Just wanted to ask if you could give a page reference for the Dedicated Transport rule - them being the same unit type as what they were bought for. Had a bit of disagreement as my Dedicated Transport was parked on an Obj and the enemy Troop unit moved onto it as well. In this instance, which unit would "hold the Obj" or would they both contest as they are both technically Troops?<br />Cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941431390560681925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-35506443280093803572014-06-13T00:50:21.758+10:002014-06-13T00:50:21.758+10:00Ruins, rubble, forests are still providing cover s...Ruins, rubble, forests are still providing cover saves and the models do not have to be 25 percent obscured.

They still have super competitive lists but they are just all over the place in regards to internal balance.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments mate!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199060698563105464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-20598797778693146062014-06-10T04:11:51.760+10:002014-06-10T04:11:51.760+10:00Yep, and it is as ridiculous as it sounds.

I hope they thought hard about what this would mean for Tyranids, who kind of depended on that to survive. <br /><br />Unless this is one of those deals where GW has The Way You're Supposed To Play, and the things that made Tyranids so dependent on abusing cover were things that GW thinks you aren't supposed to and so they didn't bother to playtest them.halojones-fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473935330204075559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-23120997420323049132014-06-10T02:03:08.518+10:002014-06-10T02:03:08.518+10:00RE: "Objective Secured" in Battle Forged...RE: "Objective Secured" in Battle Forged. Doesn't this mean that an Eldar player could take a few jetbike trios, have them faff about the whole game trying not to get shot, and then on the last game turn just bum-rush all the objectives? Even if someone was already there, Objective Secured means that they don't get any points for it.halojones-fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473935330204075559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593111645312644614.post-77358935422386232692014-06-10T01:57:11.726+10:002014-06-10T01:57:11.726+10:00RE: Challenge rules.

This meant a Wraithknight - for example - could stand in front of a forest but still get a cover save because it was partially on the forest's base. As far as actual in-game effects go it will only really affect monstrous creatures a lot, but you also have to think about the interaction with Barrage weapons. <br /><br />The only way to get cover saves from terrain against Barrage weapons was to actually be standing in area terrain. Now, Barrage weapons completely ignore any form of cover provided by terrain outside of something like standing in a crater.
