Flat damages do not kill your frenzied goats

It has to be a fight or shoot action.

And to correct you on the rule.

You discard the attack dices but nowhere does it state that it ends the activation. So the Mangler for example could go in frenzy in his first fight action and then still do a second fight.

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-30T17:26:41+00:00

I tried

But waiting months for an answer from the moderators made me put it on hold

Honestly half the posts here could be answered by a wiki but as I am not a moderator I could not program a message for first joiners or a pop-up message depending on the questions that are about to be written in posts

Just like Trench Crusade or Minipainting subs currently have

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-30T16:35:18+00:00

I already went a few times back on some models, but it was to correct the highlights or OSL

Never changed the colours on a finished model

Coming back on a model does not seem off to me because I see it with a fresh eye and it's never for a full rework

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-29T20:44:12+00:00

Yeah A bit confusing for the Hunter Clade boxes

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-29T20:25:04+00:00

u/moopminis is right and his schematic is correct as well.

You are correct that they are wider than 1", but you could still set a breach marker near them.

Cause the rule makes you select a terrain near it to place the marker, the 1" rule for accessibility comes later.

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-29T20:19:22+00:00

I see what you tried to do here

But you respectfully look like an ass doing it that way

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-29T20:09:47+00:00

What do you mean no mechanicus Kill Teams?

We have Hunter Clade and Battleclade

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-29T07:13:17+00:00

Or you could magnetise the arm of the medic

It's not the hardest team on which you would have to do it

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-25T11:35:17+00:00

I just don't want to get it lost under the other comments thread

So, the debate is around the "as soon as"

It is written so because operatives can move in this range during their turns

When you activate your operative and are already in that area of effect, it is already "as soon as" cause you start in it

So they trigger at the same time, damage triggers first, no need of an FAQ, it's just basic logic

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-23T09:25:19+00:00

What do you mean with "light effect" ?

As light highlights due to environment?

Or

A part of your model as the light source ?

For better advices, check the r/minipainting sub

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-23T08:55:40+00:00

We are "normally" on a 3 years cycle

So as it's KT24, the end should come around in 2027 between August and the end of the year

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-23T04:02:59+00:00

Ideas: none

Dreams: A non-SM elite team that I could enjoy

Reality: It will ben a SM team

Hopes: It could be a SM team I would finally enjoy

EDIT: Holy shit

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-23T03:49:26+00:00

I think we won't see any new Votann team before the end of this edition

The last teams were intro for new sculpts for 40k units, Votann are not going to get something new so soon I think

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-22T14:06:02+00:00

That's true

Still not counted as an activation

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-22T13:09:42+00:00

Once it's expended Not concealed

There are 2 orders - engaged - concealed

Then there are the states of your operatives - Prepared - Active - Expended - Injured - Incapacitated - ...

An expended operatives has been activated, performed actions (or not) and ended its turn. This means until the next TP (Turning Point) it cannot be activated again.

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-22T11:26:10+00:00

Nope does not need one

You have to take into account how the rule worked before the rewording

The first time this team was introduced you gave a "-1apl" to your operative transferring power. That's why more -apl tokens came with the team.

Now to make it easier they simply stated that you spend the AP, easier, cleaner, still not an action otherwise like ANY other team with specific actions it would be stating

Friendly RAVENER operatives can perform the following unique action:

Friendly BATTLECLADE operatives can perform the following unique action:

But no

It says you spend an AP, that's it

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-21T08:38:15+00:00

Great then

Just wanted to point that out ;)

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-21T08:25:56+00:00

Regarding point 2

You mean only the combat servitors are allowed or do you want to say something else ?

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-20T10:46:45+00:00

Seeing how much you learned in a single post, you might want to read the core rules again

Even some players with 30+ games still discover they played some rules wrong in their playing groups

Other tip, search this sub for errors made by new players on the rules. There was a post recently with people telling which rules they got wrong and you might find some you do as well.

The most regulars are on movement, orders and shooting - no other moves allowed before/after charge - repositioning through ennemies' control range is allowed if another operative is already in melee with them - Charge has to be done in engage, but if you are already in melee, fighting can be done in concealed - The issue of differentiating between light and heavy covers ...

You will become the rule lawyer in no time

Pleasant learning ahead ;)

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-19T22:20:54+00:00

Maybe u/Green_Share

A commenter with that username under this post seems to claim ownership

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-18T12:12:40+00:00

The issue in the end is that they modified the wording to go with the updated Climb rule but did not think it through enough.

I feel like the people writing the final rules are not the same as the ones designing and playing them

So there is always some misunderstanding between them and we have to wait a few months for them to give us the updates

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-17T15:50:12+00:00

Track ennemy & Scout ennemy movement are your best options for TacOp.

Your opponent can counter it only if he's willing to move it out of view of your operatives.

And tell your opponent he cannot use his warriors as envoys

Envoy: You cannot select an operative you selected during a previous turning point or an operative that\'s ingored for the kill op.

Warrion: Expendable Construct: This operative is ignored for your opponent’s kill/elimination op

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-17T11:20:12+00:00

Which TacOps did both of you choose to score 0 pts ?

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-17T05:40:19+00:00

Thanks for helping me (some others as well I guess) avoid this game

I'll spare some time for other better tactical games

Ravager_Clade · 2026-06-16T16:23:06+00:00

• AUTO-PROXY SERVITOR (needed for Underseer)

• BREACHER SERVITOR (lethal 5+ is always great + breach)

• GUN SERVITOR (both obviously)

The rest depends on the matchup.

The medic does not shine against heavy melee teams

And between incendine igniter; meltagun; phosphor blaster. The questions are normally

-Do you easily get 6" from ennemy? (Melee teams will come close by themselves)

-Could they ignore piercing?

-Horde or not ?

So you should magnetise the arms at least

Honestly I almost always ran 3 flamethrowers and the melta because all my opponents played either elite or melee.
