1 CP Gain limit

[tylertt]

I had something I was wondering about after getting my Indomitus box with the new rules today.

The section on Command Points states you can never gain more than 1CP per turn regardless of how or when. So does this mean our Feeder Tendrils stratagem is pointless now? Or did I miss something?

It will need to be addressed yes, because right now it is 1CP to gain D3 (max 1CP.)

They used to have it FAQ'ed that feeder tendrils was an exception. I think I hat might have been base rule book FAQ which they still haven't released.

To make matters worse, you gain one in the command phase, is that included? Asking for a friend.

Is the refund only a chance gain one back early if you opponent goes first?

Read somewhere that the 1cp in command phase does not count towards the limit.

Feeder tendrils has its own FAQ under CA previously., Alongside Trajan's and one other WLT.

[Hive Bahamut]

You gain 1CP per command phase and can regen 1 per turn, for a max of 2 a turn. I imagine this will change over time, and it would be nice to see others have to do something to get CP as well. Genestealers killing a character is very specific.

All publications, including faq and errata still count until they say it doesn't.

Faq for tendrils stands until said otherwise

I wouldn't think an 8e FAQ on an 8e chapter approved would apply for 9e.

I think the big thing people are forgetting is codex over ride the rules. Rule says you cannot run and charge, codex says a unit can charge after running. Rules say you can only gain 1 CP a turn, strat says you gain D3 CP. I mean sure they can FAQ it but the codex always have stuff that override core rules.

They said themselves that every publication will count and be used until replaced in the new edition. That must include all errata and FAQ on said publications.

Chapter approved is a yearly update though. They invalidate the rules/FAQs when they publish a new one.

True, but misleading.

The 8th ed FAQs obviously are still in effect - for 8th edition. We are talking about 9th ed now though.

My friends and I started playing in 4th ed, with some books (*cough* Necrons *cough*) still stuck in 3rd ed. Every once in awhile we feel nostalgic and use the 4th ed books with the 4th ed core rulebook. The (minimal) FAQs released back then are **still in effect**, and we still use them, but that has no bearing on 9th ed.

Just because 8th ed came right before 9th doesn't change anything.

Just go read their own words.
