8th Ed. Tiny Little Tip of the Day

[Stormfrog]

lucky bastard arent you the guys who get supporting attacks for PF, free upgrades for carnosaur and D6 roars from trog too? ^^

Oh how I wish that were true But no, we only get to add chiefs to ripper/terradon units. They don't really invent rules who are already hammered down, they just fix stuff GW seems to have overlooked. So frankly yes, they should be licensed to re-invent the entire troglodon...

I should perhaps have mentiond that we here in Sweden play under a special Swedish ruling called the "SweFAQ", which currently enables us to have characters on rippers/terradons join units of rippers and terradons respectivly. They perform special rulings sometimes for rules they find are rather obviously intended in one way, but due to a loop hole are prohibited (much like this one), or perform rulings on contriversal rules which GW have yet released a FAQ on, so as to make tournaments more streamlined and without arguments concerning rule intepretation.

Is there a web page where we could see those SweFAQ rules? Maybe even in English (I know that as a Finn, I'm SUPPOSED to know Swedish, but alas, that is not the case. Shame on me, really.). I'd be interested to see what kinds of amendments you guys make.

Also, as much as it seems that Chiefs on flyers should be able to join Terradons/Rippers (especially Tiktaq´to) and that it seems to be a mishap on GWs part to forgot to add a rule for that, it is not the case. You can always, in a friendly game, ask your opponent if they are ok with it and play the way it was "meant" to be, no harm in there. It seems we Lizardmen players have to do that a lot. But if your opponent says no, for whatever reason, I don't see anyway you could show from the Rules-As-Written that you can.

And common sense for the bulk of english speaking countries; where the bulk of the consumers and 100% of the developers exist; logic states that he is greatly overpriced if that is his intended function. Why would they spend capital as a company for profit developing material to never be in use or purchased by a consumer.

People don't have to buy Tiktaq´to, he comes with the Terradon/Ripperdon pack.
