So, Shadows is dumb then. Grumble. Sorry/not sorry about Jaws.

Hah, well it was probably going away in the next codex anyway. It never worked for me anyway (apart from that one game against Russell) so I can't complain.

Yeah, SW now does have Leadership-test-free Split Fire and Counter Attack, so that's awesome.

Man, disappointed they didn't see *anything* wrong with the way the Shadows works...was hoping it would be something along the lines of a -1 to activate warp charge dice, or an automatic 6 for deny instead of getting the +1 for AW, having a ML, or being a higher ML.
My dark eldar are happy - splinter weapons now count as S1 across the board instead of "S -". If I'm ever rolling against T1 enemies, I get rerolls to wound now! (never going to occur, ever).

Haha how many spore mines can you fit into 1850? 315? Holy crap, just cover the board and prevent your opponent from doing anything at all. Also, as silly as it sounds, if you have questions on anything in the FAQ or rulebook, and want answers - email Gamefaqs@gwplc.com. The more people that ask the same questions, the more likely they are to include it in the next update. Its most likely that the rules that were FAQd in this first round were the rules they had intended to fix in the first place, so they always knew they would include them. They need community guidance in order to make clear the intention of any of the other rules you're curious about. A perfect example is the inclusion of the husk blade in the Dark Eldar FAQ a few years ago...enough people asked if it was supposed to be AP2 under the new edition, since power weapons as a whole became AP3...and they acquiesced. I would encourage everyone, nids players or not, to ask them if they intend to update Shadows in the Warp in accordance with the new psychic phase. I know I did And if there are any other questions we as a group want answered, why not harness the powers of the community and get all of us to rally behind you in asking GW to FAQ it?

Spore blasts can get up to S9, so no worries on that front. They just have to make it into assault, which actually makes them better vs Vehicles due to lack of overwatch... heh... I still think Spores should be as many "broods" as you want in a single Fast slot. Hmmm, a single chance at a moderate-strength Blast, or a Crone... let's think about that... momp.

I think the best part about an Unbound Spore Mine list is that you nominate one Spore Mine as your Warlord. In which case I would use my Spore Pod as my Warlord Spore Mine and probably roll on the Strategic Table. Outflanking Giant Spore Mine!
Oh and actually, Poison got a nerf: your Strength has to be higher than the opposing Toughness for the re-roll. So, yes, the change to Splinter Rifles was purely aesthetic?

Oof, also, Toxin Sacks on any Nid gribblies is pretty fuckin garbage. Not that it was super great in the first place. Oh well, at least we know it's useless now.
