40k rulebook Faq drafts are now live

For those that might have missed it: GW has been using facebook to compile the new Faq documents:

Somethings that strike me as effecting the IG:

- templates hit everything underneath them, so setting up in a multi story ruin is pretty dangerous. (There was a lot of discussion about this in my Meta)

- only one model per unit may trade in its CC attacks to use a grenade

- scattering blasts and templates placed according to the rules for templates, can hit invisible units as normal.

- a unit can jink after being hit by a scattering blast


I'm sure there's more in there, but I havent read all of them yet.

Wyverns got better too, they can now reroll all there barrage templates!

Oh! Does that mean that flamers are now the appropriate counter for invisibility that they always should have been?

You still can't target an invisible unit with a flamer.. but you can shoot it at something behind the invisible unit and hit the invisible models underneath the template.

Another fun fact: tanks can now get a coversave by parking on a piece of area terrain... that crater will now give your Russ a 5+ cover save.

The bit on characters seems to be written by someone who hasnt read the rulebook though... some rules that seemed pretty clear to me are now directly contradicted by the faq.
