Hi!

Excuse me, but some time ago someone said that shuriken are the same of
bolter, if is true peraphs we should add a note.

I'll add an example, especially for the woods edge.

---->Okay, although I plan on diagrams when we do the gold edition.


Since there are some weapon that gain a bonus on saving trows why don't
add
that a units with no save gain a 6+ save and cut off from the weapon
description?

----> That’s a very good point and something worth mentioning.

Well, we need to know WHAT'S are considered vehicles, add a table?

I'm going to do what I did in Heresy. In the notes section of each unit
we will add: infantry, vehicle, walker, titan, etc. Thus making clear
what pinning class and type of unit it is. It eliminates all doubt and
confusion.


> >I'm not sure about knights, what say you?

I'd said no... Knights a very huge, so is logical (to me of course) that
is
expected to take hit from all side.

----> I'd say if we don’t give them damage tables (which virtually
everyone has said no to), then give them all around armor. Of course
we'll see what others say, but this may be a poll soon.


I agree with Emiliano, add an "artillery barrage".

----> this will be also solved by designating units artillery barrage or
artillery open sheaf in case of units who cant combine barrages.


I disagree, I think Titan's rule are "Core".

----> Some will be, others like points value will not.
