I wonder if the other gods will get their own Dexs' too. The rules seem legit.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, yes.

Called it. lol

Highlander

I apologize. I agree with you. lol

Well you could just say both. I don't know of anyone who can take Gargantuan Creatures though, in a normal game.

I just think it'd be simpler if people just set the limitation base on the Unit Type (Super-heavy).

I know, I'm only trying to bring this back to the original disscussion. Limiting LoW doesn't limit all Super-heavies.

Sure, if that's how you want to read it. I'll agree to disagree. Imperial Knights are still not LoW, which means the orginal point still stands. Limiting LoW is a poor limitation.

Yes, though Imperial Knights have an 'Other' Battlefield Role, which means they are not LoW, while the Decursion Detachment specifically says it doesn't use Battlefield Roles. Formations- "Unless stated otherwise, each individual unit maintains its normal Battlefield Role when taken as part of a Formation." The Decursion Detachment states otherwise.

It means what it says it means. It literally says that the Decursion Detachment has a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles. Are you going to wish away what Battlefield Roles says about Imperial Knights too? You're being silly.

Battlefield Roles are defined. So no. I mean, you can call them by their Unit Type and just say only one Super-heavy, that is in your codex, is allowed for your league or tournament or just ban Super-heavies all together. Though, I believe, naming Battlefield Roles is a poor limitation cause it's not covering what you mean to cover.

My bad, technically what I said isn't true. It's a little too broad. Formations- "Unless stated otherwise, each individual unit maintains its normal Battlefield Role when taken as part of a Formation." So units within formations normally keep their Battlefield Role. Battlefield Role- "Some publications introduce other types of Battlefield Roles, such as Imperial Knights, and will include all the rules you need to include them as part of your army." So Imperial Knights have their own Battlefield Role, which is not LoW. Forces of the Necrons- "Unlike the Detachment shown in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules, it has a Force Organization Chart whose slots are a combination of specific Formations and Army List Entries instead of Battlefield Roles." So Necron unit using the Decursion Detachment don't have Battlefield Roles, though I suppose you could consider Core, Command and Auxiliary the Battlefield Roles. Core, Command and Auxiliary are referred to as complusory and optional elements.

LOW is a Battlefield Role, however if I use a Detachment that doesn't have a FOC or use Battlefield Roles, then the units don't have them. This includes Super-heavy Vehicles and Gargantuan Creatures. The escalation rules related to Super-heavy Vehicles and Gargantuan Creatures, and other rules like them, should have referenced Super-heavy Vehicles and Gargantuan Creatures, not LoW.

I have a dumb question, where is this event held? I don't see location info in the post.

Okay, thank you for the clarification.

Some tournaments, and some players in general, basically have a rule in their tournament FAQ or a house rule that any wargear or special rule that causes Wound or Penetrating hit, without rolling To Hit, can't affect Flyers or FMCs. There's no bases for this when talking about RAW or RAI, though I believe it's for balance and/or realism. For example, Imotekh's Lord of the Storm special rule wouldn't affect Flyers or FMCs.

Will the Necron C'Tan Shard of the Nightbringer's Gaze of Death be played RAW, or are there any rulings on it for the tournament?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. lol

This is also interesting. I feel like could be the case for Harlequins, Inquisition, Militarum Tempestus and Officio Assassinorum.

That's an interesting Idea. No more than one of any one detachment could be fun. :)

So to bring it on home, my answer is we should keep it to, two to three detachments.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I do like the changes though, overall.

It's not a pissing match. We are just talking about GW. We are off topic though.

I'm specifically talking about things like Imperial Knights, Harlequins, Crons, Supplements, formations, ect. :)
