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.
