Scout, Hit & Run, Sammael's Warlord Trait, and the RavenWing Jink thing are all more specific Rules, not granted by anything that would be counted as a Chapter Tactic, and the rest of it is their Wargear options.<br /><br />The only real solution there is going back to something more like the more detailed 6th Ed Allies Matrix, where SW and DA weren't Bros. Which would be fluffier, too.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-27521119832002814732016-06-11T18:47:42.555+01:002016-06-11T18:47:42.555+01:00With this one - This now allows independent charac...With this one - This now allows independent characters to join the formation, but tempers this by removing the special rules. Note, this will prevent a unit of Devastators from being Relentless the turn they arrived if joined by a character (unless the character confers it to them himself). - For most uses of Skyhammer it won't matter since if it's an independent formation, no characters can embark in the pods since they're different detachments. It will only matter if taken in something like a Fist of Medusa or a SternhammerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253461969117626423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-78496637055551795862016-06-11T13:14:10.218+01:002016-06-11T13:14:10.218+01:00Hopefully they will errata the SW, DA, BA chapter ...Hopefully they will errata the SW, DA, BA chapter rules to be counted as chapter tactics.Firewasphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437136828739603902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-61138222585788450022016-06-11T10:45:16.058+01:002016-06-11T10:45:16.058+01:00For the most part, I was really happy with this FA...For the most part, I was really happy with this FAQ. The one big issue with it is the Drop Pod stuff. Even without Modeling shenanigans, having the doors count as part of the Model when they're down both increases the Deployment area from them hugely and makes them ludicrous as Objective Campers. They don't even have to be ObSec, since they're like 10" across with the doors down, so it's impossible for enemy Units to even get close to Contesting distance.<br /><br />The Apothecary Ruling was apparently a typo, and has been reversed in the comments on the FB page, tho the pic remains unchanged.<br /><br />The Chapter Tactic Ruling doesn't really fix the SuperFriends issue, it just trims off a couple of the options for it. The nastiest version for a while now has been built around RavenWing and Space Wolves, who don't actually have Chapter Tactics as such, and so are unaffected.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-41499390037156151782016-06-11T10:27:34.230+01:002016-06-11T10:27:34.230+01:00I'm not sure your correct on the skyhammer rul...I'm not sure your correct on the skyhammer ruling, while yes it will stop the squad assaulting as every model in it must be able to assault the same is not true for relentless units & don't for get it states the IC doesn't get the benefit not that the formation loose's it.
