Somethings up…. The twin-tailed comet of Sigmar is super-imposed over all of the game system names on the left side of the splash page of the US Games Workshop site…. Anyone know what's up?

I dunno on that, though they did just release a new FAQ for the BRB…

Here are a few I found interesting…

 

Q: Does an Independent Character count towards the
number of models in a squad when determining if it is
above half strength? (p48)
A: Yes he does. So if an Independent Character joined a
unit of 6 models there would need to be reduced to 2 or
less models for it to be below half strength.
Q: Can smoke launchers be used after a walker makes a
Run! or consolidation move? (p62)
A: No, they can only be used in the Movement phase.
Q: In a multiple combat involving opposing vehicles and
non-vehicle units are wounds caused by the Destroyed –
Explodes! result on the Vehicle Damage table counted
towards the combat total? (p63)
A: Yes all wounds caused in this way will count. Unsaved
wounds caused to enemy models will count to your
combat total and unsaved wounds caused to friendly
models will count to your opponents combat total.
Q: If a transport vehicle is destroyed in the same turn as it
moved flat out what happens to any embarked models? (p70)
A: They are removed as casualties.
Q: Does the Furious Charge special rule give +1 Strength
to attacks made with a close combat weapon that strikes
at a specific Strength value? For example are hits from
Gabriel Seth’s Blood Reaver resolved at Strength 8 or 9
when he has Furious Charge? (p75)
A: No. Hits from Gabriel Seth’s Blood Reaver would still be
resolved at Strength 8.
Q: What happens when a unit arrives from reserves but is
unable to completely move onto the board? (p94)
A: The unit is destroyed and removed from play.
