Updated 7/9/2012
All these ruling may be over-ridden by a GW FAQ released upto the 14th September. Thak you all for your questions so far, and your understanding on what is a tricky process...I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to some updated GW FAQ's !!
Q : Can bomb squigs hit a flyer?
A : No. Bombs Squigs attacks are to be resolved as Shooting Attacks which do not use Ballistic Skill, and do not require Line of Sight (so cannot Snap Fire - P-13 in Rulebook). Flyers are ignored for the purposes of target selection.
Q : Can Imotekhs Lord of the Storm ability hit Flyers?
Yes, it has the chance to hit all opposing units (not fortifications)
Q : What is the Chinork's FOC slot and unit construction?
A : It is a 1-3 Fast Attack choice
A : other units missing their types in Imperial Armour Apocalypse 2nd Ed are;
Lifta Wagon - Heavy Support
Grot Bomm Launcha - Fast Attack
Chaos Comtemptor - Elite
Q : Can Burna Boys use their flamers for Overwatch, and then as Power Weapons in the Assault phase?
A : No. in each player turn they may either use their flamers as Flamers, or Power Weapons.
Q : What type of Power Weapon does a Burna count as?
A : It is an Unusual Power Weapon (in every sense!)
Q : Can Line-type attacks (e.g. Necron Death Beam) hit flyers?
A : All line-type attacks will be considered to be of type "Blast" (only with a blast marker 1mm wide, and as long as the line). As such No, as Blast weapons may not hit Flyers.
Q : How do I assign Wolf Guard/Royal Court to units?
A : Assign them at the start of each game. Their individual cost will count for the squad for any VP and missions.
Q : Can Bjorn the Fell-Handed be my Warlord?
A : Yes, if he is your only HQ he can be your Warlord. He has, however, no assumed leadership, and you cannot re-roll for Leadership-based results (in the same way that armies with no outflanking units etc cannot reroll for irrelevant results). The result "Inspiring Presence" would effectively be useless for you...
Q : Can Psychic Powers be used in Overwatch?
A : No.The only power eligible for Snap Shot is Witchfire, and that clearly says (page 69 of hte rulebook) that they may only be activated in the Psykers shooting phase.
Q : Do Fortifications count for First Blood?
No...they count as terrain, not as units.
Q : Is a Trygon Prime a Character type model?
A : No...Trygon Prime stays as Monstrous Creature (Mc) type
A : Yes they are (see GW FAQ)
Q : Can Flying monstrous Creatures Deep-Strike in Swooping Mode?
A : Yes they can, however the act of Deep Striking counts as a movement of 12-24" for that turn (i.e. not further movement once they are placed after Dep Strike). Glide/Swoop must be declared before placing the model and rolling for scatter.
More generally...any model with the deep-strike rule (Zooming Flyers etc) is assumed to have met the minimum requirements for movement as part of the action of deep-striking. No additional movement is allowed in the movement phase.
Q : Does a Grounded Flying Monstrous Creature still count as Swooping for purposes of rolling to hit?
A : They are still 6's to hit. They only lose Jink and Immunity from assault after a Grounded effect.
A : Once Grounded they revert to Glide Mode (see GW FAQ)
Q : What powers do Daemons have (codex rule or rulebook rule)?
A : Both...they are not mutually exclusive. All Daemons from the codex have Fearless, Invulnerable, Daemonic Assault and Daemonic Rivalry as per the codex/FAQ amends (and these state that they are for all models in the army). If they have no save listed (such as the new White Dwarf models) they gain the 5++ save from the codex Daemon rule and Fear.
Q : can Chaos Daemon allies use Icons to assist in Deep-Striking?
A : No...Icons only apply to Daemons summoned from the Chaos Space Marines codex
A : If the wording of the Icon says "all friendly units" then yes, otherwise no (see GW FAQ)
Q : What is the unit type of a Winged Daemon Prince? Is it Jump Monstrous Creature or Flying Monstrous Creature?
A : Although there are rumours (via Throne of Skulls) that this will be changed in an upcoming FAQ, they are Jump Mounstrous Creatures.
A : They have the "Flying" type (see GW FAQ)
Q : Can infiltrators charge/assault in their first turn if going second?
A : Yes...as per the rulebook whenever it refers to a turn this is a player turn unless specifically stated elsewhere
Q : Do you get cover saves for Malediction Powers?
A : No...cover saves are for wounds caused by shooting attacks (you could claim cover for WitchFire attacks though...as these are a form of Shooting Attack)
Q : Can Psykers with a Ballistic Skill of Zero use Beam and Nova psychic powers?
A : Yes...these powers require no ability level in Ballistic Skill.
