WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINES1
WARHAMMER 40,000 CODEX:
SPACE MARINESOfficial Update for 6th Edition, Version 1.2
Although we strive to ensure that our codexes are perfect,
sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionally
print new versions of our rules, which require amendments to be
made in older versions of our army books. When such issues
arise, we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptly
as we can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all of
our army books. When changes are made, the version numberwill 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.
Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments,
and Frequently Asked Questions. The Errata corrects any
mistakes in the codex, while the Amendments bring the codex
up to date with the latest version of the rules. The Frequently
Asked Questions (or FAQ) section answers commonly asked
questions about the rules. Although you can mark corrections
directly in your codex, this is by no means necessary just keep
a copy of the update with your codex.
ERRATAPage 51 Combat Squads.
Replace with the following wording:
A ten-man unit with this special rule can break down into two
five-man units, called combat squads.
You must decide which units are splitting into combat squads,
and which models go into each combat squad, immediately
before deployment. A unit split into combat squads therefore is
now two separate units for all game purposes including
calculating the total number of units in the army, and the
number of units you can place in reserve. Then proceed with
deployment as normal. Note that two combat squads split from
the same unit can embark in the same transport vehicle,
providing its transport capacity allows.
Once you have decided whether or not to split a unit into
combat squads, it must remain that way for the entire battle. It
cannot split up or join back together later on in the battle, nor
can you use a redeployment to split up a unit or join it back
together.
