It’s FAQception! The dust has been settling on 40k’s big FAQ. However, GW dropped just clarified more of their rulings today!
Warhammer Community dropped an addendum to their big FAQ. As you know April’s 40k FAQ was a much-needed reset button for the meta. It fixed Fly, the way units interact with Airborne keyword units, and so much more. Lets check out what some of the updates were in the addendum.
40k Gets FAQceptioned
This update isn’t like an FAQ where rules have been changed. Rather, this is just an addendum clarifying on some of the rules. The team really just changed the wording on existing rules to make them not so open-ended. We’ll go over a few here but make sure to check over everything on their main page and see if you’ve been playing your faction right.
Deathwatch:
Heavy Weapons take up two hands, so it makes sense that they also can’t carry something like a storm shield. If you’ve been seeing Deathwatch run around with Frag Launchers and Storm Shields, call them out.
As for the Tau, The Fireblades don’t add another shot that counts towards rapid fire (essentially meaning that they can fire four shots per model). Instead, they clarified that you just get to add another hit roll to your pool of dice when you shoot.
Again, these are just some small rules clarifications on the ins-and-outs of a few faction rules. But in case you were wanting to get a better look at the big FAQ from April, we’ve got it all here for you:
