So i've been trying to familiarize myself with the rules better and had some quick questions.

First off, is their a quick reference sheet anywhere so i don't have to keep flipping threw the book? Also i printed a copy of the rules from the GW website about a month ago. Does this version have all the eratta and what not in it, or do i need to download and print those also?

I had a questions about formations having to shoot at the same target, for instance if you had 3 Baneblades and they can be 15cm apart to keep unit cohesion, can they shoot at their own targets? Like if you kept them far apart with interviening terrain inbetween them, not all in the formation might not be able to see the same target so does that waste the shots from the baneblades that cant see? Or can they shoot at other targets they might be able to see?

Have a character question, if i add a chaplin to a unit, can i base him individually as a single model or is it common to replace 1 soldier from a base with the character thats added to the unit? Does it matter? will i be going against the grain? The reason why i ask this is, maybe i wana swap in a librarian for my assault squad rather then a chaplain, or my supreme commander.

As far as supreme commanders go, what happens when your overall general dies?

They all have to shoot at same target. Shots are formation to formation, specific die rolls or hits depending on line of fire and range restrictions, etc as in rulebook. If not all baneblades can see same target then some might waste their shots. Also remember war engines like baneblades block line of fire, whether friend or foe.

If you add a character to a unit then you add a character to a unit. He's not by himself. You can either swap later (don't glue them! use blu-tack or something if you must) or just do many character stands (4 regular blokes + character).

Nothing happens when a general dies except he can't take any further part in the battle as you can imagine.

p.s.: chaplin was a comic actor, not a type of space marine

There is a reference sheet although it is a bit hidden. Page 5 of this document should suit your needs:

For basing, take a look at the forum member "Dave" and his threads in the Epic 6mm forum. He basically uses a single painted Chaplain, Librarian, etc that the places on the stand. I believe both the character and base are magnetized.

As Carlos said, when your Supreme Commander dies, he's just out of the game. This does mean you do not get your once per turn re-roll anymore.

Another quick question, i don't understand the whole marshaling rule. how many blast markers can be removed with this move? is it just 1?

Roll 2d6 and pick the highest dice, remove that many blast markers (+1 for every leader in the formation)

A marshal action allows the formation to either move or shoot with a -1 modifier. It may then regroup. Regrouping means roll 2D6 and take the highest. This is how many blast markers to remove.
