| So what I still don't understand is how you actually play this. I can't see how your interpretation makes it possible to delay coming onto the board until turn 2, but surely you don't force them to come in on turn 1? So do you say that formations in the webway are exempt from the "all formatio... |

| A plague tower carrying unbroken cultists is assaulted by vicious ultramarine tacticals with their supporting Rhinos. The Ultras chose not to use the Intermingled formations rule to avoid the cultists. Just to be clear, declaring them to not be intermingled is not an option. A WE transport in an as... |

| Should War Engines count as a single Unit for garrison purposes (meaning you could Garrison an 8DC Titan by adding a single scout unit to the formation), or should it count as its number of DC for Garrison purposes (meaning you could Garrison an 8DC Titan by adding 8 scout units to the formation)? ... |

| First of all are you mixing the units in a formation? or have them more dedicated one type? (normal and tornado) Also are people using the typhoon? they are a bit more expensive +25 points swap. And how many in a formation? Mostly dedicated to a single type, although some players think it is nice t... |

| I don't understand the argument that the Infantry-AV effect is not a terrain effect. It's listed in the section titled "Terrain Effects." 1.8.4 Terrain Effects ... Armoured Vehicles: Infantry count as being in cover and receive the -1 to hit modifier... It's listed in the same place and fa... |

| And let's be frank about it, if you don't play to exploit range stretching, situations in which it makes a difference don't happen very often It never happens anyway, because in most cases it would be phenomenally stupid to try to "exploit" it. Movement and formation positioning in the GT... |

| I can't see any reason why you would want to stretch weapon ranges intentionally. Why have ranges, if you don't care anyway ? Why have a LOS and than get rid of it by mixing a single indirect weapon, orby having a single unit lurking around the corner ? It's not intended to get rid of range and LoS... |

| As for the question, the existence of the "no LOS required" weapon doesn't grant line of sight for the formation. It is only an exception for those particular weapons. The rest of the weapons would require LoS as normal in order to fire (which everyone seems to agree is obvious) and any re... |

| It would be easy to do the math. Compared to a straight 2x shots, you'd gain 50% more "pips" for the third shot, minus 3 for the modifiers. Whether a particular weapon system gained or lost would be dependent on where it started. 2+ = +1/3 hit 3+ = +1/6 hit 4+ = even 5+ = -1/12 hit 6+ = -1... |

| Securing a supply of Grotz is an ongoing problem due to the ratios in which they have been packaged over the years. First, I suggest basing your Grotz differently. If the Boyz are on long bases, put the Grotz on squares or rounds. That makes it clear which stands are which at a glance, even if you'r... |

| That being said, modifications are made to army lists - why not change Deth Koptas to bring them in line with current fluff? What Pixelgeek is getting at in his post is that not every 40K ability has a direct transfer over to Epic. The difference in scale sometimes means that abilities don't make e... |

| Currently a Void Spinner is a lot better than a Night Spinner formation. I understand that the immediate thought is that they have nearly the same weaponry and a similar role, so they are supposed to be the same, but that's not the case. It's not an even either/or trade-off of nearly equivalent for... |
