If they're available, they should be on the Data Files section of
www.wolflair.com.

I'll add this if it's not going to be a huge amount of trouble...

That's not specified in the codex, so if you want to use it, you'll have to
code it yourself. It specifically says "The options from any squad can be
used as long as both players agree"...

Probably a holdover from when I had the playtest codex coded in.

This was changed later, in WD, um, I can't remember. The article was called
"Putting the Tzap into Tzeentch" I think. Or was that something else? I forget.

The web site version just says "Thousand Sons Terminators: Shooting attacks
that have a Strength of 4 or less will not effect a Thousand Sons Terminator."
I'll check the WD...
>The changes are that sonic blasters are a 5 point (not 10) upgrade, doom

The first two were later changed, I'll investigate the 3rd.

Thanks, I'll check this out.

It doesn't say this in mine... not the 2 wounds bit, at any rate. Copy on
the rest of them, though.

Subject: Re: Thousand Sons Terminators
I think I see the problem here. There are TWO different GT
clarifications, the one for the US GT which is just a copy of the Q&A
and a different document for the UK GT which does indeed say Thousand
Sons terminators have two wounds. It also says that you can't use
melta bombs in a "Death or Glory" attack and other things which
directly contradict the Black Tome. *shrugs*
Anyway, the UK GT Clarifications can be found at:

Yes, you got the definition correct. HTML is also a markup language. These both come from the SGML standard. Basically, it is just a new word for custom tags. Instead of using the standard HTML tags, you can make your own. This is a great thing because you can wrap up database info with these custom tags and transport it between to disconnected systems.
