Rulebook FAQ updated by GW

[Melissia]

Correct, there are no such thing as "junior" or "senior" officers, or "heroic senior" in the current IG dex.

[Majorcrash]

see thats how understood it was well. But with GW you never know.

[Lerra]

Edit: Ignore me! I misread the FAQ.

[Extinction Angel]

We've been playing it like that ever since 5th came out.

The game is definitely all about layered assaults. And your example is a little flawed because Space Marines can't be cut down by sweeping advance thanks to "...and they shall know no fear."

[Nabterayl]

Has anyone been playing the game as the FAQ states (if you are in assault and are charged by a new unit, you can't attack the new unit)? I've never seen the game played this way, and it could be a pretty big change. It opens up a new tactic for getting rid of assault units.

Uh, I don't want to sound dumb, but where does the new FAQ state that?

Oh jeez, serves me right for reading the FAQ in the middle of lecture! I skimmed it and completely misinterpretted it. Just ignore me

[HsojVvad]

Uh guys, some of you are pointing out stuff that havn't been changed in the FAQ. The thing about Imperial Guards, and Doom rule is nothing new. It's been in there all this time.

Yes, Doom is not a psychic attack.

[Commissar Lewis]

Yeah in the new Guard dex Guard officers aren't ICs.

Trust me, this fact helped me outta a bind during last summer's apoc game. My friend who played daemons used the greater possession SA and no one on my team had any ICs. Straken didn't have the IC rule listed on his page, so thus he wasn't an IC. Company Commanders and Platoon Commanders don't have the IC rule, and neither do the special guys.

So that part of the FAQ is moot.
