Had my first game of 8th this weekend (CSM vs Astra Militarum), and had lots of fun. We screwed up some of the basic rules (characters are no longer in units/have to charge sperately/etc), and some army specific rules, but otherwise was very impressed. My buddy playing IG was upset that his mech guard can't be played like it used, but has enough models to try something different. And, of course, next time, I'll remember that Khorne Berserkers can attack twice in one round.
Some questions:
When do flyers appear/deploy on the board? I couldn't find anything in the basic rules or index/data sheet that says when/where my Heldrake can come on. Looks like he can be deployed as normal. I know some units can come on anywhere on the board at the end of any movement phase no closer than 9" from an enemy unit (Terminators/Jump troops/Kommandos/etc), but no such rules for my Heldrake or Dakkajet. Anyone know?
Can my Dakkajet shoot at something behind it? RAW, it looks like it can. In the old rules, there were pages of diagrams that detailed how/when/where a pintle mount/turret mount/sponson mount/hull mount weapon can shoot. Of course, for now we are playing it as the old rules, just wish I could find something in the current rules that details it. What say ye, brothers?
