Today's FAQ release is quite a doozy! Everything from a confirmation of the reported Necron flyer rule, to Mycetic Spore changes that make Doom even more dangerous, plus some new game mechanics. Here are the top changes I found when reading the updates this morning;Main Rulebook Page 43 – Special Rules, Vector Strike.
Change the second paragraph to read “When Swooping, this model may savage its prey. At the end of the Movement Phase, nominate one unengaged enemy unit the model has moved over that turn. This unit may even be an enemy Flyer. That unit takes D3+1 hits, resolved at the model’s unmodified Strength and AP3, using Random Allocation. Against vehicles, these hits are resolved against the target’s side armour. No cover saves are allowed against these hits.”
Two big changes in here. First, random allocation is now in play for vector strikes. This prevents me from sniping models via heldrakes flying of the table at specific angles, and fluff wise makes sense. I already through some DnD dice with my Chaos army to speed up allocation. The second is a huge benefit to vector strikes...no cover saves! This makes vector strikes one of the most reliable ways to finish off the last two of three guys in a unit.
More changes after the jump!
