Good news, a Tyranid FAQ has finally been released!

Bad news, it's on the Spanish site (follow link here on BoLS)and is therefore in...spanish.

Worse news, there are only 4 items listed. And since I am monolingual, I can't translate it.

There's the news at the mo'

P 81. Armas and Biomorfos. All-consuming. The paragraph in cursive replaces preceded by an asterisk by: “If a enemy unit suffers one or lower because of an all-consuming one and is required to realise a control of moral at the end of the phase, the unit will undergo a -1 to the leadership.”

Well...that certainly clarifies it all for me!

Gives a whole new respect for people who translate for a living.

Don't know why the holdup for the english version of the FAQ. I mean, it's not like GW staffers converse/write in spanish and have to have everything translated into english, is it?

But...if that is what they do, it explains a lot about how the rules are written!

lol ok looking through it I think they may just be translation issues in the spanish codex..

I just spent a few minutes looking at the FAQs and the rulebook, it looks like all the issues in the spanish version were taken care of in the english version.

Guess the english FAQ is still long to go and far away.

A Spanish ork FAQ was also released, which clarified the deffrolla rules so that it could be used to ram vehicles.

a spanish release is pointless for us english players.

living on the border of spain i have found that the game is very different, certain rules and actions are interpreted differently (cant remember some examples of the top of my head), however this is why we cant play in spain. Also if spainish teams enters a UK lead comp etc, they run the rule that the UK version overwrites the spanish version
