirrors the relevant sections of the Liber Astartes document, clarifies Alpharius’ Pythian Scales rule, and answers questions regarding access to Psychic Disciplines for Thousand Sons units.
V1.0 of the Liber Imperium FAQ and Errata adds or amends wargear options for the Leman Russ Strike Squadron, Solar Auxilia Malcador Heavy Tank Squadron, and the Clade Vanus Infocyte Assassin. Errors have been corrected in the Wargear entries of the Culexus Assassin, Callidus Assassin, and Custodes Tarsus Buckler, along with the addition of the Melta Cutters Wargear entry.
You can download all the FAQs here.
Free Rules for Classic Solar Auxilia
It’s always good to get free rules, even if they are just expanded units. Here’s what they have to say about the update:
The rules in this PDF cover Expanded units, and are intended to accompany the Core units found in print. As such, they are subject to potential future revisions. You’ll notice we’ve included rules for the Davinite Lodge Priest and the Expeditionary Navigator – I’m really looking forward to seeing what conversions and kitbashes the talented Horus Heresy community comes up with to represent these characters!
