Death of the tri-land raider Dark Angel list, and other FAQ updates...

No meaningful updates to the Chaos Daemons codex in 2 months...  Argh, the pain of it all!

Here are a few things that did get an FAQ:

• Instant Death does not remove 2 bases on Swarms.  This has been debated on the Interwebz for years; now we have an answer.
• The DA Power Field Generator does not apply to vehicles when the unit is embarked.  No more tri-land raider shenanigans.
• Gunslinger does not allow for multi-witchfire hotness.  Can't say I'm suprised here.
• Yes, templates can deviate out of LOS and still kill things (thank you very much).
• Abaddon can not be spawned or turned into a Daemon prince through Dark Apotheosis.  Way to write in a whole new rule into the codex.  Hello, Bueller?  Where are the C:CD FAQs?
• C:DA - the SoD applies to Boltguns, TL Boltguns, Combi-boltguns and Hurricane bolters.

You can find all the deets here:

Questions about the new codex for a GW FAQ

Dakka is compiling a good thread on all of the questions that are being asked on the interwebs.  Here or some of my favorites.  I also go on record on how I think they should be ruled and how I think GW will rule.

I'll keep updating this thread for a few days with my thoughts.  As someone reminded me, we should have an FAQ within 9 days.  Everyone knows Tzeentch's number is best and since Phil and I share the same first initial and last name we must have some connection.  So, on the 9th day (which will be this coming Sunday) give or take a day we'll have a C:CD FAQ.  Anyone want to wager on the over/under?

Chaos Daemons FAQ (1.2) is live

Games Workshop has posted a minor update to the Chaos Daemons Codex to answer questions that didn't need to be answered, and in doing so has shoved their foot down the back of their throat.  Anyone who was claiming that the revised Screamer, Flamer and new chariots were not Daemons and didn't have invulnerable saves were a bunch of idiots to begin with.  I'm just saying.  Further, most of them are Grey Night players who are sore that daemons can butt hurt them as bad as they were taking other armies until recently.
