Legal access to the forgeworld rules is significantly more difficult as it requires the purchase of a book that costs significantly more than a codex. I am very disappointed that the nova open is leaning this way for the GT. If this is going to be the ruling then I have no choice then to spend approximately $800 on books just to have the rules so I can prepare for the GT so I know I'm not being cheated and so that undue amount of time isn't spent on me looking at the rules inside the textbook sized books that make up forgeworld during the game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426083963250382894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-91912156284224668232015-02-11T14:25:20.631-08:002015-02-11T14:25:20.631-08:00Another potential "huh" would be whether...Another potential "huh" would be whether Zhadsnark would be allowed for Orks, or whether or not Orks can do mass Bike lists again.MagicJugglernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-63455361981170567682015-02-09T18:01:15.001-08:002015-02-09T18:01:15.001-08:00I think the counts as FW thing is for stuff like t...I think the counts as FW thing is for stuff like the autocannon turret on a chimera. The chimera is a non-FW unit, but there's an option in IA for an autocannon turret. Taking said turret turns that particular chimera into a FW unit, thus it is 0-1.<br /><br />However I can see that as problematic in the case of FW chapter tactics and FW space marine characters. If you wanted to play Raptors or Red Scorpions you'd be forced into a highlander list of sorts, because most all the units would have FW rules. Would really limit the detachment that had Servn Loth, for example.wintermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387213368473553942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-3625407998731516312015-02-08T19:10:57.774-08:002015-02-08T19:10:57.774-08:00Glad you're on it already.

Another thing I noticed (which you're probably also aware of already), for the Strike the Rank and File secondary objective (ie: kill troops), what happens if you don't have any troops in your army? I'll probably be bringing a Haemie Coven army which doesn't even have access to troops. Elites are clearly the "Rank and File" from my army, but as the objective is worded I can't tell how that'd work (would I auto-give that objective, or would it be impossible to achieve).Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-62292020743814563172015-02-08T12:59:40.800-08:002015-02-08T12:59:40.800-08:00>If you find a way to apply Forgeworld rules or...>If you find a way to apply Forgeworld rules or items or anything else to a non-Forgeworld unit, that unit is considered Forgeworld for purposes of the 0-1 restrictions.<br /><br />Can this be clarified?

How are you dealing with the non-standard sources of VPs? It says VPs from warlord traits go towards tie-breaker (which I really disagree with), but there's a number of other ones out there (Ethereals, Assassins, Corpsethief Claw, etc.). Throwing them all into tie-breaker, basically marginalizes some of their biggest draws (or drawbacks in the Ethereal's case), and also a big part of what makes them interesting, to the point of meaninglessness. Maybe just cap extra VPs from all sources at 3, but they can't take your score above 15? That way they still keep some of their flavor, but can't run away with the game all on their own.Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-33874125437457712942015-02-03T11:08:39.426-08:002015-02-03T11:08:39.426-08:00Very real chance of AdLance getting banned.Very real chance of AdLance getting banned.Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-12484975474015294372015-02-03T10:28:23.120-08:002015-02-03T10:28:23.120-08:00BOOOO!
