I just noticed that the new ETC-FAQ is released, and can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11F6qQpGqsDjizrWCps3EJemQPfZGkzgaUU6RkMI1hDQ/pub
This is the first widespread FAQ that I've seen that covers the new Dark Elves.
To save you the click, this is what is said about Dark Elves:
Code: Select all
Q: What kind of ward saves can be used against Arnzipal's Black Horror? Can you use Regeneration?
A: You can use only generic, all purpose ward saves and Magic Resistance. Cloak of Twilight works. The spell doesn’t cause wounds so Banner of the World Dragon and other Ward Saves against wounds caused by magic and similar do not work. No Regeneration.
Q: Does Strength of Khaine allow rerolling wounds not caused by close combat attacks?
A: No.
Q: Can Cauldron of Blood or Bloodwrack Shrine join Skirmishers or units with mismatching bases, like cavalry?
A: No. Also, the unit joined needs to be at least 60mm wide to be legal.
Q: Does Bloodwrack Shrine really affect the leadership of specific models?
A: No. It affects units within range.
Q: Do the Reign of Chaos result Dark Prince Thirsts! and Slaanesh Forsaken ignore the ward save of Doomfire Warlocks?
A: Yes.
I was hoping for an errata for the CoB leadership (only unit in game that has zero?), some ruling on the Tomb of Furion spell selection process, and I also hoped for a clarifications on Strength of Khaine and wounds caused by Chariots or other mounts (the whole Chariot technically has the rule). Still, this is a very good start and I think it removes the biggest issue which is reroll to-wound for shooting/magic.
Also, the following is said about Vampire Counts:
Code: Select all
Q: Can an engaged Terrorgheist use Death Shriek against units it is not fighting? What protections work against Shrieks and Howls?
A: Yes. Note that Banshee may not us her Howl in this way. When Howls and Shrieks are used against units not in base contact with the model making the attack, they’re ranged and shooting attacks, meaning Stormbanner and Pha’s Protection work against them. When used against btb units, they’re still shooting attacks, but no longer ranged attacks.
Since they get defined as Shooting, the cloak works against Banshees and Terrorgheists as well.
