Possibly. Or they might be having a laugh while also telling people that 'yes, the weapons really are that good' until the new edition rolls around and over-writes the standard template rules. |

This is brilliant. Means if only the closest pcb gets in you only need to take2 tests yourself. More importantly means it is now worth taking a censer on apriest on afurnace. You won't be taking tests every turn anymore: only when you are in combat. Brilliant! |

I loved the one asking if the new clanrats could have attachment weapon teams as the new unit's equipment and at the end of their response, after thoroughly discounting it, they said "nice try!" :lol: --Cap |

I have to say, one thing that would have made this an even more perfect FAQ would have been a better explanation as to how weapons teams operate. Using logic garnered from RAW the WFT, Ratling and PWM should be granted 360 LOS for the sake of shooting but it seems some folks believe otherwise. |

That was good Cap. and then the question on if wither can be used on friendly units:

I'm still not entirely sure about this actually. Reading the FAQ, it looks like characters with US<5 are affected as normal but it says they are treated like characters being shot at. Looking at the BRB in that section, basically if a character is in a unit of US5+, he can't be hit. So theoretically, all characters are immune to the mutating effects. The FAQ implies otherwise, but i'm not sure. Is there somewhere that says that if a big unit with a character is wiped out from shooting, the character is also killed? aside from that, I'm super glad this fAQ is out! one or two surprises (bonebreaker US, furnace marching and shooting) but it answers most questions nicely. |

It says replace the entire unit, the only point at which they talk about placing a character 1" away is when the US5+ slips in. US5+ is immune to CotHR US<4Characters (from what I've read) still appear to be subject to the effects. If a unit of 20 (19 + character) takes 22 casualties all models should be replace; unless that character happens to be US5+

On the question of censor bearers, the first page of the errata states that
Does this mean that the second rank of a unit engaging censor bearers would also have to take a test, as they are in base contact with the first rank that is fighting the censors? That would be ridiculous. |

It means precisely that. And actually that's not ridiculous. Ridiculous was the idea that people had to test every combat phase regardless of whether the wielder was in combat or not. So, the 3rd rank and back don't need to test. |

No it doesn't. Read it again. It says all models fighting with (ie using) a plague censer (ie the weapon), not all models fighting with (ie against) a plague censer bearer (ie the model). |

All models fighting with a plague censor, and any model (friend or foe) in base contact with one or more models fighting with a plague censer bearer must take a toughness test. It means precisely that. And actually that's not ridiculous. Ridiculous was the idea that people had to test every combat phase regardless of whether the wielder was in combat or not. So, the 3rd rank and back don't need to test. No. only models in contact will take T test. Not the 2nd rank. |

The second rank is in contact with a model fighting with a Plague Censer, namely the first rank. |

Well it says fighting with a plague censor not with a plague censor bearer. I think thats what he is getting at. |

PL is right, and it's not particularly ridiculous. The plague censer bearers in combat will test. So will the enemies in base contact with them. So will friendly models in base to base contact with them. The point is that they are emitting a gas cloud when swung in combat, which will affect both the wielder and anyone touching him. The change is that ranked up models will not test outside of combat. Otherwise it's the same as before. (oh, and the way it was worded before, it seemed as if the wielder wouldn't have to test. This is no longer true either.) |
