“The FAQs focus on how certain situations interact with the Vanguard (X) Special Rule, when particular aftermath options can be selected, and certain Vehicle Shooting Attacks. They also outline that – as with all Shooting Attacks made as part of a Reaction – Glancing Hits inflicted by Reactions can’t apply Tactical Statuses.

For the errata, updated Rulebook entries cover Flyer mechanics, wound allocation to Models with the Paragon Type, and rework Psychic Curses to make use of the Resistance Checks instead of Manifestation Checks. In addition, the Template Special Rule has an update to clarify the range of attacks when using the Hellstorm Template.

Erratas to the various Libers further implement Resistance Checks for Psychic Curses, and Legiones Astartes’ Moritats gain the Bitter Duty Special Rule, ensuring they can join Destroyer Units. For Liber Auxilia, the exact mechanics of the Fire Support! Advanced Reaction have been tweaked, while in Liber Mechanicum the Arcuitor Magisterium gains some additional weapon options to better match its miniature.”
