WARHAMMER 40,000 ERRATA & FAQS

Errata

Page 41 – Multiple Combats, Attacking.

A third bullet point should be added, as follows:

• Models that at the beginning of the combat

(before any model attacked) were engaged with

more than one enemy unit, but were in base

contact with just one of the enemy units, must

attack that unit.

FAQs

Q. Can a model use a psychic power that is not a

Psychic Shooting Attack if it is embarked in a

transport vehicle?

A. Yes. If the power requires line of sight, this is

still worked out from the vehicle’s fire points

(this will count as one model shooting through

that fire point if the power is used in the

Shooting phase).

If the psychic power does not require line of sight

and has a range or an area of effect that is

normally measured from the model using it, these

are measured from the vehicle’s hull, as

explained in the Embarking section on page 66.

Page 42 – ‘A normal and a special weapon’, first

paragraph.

The second sentence should be changed to:

All of their attacks, including the bonus attack, use

the special weapon’s bonuses and penalties.

Q. Do psychic shooting attacks grant cover saves?

A. Yes, as long as they cause wounds. Cover saves

are taken against wounds caused by psychic

shooting attacks, not against any other ‘weirder’

effects of the psychic power.

Page 46 – Morale while falling back.

The paragraph should be changed to:

Units that are falling back automatically fail all

Morale checks.

Q. If I find a reference to a unit that is ‘pinned’,

does it mean a unit that has gone to ground?

A. Yes, ‘pinned’ is simply a short way of saying

‘gone to ground by failing a pinning test’.

Page 71 – Ramming a skimmer.

The first sentence should be changed to:

Skimmers that are not immobilised or stunned

may try to dodge […].

Q. Can bikes Turbo Boost during their Scout

move?

A. Yes they now can, but remember that they

have to remain more than 12” away from the

enemy as they move.

Q. Can models move off the table?

A. Not unless a rule or the mission being played

clearly specify that they can. All good wargamers

know that the edge of the table is the end of the

world!

Q. Is a Regroup test a Morale check? For example,

I have a falling back unit within range of a

banner that allows units to reroll failed Morale

checks – can I use the banner for a failed

Regroup test?

A. No and No. A Regroup test is a special type of

Leadership test, not a Morale check (which are

taken in the three situations described on page

44).

so in the example above, the Lash of Submission

would still work normally onto the unit and the

unit would still be ‘gone to ground’ in its next

turn. In other words, the only benefit of going to

ground is to increase a unit’s cover save, so if you

don’t have to take any cover saves (e.g. you have

been hit by a flamer), don’t bother!

Q. If models disembark from a transport into

dangerous terrain, do they take a dangerous

terrain test? Unlike Pile-in or Consolidation

moves, disembarking does not specifically states

that it doesn't trigger dangerous terrain tests.

A. Dangerous terrain says you test for every

model that has 'entered, left or moved through'

the terrain. As there is no exception in the text,

disembarking models do have to test. However, if

they disembark at the beginning of their move

and then move after the disembarkation, only one

test is needed, not two.

Q. How does a monstrous creature’s 2D6 roll for

armour penetration in close combat work if the

creature’s Attacks have the Rending rule as well?

A. The player gets to add a D3 to the total for

each dice that comes up with a 6. So, if either of

the two dice is a six, the total penetration roll will

be 2D6+D3+S; if both were 6s, the total would

be 12+2D3+S (which you don’t need to roll

anyway, as it is more than enough to penetrate

the thickest armour!).

Q. On page 59, the rules for the arc of fire of

pintle-mounted (or bolt-on) weapons address

those mounted on turrets and those mounted

directly on the hull. But what about those

mounted on smaller structures (like a Rhino’s

cupola) that look like they can rotate 360º, even

though they aren’t proper turrets?

A. Remember that the rule is: if it looks like you

can point the gun at it, then you can, even if it’s

glued in place’. The rest is just a set of guidelines

about the arcs of fire of weapons glued in place,

and does not cover all possible weapons

mounting and vehicles. If the structure the gun is

pintle-mounted on is obviously capable of

rotating 360º, like in the case of a Rhino’s cupola,

then it should be treated as having a 360º arc of

fire. However, if you mount the same storm

bolter on a Razorback, even though it still can

rotate 360º, it won’t obviously be able to fire

through the Razorback’s main turret, and so it

will have a ‘blind spot’. In the same way, the

shuriken catapult mounted under the hull of a

Wave Serpent, Falcon, etc. looks like it can rotate

360º, but it does not look like it can be fired

through the main hull right behind it, so we

normally play that it can be fired roughly in the

180º to the vehicle’s front, which seems like an

acceptable compromise.

Q. Must passengers fire at the same target that

their vehicle is firing at?

A. No, they are a separate unit (albeit they are

temporarily co-existing with the vehicle) and so

can fire at a different target.

Q. Can a ramming vehicle’s Strength go above

10?

A. No, only a vehicle’s armour value makes

exception to the ‘Maximum 10’ rule for

characteristics.

Q. Can a unit with the Fleet special rule assault

after disembarking from a transport?

A. No, it cannot. The Fleet rule simply removes

the prohibition of assaulting after running.

Army Specific Questions

Q. How many kill points is an Imperial Guard

Command Squad worth? Is a Junior Officer and

his four Guardsmen worth 1 point or 2?

A. A Command Squad is an independent

character and his retinue, as defined on page 48

of the rulebook. The rulebook clearly states on

page 91 that a character and his retinue are worth

1 kill point each. Therefore the enemy gains 1 kill

point for killing the Junior Officer, and 1 kill

point for killing the accompanying Guardsmen.

Q. Can a unit go to ground if affected by attacks

that do not cause wounds (e.g. lash of

submission)?

A. You might, but such a move would be foolish,

as it would have no effect other than stopping the

unit from doing anything of its own volition in its

next turn. The rules are quite clear that anything

the enemy inflicts onto the unit works normally,

Q. My Imperial Guard or Black Templar Codex

says that dedicated transports can only be used

by the unit they’ve been bought for. Is that

overruled by the new way dedicated transports

work in 5th Edition?

A. No, if a Codex clearly says that dedicated

transports can only be used during the game by

the unit that bought them, that overrules the

general rule in the rulebook, as normal.

Obviously some armies are stricter than others

about transport regulations!

Q. If my Codex includes some options (or other

rules) that seem to have no effect in the new

edition (like the Thornback biomorph, which

makes the model count as double the number of

models for the purposes of outnumbering the

enemy in combat resolution), are you going to

publish an errata to change them to something

else that does work?

A. No, if an option (or a rule) clearly has no

effect, like in the case of the example above, it

simply does nothing. We think it’s simpler to just

leave it until the next edition of the Codex rather

than change its effects through an errata.
