BLOOD ANGELS FAQ

Q. How do you work out the victory points for a Death Company squad?
A. The victory points of a Death Company squad is equal to the total points value of any additional Death Company models and extra wargear purchased for the squad. For example: a Blood Angels army contains six units that allow one Death Company model to be added to the initial unit composition of the Death Company squad. This six-strong initial squad is a normal scoring unit worth 0 victory points. If the player decides to add two models to the squad (+60 pts) and to equip the entire squad with Jump Packs (8 x 5 pts, for a total of +40 pts), the squad is now worth 100 victory points.

Q. The Blood Angels Whirlwind has two types of missiles listed in the summary? How does this work?

Q. Are all of the models that are in base contact with Mephiston affected by his Transfixing Gaze psychic power?
A. Transfixing Gaze affects all of the models in base contact with Mephiston, and each one must test individually.

Q. For Transfixing Gaze, how does this work if the transfixed models are part of a unit, as normally you cannot direct attacks against specific members of a unit?
A. Treat each transfixed model as a separate one-model unit, in the same way as an Independent Character engaged in close combat. Any attacks directed against a transfixed model hit automatically, but can only damage that model and not the other members of its unit.
