ITC 2016 2nd Quarter Update Poll
Follow this link to cast your vote!
The burning 40K questions this quarter are:
Should we allow vehicles with the walker type to choose to change immobilized results on the damage table to weapon destroyed results?
Yes, I think we should allow Vehicles with the Walker type to choose to change immobilized results on the damage table to weapon destroyed results.
No, I think vehicles with the Walker type should not be allowed to change immobilized damage results to weapon destroyed results.
Would you like to see the Death from the Skies supplement used in the ITC at this time?
Yes.
No.
If the Death from the Skies supplement is used in the ITC, would you like to use the Dog Fight phase? Please note, removing the Dog Fight phase would also eliminate the Air Superiority rule which can apply a -1 or -2 (with the Air Superiority detachment) modifier to enemy reserve rolls.
Yes, I would like to use the Dog Fight rules in the ITC.
No, I would not like to use the Dog Fight rules in the ITC.
If the Death from the Skies supplement is used in the ITC, how would you like to apply those rules to Forge World flyers which do not have a Combat Role or the Pursuit and Agility stats which are required for participation in Dog Fighting and other aspects of the Death from the Skies rule set.
Use them as is: without a Combat Role (Attack Flyer, Bombers, etc.) pursuit or agility stat. This means they would not participate in the Dog Fight phase, nor would they be able to perform Break Turns. However, they would be able to use the Flyer Wings rules (without any of the benefits of Attack Patters due to not having a Combat Role) and could be taken in the Air Superiority detachment.
I would like to see the ITC give them Combat Roles and Pursuit and Agility statistics based off of similar aircraft. They would then use all of the rules for Death From the Skies until such a time as Forge World addresses their role in relationship to this supplement.
If the Death from the Skies supplement is used in the ITC, would you like to see Attack and Bomber aircraft retain Skyfire but have a -1 to hit Flyers and Flying Monstrous Creatures applied to them similar to the rule for Fighter aircraft firing on ground targets?
Yes, I would like to see Attack and Bomber aircraft retain Skyfire but have a -1 to hit applied when firing at flyers and flying monstrous creatures.
No, I would prefer for Attack and Bomber aircraft to lose Skyfire per the Death from the Skies printed supplement.
The ITC has suggested altering the Phase Form Psychic Power from the Angels of Death supplement as follows: Warp Charge 1, and to allow the user to either ignore cover or line of sight, but not both simultaneously.
Yes, I would like to keep the suggested ITC rules alteration limiting the user to either ignore cover or line of sight, but not both simultaneously.
No, I would prefer to play the rule as written in the Angels of Death supplement allowing the user to ignore line of sight and cover simultaneously.
Do you want to see the Shifting Worldscape psychic power used in the ITC format? This power allows players to move terrain around the battlefield up to 24″, sometimes moving units inside the terrain as well.
No, I do not think this power should be used in the ITC format.
Yes, I think this power should be used in the ITC format.
If the Shifting Worldscape psychic power is used in the ITC format, the ITC has suggested altering the power as follows: the controlling player may move a terrain piece in a straight line along the table. It may not move over intervening models and at no point may it move within 4″ of another piece of terrain or enemy unit. It otherwise obeys all other rules of the power.
Yes, if the Shifting Worldscape power is allowed in the ITC, I would like to keep the alterations listed above.
No, if the shifting Worldscape power is allowed in the ITC, I do not want to use these alterations but use it as it is written in the Angels of Death supplement.
The ITC has suggested altering the Electrodisplacement psychic power as follows: this psychic power treats the target units as Deep Striking when moved and therefore being unable to assault in the turn Electrodisplacement is used. Further, the power may be used on units locked in close combat but if done, targeted units must be placed more than 1″ away from previously engaged enemy unit(s) and will no longer be locked in combat.
Yes, I would like to keep the suggested ITC rules alterations.
No, I do not want to keep these rules alterations and would prefer to use the Electrodisplacement as written in the Angels of Death supplement.
Previously in the ITC, we voted to prohibit Eldar Corsairs Jet Bikes from using their Reckless Abandon rule during Overwatch, which allowed them to shoot and then move 6+d6″ away from the charging unit. Would you like to see this previous ruling overturned, allowing Reckless Abandon during Overwatch but restricted to a 6″ move for all unit types?
Yes, I would like to see all Eldar Corsair units be able to use the Reckless Abandon special rule as a part of Overwatch, but be restricted to a 6″ move for all unit types.
No, I would prefer to see the prohibition on the Reckless Abandon rule for Eldar Corsairs Jet Bikes stay in place.
The Eldar Corsair psychic power Warp Tunnel allows the controlling player to move their Psyker and a unit they are attached to or a non-vehicle unit within 6″ to move to any point on the table without scattering or misshaping, and then shoot and assault. Do you think this power should be altered for the ITC as follows: Warp Tunnel may be cast on units containing only models with the Corsairs faction.
Yes, I think this power should be altered to only work on units containing only models with the Corsairs faction.
No, I do not think this power should be altered but should be played as it reads.
When do Daemon units use their Daemonic Corruption special rule? This allows the Daemon Player to hold an objective even when the unit moves more than 3″ away from it for the rest of the game until an enemy unit moves within 3″ of said objective and “Cleanses” it.
Units with the Daemonic Corruption special rule may only use it at the end of their movement phase.
Units with the Daemonic Corruption Special Rule may use it at any point in their movement phase, choosing one objective they’ve moved past to corrupt.
Games Workshop has released a series of first draft FAQs on their Facebook Page. They have stated that these are works in progress and that the final drafts of the FAQs will be posted as PDFs on Games Workshop’s site when they are done. We do not know when this will occur: it may be several months or more from now. Do you want to use these FAQs now in their draft form for the ITC knowing that rulings may change at any time at Games Workshop’s discretion?
Yes, I would like to use the draft versions of the Games Workshop FAQs, understanding that they may change at any time and current rulings may not reflect the final draft version of the FAQ.
No, I would prefer to wait until the Games Workshop FAQs are in final draft form, understanding that that may be several months or more in the future.
If the ITC adopts the first draft Games Workshop FAQs, do you want the ITC to keep the FAQ’s current version of the grenades in assault ruling, limiting a unit to using a single grenade in the assault phase regardless of the number of models equipped with grenades?
Yes, I want the ITC to keep this ruling, limiting a unit to using a single grenade in the assault phase.
No, I do not want the ITC to keep this ruling and would prefer to allow units to use more than one grenade in the assault phase so long as they are equipped to do so.
If the ITC adopts the first draft Games Workshop FAQs, do you want the ITC to keep the FAQ’s current version of the Void Shield Generator ruling or would you prefer for it to be able to stop any or all of the rules it lists as effecting Void Shields: Grav, Melta, Gauss and/or Haywire special rules?
I would like to keep the current draft version of the Games Workshop ruling meaning the Void Shields are not immune to the special attacks listed: Grav, Melta, Gauss and Haywire special rules.
I do not want the ITC to keep this rule and would prefer for Void Shields to be immune to some or all of the following special rules: Grav, Melta, Gauss and/or Haywire each of which is specified in the following poll questions.
If the ITC vote to allow the Void Shield Generator to stop special attacks passes, would you want to include Grav weapons on this list?
Yes, I think the Void Shield should be immune to Grav weapons.
No, I do not think the Void Shield Generator should be immune to Grav weapons.
If the ITC vote to allow the Void Shield Generator to stop special attacks passes, would you want to include the Melta special rule on this list?
Yes, I think Void Shields should be immune to the Melta special rule. (This means Melta weapons would not get the bonus D6 for armor penetration but would otherwise function normally)
No, I do not think Void Shields should be immune to the melta special rule.
If the ITC vote to allow the Void Shield Generator to stop special attacks passes, would you want to include the Gauss special rule on this list?
Yes, I think Void Shields should be immune to the Gauss special rule.
No, I do not think Void Shields should be immune to the Gauss special rule.
If the ITC vote to allow the Void Shield Generator to stop special attacks passes, would you want to include the Haywire special rule on this list?
Yes, I think Void Shields should be immune to the Haywire special rule.
No, I do not think Void Shields should be immune to the Haywire special rule.
If the ITC adopts the first draft Games Workshop FAQs, do you want the ITC to keep its current ruling stating auras do not work from within transports?
Yes, I would like to keep this ruling meaning that a unit’s aura ability will not work from within a transport vehicle.
No, I would prefer to allow a unit’s aura ability to work from within a transport vehicle.
If the ITC adopts the first draft of the Games Workshop FAQs, do you want to keep its current version of the Drop Pod ruling, counting the doors as part of the hull of the Drop Pod? This ruling means a Drop pod’s foot print goes from roughly 4.5″ in diameter to 9.5″ in diameter, and the open doors would block movement and models inside could disembark from them.
Yes, I would like to use this FAQ ruling.
No, I would prefer for the ITC to treat the Drop Pod’s doors as not counting as part of its hull, meaning models may move over them and they cannot be used for the purposes of disembarkation.
