Horus Heresy FAQ stops reactions from denying Vanguard scoring

The latest Warhammer: The Horus Heresy FAQ changes Vanguard scoring to account for an enemy’s position at the start of the player turn. A target that was within three inches of an objective can still qualify even after a reaction moves it away.

The latest Warhammer: The Horus Heresy FAQ changes Vanguard scoring to account for an enemy’s position at the start of the player turn. A target that was within three inches of an objective can still qualify even after a reaction moves it away. The revised rule awards points for destroying the eligible unit or routing

it in combat. The enemy need not control the objective, widening the targets that Vanguard units can score against. Games Workshop also confirms that an Armour Penetration Test result of one automatically fails. Further clarifications cover line of sight, reactions, vehicles and other interactions. Players should

download the full FAQ before their next game so that both armies use the same wording. Read the official source. Image: Games Workshop; official promotional artwork.
