The list is now being updated into an unofficial FAQ which you can download below via attachement.
The complete rules and lists (both official and inofficial) can be found in this thread now: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298829
- Warpath FAQ doesn't have yet enough questions, but I will put one together nonetheless.
- German FAQ not added, because nobody allowed me to do so yet.

1: Yes
2: The diagram on page 5 displays the unit charging and "facing up" (Sharing a front facing of an enemy unit with another friendly charging unit). It is a straight charge but the unit moves sideways upon contact with the enemy in order to "square up," so a diagonal line depicts the charge.
3: Dark Surge is in addition to the normal movement.
Hope that helps. Great idea for a thread

I see you found my previous answer, but that was based on the closed beta rules. I take it from your "surge" question that you have the "new and updated" rules. I haven't seen those rules yet, so I don't know if my answer is still correct.Originally Posted by Max Jet
The answer is still correct =)
I should add that the answer to question one should have had a *note* Unless otherwise stated. The Dark Surge rule is an example of damage affecting nerve not "always" being the case.
If a unit that has used Dark Surge to successfully charge and damage an enemy unit, damage from previous ranged attacks in the same shooting phase is not taken into account when testing nerve.
Writing rules is hard

I don't think this is completely accurate, and may result from a misunderstanding of Dark Surge. (The misunderstanding may be mine or yours though.)I should add that the answer to question one should have had a *note* Unless otherwise stated.

If a unit that has used Dark Surge to successfully charge and damage an enemy unit, damage from previous ranged attacks in the same shooting phase is not taken into account when testing nerve.
Writing rules is hard
When Dark Surge is cast, and the unit is moved into contact with a unit that has been shot, there is a special rule: the charged unit does *not* make a Nerve test at the end of the Shooting phase as normal. Because it has been charged, it skips the Nerve test. However, I don't see any indication that it actually gets to ignore the damage.
Therefore, in my reading, in the combat that follows the damage that applied during the Shooting phase is still counted when you test Nerve.
So far, I don't know of any time damage is ignored or discounted, beyond being removed by Healing.
It's mine.
After looking again I see your interpretation is correct.
If a unit is successfully charged by a Dark Surging unit, in that shooting phase the unit skips the nerve test for damage received in that same shooting phase.

I don't know if the question was already answered. But how are the 30 and 60 Zombies aligned? 5x6 ? 10x3?
I am assuming the Regiment (30 zombies) will be 5x6, and the Horde (60) will be 10 x 6.
A good question, I haven't heard a definitive answer either.
I imagine 5 wide, 6 deep would be the arrangement of 30.
If that is true, it would mean a 10x6 formation for 60 Zombies.
*edit* NINJA!!
Interesting, I assumed formations of 6x5 and 12x5 respectively, having the unit not only be longer, but also broader.
The correct Zombie formation is 5 wide and 6 deep for 30 and 10 wide and 6 deep for 60. Got verified by Alessio during the SPIEL.
Ten wide and six deep, as stated on page 2 of the rules...

Oha, I should have payed closer attention there, thanks for the clarification anyway.
Even with a 12 page rulebook I still managed to make mistakes on the first game :-)
I'll be reading and rereading it over the next days however to get ready for the tournament on saturday...
This is a great idea. I'm glad to see so few questions though. Testament to a well written set of rules.
Project Log:
Currently: Ghostly Brettonians and Mordheim
The rules really are pretty tight and well-crafted. There aren't many holes in them. Point balancing is still the biggest remaining issue. It's kind of demoralizing when you go to the Kings of War Beta forum on Beasts of War and there's so little activity. But it's really because there's not a lot to ask about.
Shooting units are still too good though. And by "shooting units" I really mean just "elves."
If a unit that has just fought a round of combat has to move back an inch and the move would bring it into either base contact or within an inch of another unit what happens?
The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.
It doesn't really mention in the rules but in general it would not happen that much, you would be moving back into an area where you moved over to charge the enemy anyway. If you move other units into that area,place them so the problem doesn't arise...
Or just use common sense and move those units back just enough to correct the situation.
I actually asked Alessio about htis exact thing when I met him at the open day.
His answer was very close to witteridderludo´s, simply move the unit out of the way a bit.
For Example:
AB C
B fought A and is now has to move back an inch, coming in contact with C:
A BC
C now moves the shortest possible route to re-establish the 1" gap:
A B C
