First for STOP NERFING SICARIANS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Best girls a sexy tau girls

re-posting from a thread that was dead by the time I finished typing

Can someone help me out here? I played a game against a Thousand Sons player earlier and got absolutely destroyed, but when I read through the Chaos index later I didn't see half of the shit that he was talking about or if I did the way he thought the rules worked were just plain WRONG.

And some of them I can't even find where he got them at all...

for example:

Death to the False Emperor is only supposed to happen on a roll of 6+. He was claiming it every time he hit.

He was claiming a 4++ on all his units, and I cannot find any reason for this in the rules. Tzeentch favoured seem to get 5++, but not 4++.

In addition he was re-rolling all saving throws of 1 on his tzeentch terminators when in 6'' of Ahriman (and across the board from Ahriman before I politely called him on it)... but you're only supposed to re-roll invulnerable saves. So we were only wounding these terminators on double rolls of 1s, basically.

The last thing I can think of is he for some reason had the idea that by putting his sorcerers on a disc it improved their invulnerable save by 1 by giving them the daemon keyword. Furthermore, since he claimed that the invuln was 4++ instead of 5++, this made their invulns 3++.

So what gives? Does this guy just not know his own army's rules or is there some rule I'm not seeing?

I know some of his rules were just plain wrong, but I'm wondering about the daemons and the discs and the 5++ vs the 4++.

Anyone have any insight?

Now that we've seen how GW is handling the FAQs,
will the codexes make the situation better, or much much worse?

Never has anything brought to mind the phrase 'fish lips' more than now

>He was claiming a 4++ on all his units, and I cannot find any reason for this in the rules. Tzeentch favoured seem to get 5++, but not 4++.
All is Dust gives him +1 on his armor and invul saves if the weapon D stat is 1. Any higher or even D3/D6 means it's standard 5++

>Terrain was meaningless, the swarmlord could be targeted from behind a building because his sword was poking out

Doesnt matter since he was accompanied by 6 tyrant guard.

>will the codexes make the situation better, or much much worse?
See previous thread. They won't do anything.

Dude was outright cheating. Next time tell him to show you in the rulebook where it says any of that, until he does, you play it as normal. If he reeeeeee's, pack up your shit.
