Here you go Chris:
"Q: Personal teleporters make the unit with them jump
infantry. How does this affect a Dreadknight with a
personal teleporter? (p28)
A: It is a monstrous creature that moves like jump
infantry."
Allthough I was wrong about nemesis doomfists. It doubles walker str, but they ruled have no effect on the MC, so it's only str6.

Str 6 not 10 is a big difference, it kept me from assaulting you with my wraithlord. That guy with the teleporter is some kinda good, I'm sure we will start seeing more of them around. I gotta tell you I did like that army and how it played/you played it, it was a fun game. Nice not to see the standard GK spam and it played well, I can see that being a good all comers list with a lot of versatility to it.
Now stop F'n around and get painting......

Yeah I just can't get by why they would give it weapons that double str on walkers but not the model using them. My best guess if they still want it to have a force weapon true to gk's, but not the +1 to invuln saves like a sword, and not the init6 like a halberd. It does make sense as they have Hammerhand. Yeah I love the Dreadknight, it delivers every game. I think it killed 26 genestealers by itself when I played Jay. Having "one of everything" makes for fun combinations on the table. I do have to be careful with so few scoring bodies, seize ground will always be my weakest game. The only f'n around I'm doing is taking breaks from painting. Just spent the last 6 hours on this fool:  The good news is with only 35 bodies in the army, it'll still go faster then batching 40 genestealers. |

Nah the gun, sword, and skull are still unfinished allthough I do like that they made Jokaero self-nerfing in large numbers in the FAQ.

sweet thanks for the update, best part of it for me is that our dreads can score with grand strategy, makes 2x twin-autocannon dreads all the more valuable now that they can objective camp with support of course

AFAIK the ork codex FAQ ruled that deff dreads made troops by big meks cannot claim objectives. |

Personally, I think the ruling on the Nemesis Doom fist for Dread Knights is silly. So, even with a successful Hammer hand, the 18 foot Dread Knight has a weaker fist than a Space marine sergeant with a Power fist. I saw the Hammer hand ability on the Dread knight as an important tool when wielding the sword, rather than the fists. Why not just make them strength 8 fists to begin with ... at least then not going to strength 10 would have made sense.

The GK faq is now modifying other armies.
Obliterators being counted as daemons should really be listed in a chaos faq.
