Skyshield is where it's at now, all the cool kids are bunking up 30 Termagants and a Tervigon in there
Incidentally gun emplacements can't auto-fire, only weapon emplacements and even then only when the building is occupied [unless it has the 'fully automated rule' like a Vengeance Weapons Battery].
GW just took down the old FAQ today (the 21st) so I assume a new FAQ page is on it's way. I expect they are taking their time to make sure they address as many of the problems with the book as they can.
That's the only reason I can think of for such a delay.
That does depend on which rules you're using. If you're with Stronghold Assault, which really should be used for points costs and improved building rules then as long as you purchased the building as part of your force any guns on it can auto fire even if you leave the building or aren't occupying it to begin with. But on the other hand that also means they can be shot at, and more interestingly somebody like Terminators can DS right inside the building, risky but fun.
Astra Miliwotsit? You're in the Guard now son....
Umm... wut? I see no indication that spore mines can assault after deepstriking. They MAY be able to assault after landing from a shoreline launcher... not sure.
I would also like to see some clarity on if the sporemines from multiple biovores on a missed shot form a unit or separate ones.
Hence the need for a FAQ!
Do spores count as having deep struck when they are placed as a result of a miss from a Biovore/Harpy, or not? That's a legit question in need of a FAQ.
While I'm sure they WILL count as having deep struck, there's nothing right now that says they do. And, since they didn't come in from reserve, there's no reason why they can assault in the ensuing assault phase.
