  WARHAMMER 40,000
  IMPERIUM NIHILUS:
  VIGILUS DEFIANT
  Official Update Version 1.2
  Although we strive to ensure that our rules are perfect, 
  sometimes mistakes do creep in, or the intent of a rule 
  isn’t as clear as it might be. These documents collect 
  amendments to the rules and present our responses to 
  players’ frequently asked questions. As they’re updated 
  regularly, each has a version number; when changes 
  are made, the version number will be updated, and any 
  changes from the previous version will be highlighted 
  in magenta. Where a version number has a letter, 
  e.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in 
  that language, to clarify a translation issue or other 
  minor correction.

  Change to read: 
  ‘When a friendly Ultramarines Character model 
  within 3" of this unit would lose any wounds as a result 
  of an attack made against that model, this unit can 
  attempt to intercept that attack. Roll one D6; on a 2+ the 
  model does not lose those wounds and this unit suffers 
  1 mortal wound for each of those wounds. Only one 
  attempt can be made to intercept each attack.’

  Movement phase.’

  Q: Is the Vengeful Arbiter a bolt weapon, for rules that interact 
  with such weapons (e.g. the Bolter Drill Stratagem)?
  A: Yes.
  Q: What are the differences between the Stalker Pack’s Saga of 
  the Savage and the Saga of the Wolfkin?
  A: The Saga of the Savage has a Deed of Legend that is 
  slightly easier to achieve, but its effects only work when 
  an affected model has made a charge move, while the 
  Saga of the Wolfkin works not only when an affected 
  unit makes a charge move, but also when it is charged or 
  performs a Heroic Intervention. 
  Q: How does the Stalker Pack’s Blood Scent Stratagem work 
  against Ork units that have used the Mob Up Stratagem? Is the 
  number of models in the unit when it is merged considered to be 
  the unit’s initial size, or are prior casualties from either of the 
  original units enough to allow the use of this Stratagem?
  A: If either of the units that were combined with the 
  Mob Up Stratagem had suffered casualties before the 
  Stratagem was used, the merged unit counts as having 
  suffered casualties for the purposes of this Stratagem.
  Q: Is the Master of Biosplicing Warlord Trait from the Servitor 
  Maniple Specialist Detachment treated as an ability that repairs 
  a friendly Adeptus Mechanicus model for the purposes of 
  the Autocaduceus of Arkhan Land Relic? 
  A: Yes. 
  Q: If a Tech-Priest Dominus takes the Doctrina Foreas Servo-
  Skull, what D6 roll is required to change the battle protocols of 
  Kastelan Robots?
  A: 2+.
  Q: When using the Anointed Throng’s Devotion Till Death 
  Stratagem, can a model slain in this manner pile in and fight 
  even if this move would take the model out of coherency?
  A: No. It must end its pile-in move closer to the nearest 
  enemy model, but if this would take it out of unit 
  coherency, the move cannot be made.
  Q: What is the Armour Penetration characteristic of an 
  attack made with a shuriken weapon by a Windrider Host 
  Farseer Skyrunner model if the wound roll is a 6+ and it is 
  being affected by the Tempest of Blades Stratagem?
  A: -4.
  Q: If a unit of Wraithblades is targeted by the Psytronome of 
  Iyanden relic and the Wrath of the Dead Stratagem, what is 
  their Attacks characteristic that phase?
  A: 5. When modifying characteristics you always apply 
  any multiplication or division (rounding fractions up) 
  before applying any addition or subtraction. 
  Q: Can an Emperor’s Fist unit that Advanced use the 
  Unyielding Advance Stratagem to shoot its turret weapon twice?
  A: Yes.
  Q: Does the Hammer of Sunderance Relic count as a turret 
  weapon for the purposes of Grinding Advance?
  A: Yes.
  FAQs
  Q: Does the Rise from the Shadows campaign rule affect hit rolls 
  made for Overwatch?
  A: No.
  Q: Does the Deadly Contagion campaign rule affect Infantry 
  units that start the game embarked aboard Transports?
  A: No.
  Q: In the Crucible of War: Convoy mission, how does the Signal 
  Flare Stratagem work in the following example: a unit with 9 
  bolters and a missile launcher fires its missile launcher at a 
  target and scores a hit – if the Stratagem is then used, can I re-
  roll hit rolls of 1 for the attacks made with the bolters?
  A: Attacks can be made one at a time, as per the core 
  rules. Once the first model has hit the target, you 
  can play the Stratagem and re-roll hit rolls of 1 for all 
  remaining attacks made by that unit (and other units) 
  that target that same enemy unit in that phase.
  Q: In the Crucible of War: Hold Your Gains mission, does a 
  unit count as moving for the purposes of the Dug-in Defences 
  Stratagem if it redeploys via a rule such as the Craftworlds 
  Phantasm Stratagem?
  A: Yes.
  Q: When paying Command Points to upgrade a Detachment 
  into a Specialist Detachment, is the Relic they are able to give to 
  a Character in addition to the Relic they would typically get 
  from their Warlord’s faction?
  A: No. The Relic(s) listed within a Specialist Detachment 
  can be given to a Character from your army instead of 
  one from your Warlord’s codex. Don’t forget, however, 
  that many codexes contain Stratagems that enable you 
  to gain additional Relics.
  Q: Do modifications to Haarken Worldclaimer’s Attacks 
  characteristic due to his Head-claimer ability last until the end 
  of the battle?
  A: Yes.
  Q: Is a Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves or 
  Deathwatch Detachment also a Space Marines Detachment?
  A: No. As defined in Codex: Space Marines, a Space 
  Marines Detachment is a Detachment that only includes 
  units with one of the following Faction keywords: 
  <Chapter>, Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, 
  Salamanders, White Scars, Raven Guard, Iron 
  Hands, Crimson Fists or Black Templars.
  Q: If a unit makes a shooting attack outside of the Shooting 
  phase (such as a Soulburst action in the Fight phase) against 
  a Liberator Strike Force unit, can it retaliate with the 
  Paragons of Dorn Stratagem?
  A: No.
  Q: If High Marshal Helbrecht is part of a Sword Brethren 
  Specialist Detachment, can he have the Master Swordsman 
  Warlord Trait from that Detachment?
  A: No. High Marshal Helbrecht must always have 
  the Oathkeeper Warlord Trait as detailed in Codex: 
  Space Marines.
