See this is how I thought it worked all along. Invis out of the book is just too damn powerful

Q: How does the Invisibility psychic power work in relation to nova and beam powers, and Template
and Blast weapons not initially targeting the invisible unit?
A: You cannot choose to target an invisible unit with such attacks, but should models from the unit
end up beneath the template, marker or line of fire, then they can be hit using the normal rules. The
invisible unit would be hit if it was on the line of a beam, if it was in the range of a nova, or if a blast
ended up being scattered onto it. For Template weapons, as long as you follow the rules – ensuring
that the template ‘covers as many models in the target unit as possible, without touching any other
friendly units’ – then if the invisible unit was also fully or partially under the template, it would be hit.

yay, no more arguments over this stupid ****.

Q: Can Gargantuan Creatures shoot all of their weapons at different targets, or can they only shoot
two different weapons at two different targets?
A: They can shoot all of their weapons, at different targets if desired.

Q: Can a Monstrous Creature charge multiple units?
A: Yes.

whaaaat?!

Yeah Dash.....

Q: When I am using ‘long’ or ‘oval’ Cavalry/Bikes/Monstrous Creatures’ bases, am I allowed to pivot
the base on the spot to gain additional movement like vehicles would?
A: When making a move, you have to take into account how far all parts of the model have moved.
Or to put that another way, trying to come up with a way of making a move that allows a model to
move ‘further’ than its maximum movement distance is illegal. It is not allowed for a model to move
6" towards or away from something, and end up more than 6" closer to or further away from it!

wow...

Q: When a model has Furious Charge as well as a power fist, does the 2x Strength modification
happen before the +1 Strength modification?
A: Yes.

HAHA yay!

Q: Do Flyers, Super-heavy vehicles, Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures and Gargantuan
Creatures gain cover while standing on the ‘base’ of a terrain piece, e.g. ruins or dense thickets, or
do they need to be at least 25% obscured by the scenery for cover to apply?
A: The 25% rule applies in all types of terrain if the target is a Flyer, Super-heavy Vehicle, Flying
Monstrous Creature or Gargantuan Creature. All other targets count as being in cover if they are in
or on the terrain’s base, even if not 25% obsured

I don't understand this one,

Q: A ruin (e.g. a Shrine of the Aquila) is treated as difficult terrain, but does this mean that models
can move through the walls?
A: No.


You've always been able to koolaid man through walls as it's assumed they are blasting through or whatever. Is this question just ambiguous because the example is the Shrine?

They have not ALWAYS played S9. It did not become an issue until 7th Ed. even though it was FAQ'd in the last GW FAQ.
