        It says in the description of the Vortex SHW that
it's one-shot only. So yes, this is a silly question.

        Not familiar with the ork list, but unless Pulsas
are vortexes or use special rules, why would they only fire
once per game?

        This should probably be rephrased so that it simply
asks which of a list is the correct interpretation.

        Penalties for BMs are taken off after you decide
where you want to allocate your FP, so the answer has to
be the first one.

        BMs are taken off after you declare targets,
determine your total FP, etc. So the answer is (b),
since you can't use the assaults' FP.

        The only genuine FP-BM related question that I
can think of (since the BM-vs-SHW debate has been solved)
is whether you subtract BMs before or after the penalty
for being on assault orders. I'd say after, but the rules
are unclear on that one.

        Except for the rampaging Q & maybe the pulsa one,
these are all pretty much answered in the books.
Admittedly the BM-related ones aren't explicitly stated,
but the answers are still there.
