Exactly. It seems after all Withershadow is part of the illiterates of the forum

You can still play them as Yinnari I suppose...

Q: There are no datasheets for Corsair Princes or Corsair
Barons – are there datasheets I should use for these models?
A: Use either the Corsair Cloud Dancer Band, Corsair
Reaver Band or Corsair Skyreaver Band datasheets
(whichever best describes the model) with the model
taking the place of the unit’s Felarch.

Oh gee, I guess they DO have HQ options. This isn't even new information, it's from the old version of the FAQ because it's not in Magenta. I don't even play Corsairs and it took me 5 seconds of RTFM to find an answer.  

So I guess I am quite literate after all, and I got another [EDIT DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND]ILLUSTRIOUS PARAGON OF 'LEDGE! (the 'know' is silent, the 'ledge' is the ideal outcome) to add to my list.

Get a loada this guy here.

This guy is a quality Mensch, I tells ya.

You're misreading that. It's stating that Corsairs don't have HQ units, and if you have a model that would have been a HQ choice previously you should use it as a sergeant for a Troop or Fast Attack unit.

I appreciate that I'm almost certainly on your ignore list, but nowhere does that FAQ say that they become HQs. Nor even separate models.

All you're getting is permission to pretend that the Felarch of one of your Corsair squads is actually a Prince or Baron.

Thank you Burnage for explaining this gentleman how to read.

BTW, I believe that openly offending other members of the forum (drooling idiot), is against the policies of the dark city. Can a mod please take care of this?

It always seems that the more condescending you are in your replies to people, the higher the chance you're going to make a mistake in your correction...

But I agree, the lad should at least get a warning about being respectful... No need for name calling and hurling insults.

"How do I represent my HQ model that no longer has rules?"
"Use the other data slates and replace the Sgt with your HQ model."

If you're going to be snarky, at least get your facts straight.



And I thought this forum was of sterner stuff given the kind of rows I see you folks get into. But sure, if that's overstepping the boundaries of the forum, warn/suspend/ban away as is proper.

You appear to be under the impression that this means that you should treat the sergeant as a HQ choice, when in fact the words "replace the sergeant with your HQ model" mean "replace the sergeant with your HQ model".

You seem to be under the impression that an "HQ model" is not an "HQ model".

Mayhaps you should take your own advice, since thus far you've done nothing but proved that your comprehension skills are abysmal.

Nowhere in the rule you quoted does it give you permission to treat the Felarch model as a HQ. Literally all you are permitted to do is use a Corsair Prince or Baron model in place of a Felarch model. That's it.

So Ynnari will not benefit from Obsessions at all? This is great yeah?! Not if they want to benefit from Ynnari special rules?

If it doesn't have rules, then you can't really say it's an HQ model... It could theoretically be anything.

Really? That is really what they mean? I am not sure, because so far when GW does deign to intervene in these little silly rules squabbles, I am batting a 1000 to your goose eggs. Just use a modicum of common sense.

Which of these conversations is more logical? Imagine you're talking to GW.

"How do I represent my HQ model?"
"Like this."

OR

"How do I represent my HQ model?"
"Like this... PSYCH! Your army is not legal! Eat a dick, AHAHAHAHAHA!"

As someone with Corsairs (Hornets, Warp Hunters, Balestrikes, Prince's, Barons, Void Dreamers, Reavers, Cloud Dancers, Corsair Venoms, etc..) Corsairs are dead as an army, they are now just there to have a couple units to make players not pick up Pitch forks against them.

So wait, how would you actually run Corsairs now? Is it possible?

You can run the few units in Ynnari, thats about it for Battle Brothers rules.

You can play Narrative and do what you want tho.

withershadow wrote:

Not at all, I just recognise that the rules are capable of making a distinction between a physical model and the unit that it represents.

This is absolutely an oversight - of course GW doesn't want units that they provide current rules for to be virtually impossible to run - but that doesn't change that right now they don't have any valid HQ choices nor any abilities which give them exceptions to the standard detachment rules.

Dawnstone wrote:

Lots of aux. support detachments. That's it. You can't take them in Ynnari or Aeldari detachments, because neither of those are legal any more.

Ah yes, auxiliary support detachments. Well, at least it's not impossible to field them, just garbage.

This FAQ hasn't changed my 2k list other than providing me with +4CP for no apparent reason, yay battalions I guess?... A real shame we are stuck with more restrictions on our already highly restricted army, but in terms of our overall effectiveness this FAQ is probably a net buff, considering how hard other factions like Tyranids & Chaos got hit.

Seconding the request for mod intervention. There's a difference between heated discussion and just being a twit.

Anyway let’s not forget that battle brothers is still just a beta rule. They will hopefully scrub it a little before making it an actual one.

I only respond in kind.

Oh, sadness, that's why I haven't run into him anymore.


Can we try and keep this discussion civil? And I don't mean arrogantly justified civil, I mean actually civil?

Shots (splinters?) fired up in here! Is this the gladiatorial arena?
