Eg Giant-tripper:
As the title suggests, this is going to a compilation of all the rules issues that have cropped up with the new book (and I have to say, compared to other books there's not many). The first post will hopefully be continually updated with new questions, feel free to bring any others to light and they'll get added. However, before doing so make sure that the issue in question cannot be answered by simply reading the BRB carefully, this is not a topic where questions are actually going to be answered. If you're unsure, create a normal topic and then if a clear answer does not become apparent, let us know.

1. Greasus' Sceptre of the Titans makes reference to impact hits, though Greasus does not have either the Ogre Charge or Impact Hits special rules. Is this an oversight?

2. Does a chain-trap grant the Killing Blow special rule in close combat?

3. Do abilities and items that prevent miscasts have any effect against the miscast roll caused by the Hellheart? For example, would the magic item Cupped Hands of the Old Ones be able to transfer the miscast?

4. As hits caused by Grut's Sickle are distributed as shooting hits, does this mean that the hits could be inflicted upon the bearer if the unit is small enough? Can the bearer use the item if he has not joined another unit?

5. As duplicates of special rules granted by Been There, Done That cannot be taken, can more than 4 units of Maneaters be taken in an army? If so, would they be allowed to pick any special rules?

6. How does the Rune Maw interact with spells that effect multiple units?

7. If an enemy unit in base contact with a unit of Yhetees fails it's fear test, are they reduced to WS 0? If so, are they hit automatically and may they make any attacks in close combat?

8. Can the Ogre riders on a Thundertusk (and the Thundertusk itself) shoot at separate targets in the shooting phase?

9. The Earth-shattering Charge special rule makes reference to 'the two highest dice' when determining the number of impact hits inflicted according to the charge distance rolled. Should the Stonehorn therefore have the Swiftstride special rule, or is this simply 'for completeness'?

10. Are Gnoblars Greenskins? If so, does this mean that any special rules that affect Greenskins also affect the Scraplauncher and Ironblaster (as they have Gnoblar crew)?

11. Does Skrag the Slaughterer count as a Slaughtermaster in regards to the 'at least one Butcher or Slaughtermaster must choose the Lore of the Great Maw' requirement?

12. If a character with the Gut Maw is wounded in a challenge by an opponent who strikes before him, but then recovers those wounds using the effect of the Gut Maw in the same turn, do the wounds inflicted by the enemy upon the character still count towards combat resolution?

Head_Not_Found:
Does the Stonehorn have the Swiftstride special rule? It is not mentioned that it does, but the text under Earth Shattering Charge states that if the "two highest dice" score 10 or more it gains extra impact hits.

No it doesn't. There exist ways to give it Swiftstrider though, in Storm of Magic from what I understand. So the rule is more complete with that wording.

Why would this one need an FAQ? I haven't seen one valid argument for things that prevent miscasts having an effect and RAW is very clear.

Partly because the HH isn't crystal clear on whether it's a miscast or miscast roll - 'yadda yadda can be used against miscasts caused by the Hellheart'.

Far2Casual:
Which WS do models have when they fail a Fear test in close combat with Yhettees ? WS0 or WS1 ?


Can the Ogres riding the Beasties shoot at different targets ?
