Thats a crap attitude to have IMO. Most people I know recognise and use the FAQ's from GW. That is the point to them being published. They are not issued out for a laugh or anything!

This goes back to my comment about the part in the WPS pack about reading into rules to gain an advantage. I am sure when the Wood Elf FAQ's are done properly (like the Dwarf one which recently came out) this will be included.

this subject has been brought up on the gw warhammer forum and recieved the following replies http://uk.games-workshop.com/apps/eshar ... emplate=uk

the general gist of everything in there is that the kb ability is not given to the hail of doom arrows
Death is near.


Beastmaster kurlan: hmm i dunno itl definately go to tournies anyway, as he has the spear and hod anyway, but its in blakc and white so woohoo kb hail of doom.
Me: I h8 u lol :P

Ok,

After having a look at the FAQs they have over there (btw...what a great forum it is :shock:) I realise they are not just unofficial, but not even GW sanctioned, just done by random people on the forums. This for me decreases their validity.

However, with that said, alot of the suggested FAQ's there are pretty decent and make sense. I still think the killing blow Hail of Doom is pushing things a bit far...

They have come from the designers in the past (as far as 40k goes). A lot of those questions are "official" in some sense.

Any ranged KB gets silly. Just imagine a blood dragon casting gaze of nagash...

also a hoda negates all affects of magic bows for that shot so really that would mean that if you used a kb u need precision and what the hoda rule is saying is that its one shot which then splits and loses all aim which would make a kb impossible without amazing luck

Right ok. I must admit I didnt check out the soruce of them. Regardless, they mostly make alot of sense and are probably things that would be cleared up in the "official" FAQ.

:lol: I wonder what beastmaster kurlans opinions on that are?!

hi all im back, ok on the vc idea im not sure if it says attacks in cc, if not then same thing but im not entirely sure on magic but im not arguing that im arguing that the faq you pointed otu is unofficial, and chris soem would say a bad attitude is taking 2 earthshakers tto a battle :P . ok if it gets put in an OFFICIAL faq, then ok fine.
i cant seem to make friends! add me to msn you losers!

Ok,

Well now I have a 7th ed rulebook I can clarify that in 7th, this combo will definately not work as it specifically states Killing Blow only works in combat (though it states some exceptions are noted in army books - Waywatchers I presume).

Sorry Kurlan!
