This update changes the following:
- Last Stand from 8th Ed for standard bearers re-added (was missing from the book).
- Removed additional Fear bonus from outnumbering their foes (to avoid snowballing Leadership penalties too much with Terror and other special rules and/or spells).
- Clarified that in order to have Immunity (Fear, Panic, Terror), the majority of the models in that unit must have that special rule.
- Units must pass a Ld test in order to charge Terror-causing units. If failed, they can attempt to re-direct the charge following the normal rules.
- Fixed bug with Large Target requiring unit size 40 instead of unit strength 40+.
- Moved Look Out Sir rule to Character chapter instead of Champions, since Champions no longer use it. Clarified that Look Out Sir only applies to units of the same troop type.
- Characters with a different troop type with a higher Unit Strength than the rest of the unit are only hit by normal missile attacks on a 4+ (does not apply to Towering units).
- Clarified that Feigned Flight applies both when choosing Flee and Fire & Flee.
- Clarified what constitutes as both missile and close combat attacks.
- Clarified that you may not shoot templates (on purpose) into close combat, regardless of distance.
- Removed part of unit needing to be 5 models wide, this is instead clarified for each troop type.
- Clarified that units may reform into less than 5 models wide temporarily (so fast cavalry and skirmishers are not penalties).
- Moved Signature spells and Lore attributes section to Choosing Spells section.
- Clarified that Striking order Initiative includes bonuses from both weapons and spells.
- Clarified that the amount of wounds caused by Killing Blow is based on the model's remaining Wounds, not the Wounds on the model's profile.
- Clarified that hits on Monsters and Handlers are allocated towards the monster if the handlers are dead.
- Swarms only move 6" with the Vanguard rule.
- Volley Fire does not require Line of Sight.
- Pikes get +3 Initiative when charged rather than +2.
- Clarified that shields and additional hand weapons works with magic weapons. In the case of two hand weapons, the extra attack does not benefit from the magical weapon's rules unless both weapons carried are magical.
- Changed so that obstacles remove charge bonuses from the attacker, same as a buildings. War Machines counts as obstacles in close combat.
- Clarified that bolt throwers also pivot to fire rule like other war machines.
- Swarms do not block line of sight.
- Removed mention of Champions from the Sniper rule. Clarified that you can use Multiple Shots with Sniper special rule.
- Clarified that if you have another weapon than a hand weapon, you must use it in combat, but not all the time (so you can use shields and halberds against missile attacks).
- Changed so that only Infantry, war beasts and swarms can garrison buildings (ogres hardly being to squeeze into a normal doorway anyway). Moved part of different troops types and buildings to the buildings chapter.
- Added Lightning Attacks, getting +1 To Wound against models wearing medium/heavy/full plate armour, and ignoring armour saves against these troop types. Urannon's Thunderbolt and Chain Lightning are Lightning Attacks.
- Added Ice Attacks, causing enemies in base contact to suffer -1S and -1I, or -1M and -1I if used as a missile attack. Iceshard Blizzard is an Ice Attack.
- Moved Sentient rule to Special Rules.
- Relic Sword 20 pts.
- Parrying Blade 20 pts, is no longer an additional hand weapon.
I aim to get back to working on the Warriors of Chaos book after New Year's, so it should hopefully be finished sometime in January.
