FAQ'd Up

So here it is, the 8th Edition Rulebook FAQ. Nice and swift from GW and it's nice to see them taking a very active approach to the hobby with timely FAQ's and Errata's.

Recapping, the word is out on how Purple Sun works now so no bouncing through an entire battle-line, You can have ethereal Dragons thanks to the Transformation of Kadon and Okkam's Mind Razor DOES modify armour saves.

Though perhaps the most important one isn't the one which allows you to tear up a battle-line with an appropriately equipped Vampire Lord, it is in fact the combat reform rules have been altered so that you don't have to keep the centre of the unit the same when reforming in combat. This was necessary primarily to make the rule work because it just flat out didn't in the last few weeks of playing the game. This allows you to react to threats to your flank or reform to get your diminished horde formation into a good old fashioned 5 wide block unit.

Also Steadfast has been slightly changed to make the wording more clear and so it can now be combined with SiN [Strength in Numbers], rather than using the ambiguous [I say ambiguous because many people interpreted it in a number of different ways] 'unmodified Leadership'.

Good on GW for the fast response, and it can finally put some rather heated debates to rest.

The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

So, here i go. Blogging. Never done this before, never even considered it before, but i have the urge to suddenly write down things i do/my thoughts and my opinions on a place for all to see. Perhaps a cry for attention or just a need to open up to someone regardless of who they are or where they come from. In any case this will be very much a journey of exploration and realisation and you are more than welcome to join me.

Might as well kick this off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a student of Architecture at the University of Nottingham and have finished my first year. I enjoy watching films, playing squash, football, video games and wargaming. Thats enough for now, don't want the first post to be too dull, so let's move on.

Fingers crossed this gets updated as and when i can and often as well. Whenever something happens i'll post it up.
