FAQ Updates

[AverageBoss]

Its been a while since I checked the basic Fantasy FAQ. There are 2 updates of import that I found.

1. The Power Scroll has been completely changed. 35 points and cuts the casting value needed for a spell in half, but the spell can not be boosted.

2. Multi wound models give out combat res for wounds inflicted again instead of simply getting the entire profile worth of wounds upon the models death. Killing Blow still gives you the entire package regarless of how many floating wounds there are.

Also the new Chaos Dwarf FAQ is out, and I dont know what any of it means. However the net is abuzz saying it means every CD army out there will take as many Magma Cannons, Destroyers, and Ash Cloud spells as possible. Something about never being able to even hurt the Destroyer with a Strength below 5 and something about the ability to wipe any non swarm army off the feild in 3 turns (elite armies take 2).

But again, I know nothing about the CD book so I do not know the validity of these claims nor the meaning of the FAQ in general.

The Destroyer is a 300+ point elite unit and one of its abilities are rolls to wound are -1 on the roll or something like that. It also has to roll a toughness test every turn to see if it takes d3 wounds. Magma cannons are pretty rough, mean versions of dwarf flame cannons. I would like to see what happens when dwarves come out however before I say they are OP.

Ash cloud is a Hex spell with various effects. I do not think it is the default spell though. Seeing as only daemonsmiths and a mage is the only Lord option you will not have many.

A CD gunline is nasty but like any gunline very boring to play and play against and has all the weaknesses of a normal gunline with the added weakness of not very many models. Dwarves at least can put out blocks of shooty troops. CD have the option but you are paying 18 points per model and only have 12" range.

Its just normal hysteria of a new army that plays differently than other armies out there.
Interesting to see GW did a FAQ though, says to me that means they are accepted officially.
Do me a favor and put up a link.
