Can a unit that has made a Vanguard move be forced to declare a charge on the first turn of a game by getting a Squabble or We'll Show 'Em result on the Animosity table? (p32)

Does the Strength bonus from the Choppas special rule affect the strength of the Impact Hits from the Armour of Gork and Big Stabbas? (p33)

Yes as, unlike Impact Hits from chariots etc, it is the brute force of the Orcs themselves causing the damage.

If a Night Goblin unit is behind an obstacle or in a building or other piece of terrain what happens to any Fanatics that are released? (p53)
URL Copied!

If the Fanatic is released from a point of the unit that is outside the terrain then it will move as normal. If the point of the unit it is released from is inside the terrain then it will be destroyed before it gets a chance to move.

Can a unit of Night Goblins that are concealing Fanatics be placed any closer than 8" to an enemy using the Hand of Gork spell? (p53, 72)
URL Copied!

Yes, though you must follow all the normal rules for stopping to release the Fanatics from 8" away before you finish your move.

What happens if a Night Goblin Fanatic hits a unit and there is not room to place it an inch out the other side of the unit? (p53)
URL Copied!

There are several possibilities here: 1) If placing the Fanatic an inch away from the unit that was hit brings it into contact with another unit, then that unit will also be hit and the Fanatic should then be placed an inch beyond that unit. 2) If placing the Fanatic an inch away would take it off of the board or into terrain (other than a hill) then it is destroyed. 3) If placing the Fanatic an inch away from the unit that was hit brings it to within an inch of another unit then leave it where it is (even though you cannot normally go within an inch unless you are charging). This will not effect the movement of the unit it is within an inch of. However, if the unit contacts the Fanatic during its move, the Fanatic will inflict hits on the unit and then be destroyed as usual.

What happens if a Mangler Squig hits a unit and there is not room to place it an inch out the other side of the unit? (p56)
URL Copied!

There are several possibilities here also. Points 1 and 3 are the same as for the Fanatic above whilst point 2 is different: 2) If there is not space to fit the Mangler Squig between the unit it hit and the board edge, then it will end its move in the unit, deal the extra hits and be destroyed as normal.

What happens to Nibblet if Grom breaks from combat? (p67)
URL Copied!

Nibblet is a part of Grom's chariot, therefore the whole chariot is destroyed.

URL Copied!

Yes.

When do you pick a target with the 'Eadbutt spell? (p72)
URL Copied!

You pick a target once the range is decided. Unlike most other spells, this will happen just before you resolve the spells effects rather than just before you make the casting attempt.

Can a unit of Savage Orcs take the Big Stabbas upgrade multiple times? (p104)
URL Copied!

No, regardless of how many models are carrying Big Stabbas, the unit only has the special rule once.
