I have a question about horrorfexes. As we all know, the Dark Eldar FAQ (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1180149_Dark_Eldar_FAQ_2004-08_5th_Edition.pdf) states that horrorfexes are not defensive weapons. However, page 58 of the rulebook states that
Any vehicle weapons of Strength 4 or less (or with no Strength value) are classified as 'defensive' weapons.
The horrorfex has "the same effect as" a terrorfex, which has a listed Strength of "n/a." So ... can anybody explain to me what the Dark Eldar FAQ is smoking? What are your guys' experiences in terms of how people play this rule?
Let me try to forestall some replies by saying I know what the FAQ says. I also know that
The FAQs on the other hand are very much 'soft' material. They deal with more of a grey area, where often there is no right and wrong answer - in a way, they are our own 'Studio House Rules'.
In other words, FAQs can be wrong (yes yes, I know that tournaments are likely to consider them authoritative, etc.). I'm interested in a discussion of reasoning, not repetitions of what is.
Anybody have anything? Or is the FAQ just making things up?
