    Your friend is correct. As the codex says, "All models benefit from the appropriate Chapter Tactics for their detachment's Chapter, providing they have the Chapter Tactics special rule" (emphasis added). Unless the vehicle has Chapter Tactics (and none do), they can't benefit from the Raven Guard chapter tactics.

    For further confirmation, consider the Iron Hands' Machine Empathy special rule: "All vehicles and characters in this detachment have the It Will Not Die special rule (even though vehicles do not have the Chapter Tactics special rule)" (emphasis added). If Raven Guard vehicles were supposed to have Scout, they would have had a similar exception.

    Got it. well, if vehicles have it, RG would be awesome.
    It's like white scar took away all the awesomeness. Khan make Bikes, Termies and Centurions with LR scout, salved grov weapon range problem and make them charge at turn 2 (or 1 if go second)...That's just too awesome to be true.

    Remember, though, that RG can still Scout if it's a dedicated transport. But, yes, White Scars with Khan do everything RG do, but better.

    LOL...made my morning. I´ve been selling computers since -97 and find this very amusing, but on the sadder note, c´mon GW! It´s like WTF? My friend called me this morning and was ANG-RY. He´s a BA player and didn´t find it funny, that there´s one thing corrected in the latest FAQ. Altough, it´s 100% more than the BRB , what were they thinking...well, the bottom line is, that we decided to start some house rules, cos the GW doesn´t care about their own products.

    First one to "go", is CC against vehicles that have moved. 3+ to hit against turbo boosted fast skimmer is just b***s***. It should be at least 4+ for movement more than 12" and maybe even 5+ beyond 24"? Or is that just to HC? Maybe the 4+ general would be the best option...

    Vanilla Marines just got their FAQ: [url]http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3450050a_Space_Marines_v1.0_SEPTEMBER13.pdf[/url]

    Looks like the lack of special weapons on command squads was a mistake after all, so we can still do that.

    As for the Biker bolt pistol/chainsword swap, just as pointless as the other marine dex's that let you do the same. Really what's the point when you don't get that +1A unless you have both? Which they can't.

    This is why we used to get F.A.Q.s quickly, and now we don't.
    I had one of those and a DX version. Go-Go math co-processor!

    As for chainsword and bolt pistol, I think that's to salve modeling problem for like DV sergent, you know.

    It also fixes the question some people had of bikes taking special weapons (however dumb that argument was). Since you can replace a CC weapon for the special weapon and you can replace the pistol for a chainsword it's all good.
