Warhammer 40000

The older codexs are compatible with 5th edition. Some armies lost a bit of their usefulness with some rules being dropped, while some got better.

I am assuming you bought it used because it would have come with it if you had bought it new. Its essentially an online pass, a way for game makers to get some money from used games because they don't see any money from used game sales. If you go on the xbox market place or Playstation network store and search elite pass or something than you should find it, buy it for like 5 dollars i think and than you can play online multiplayer and swarm mode.

The most common communication model is the Early Shannon and Weaver Model but the most accurate, in my opinion, is the Schram Model in which a source encodes a message, which is sent through a channel and the channel contains some sort of noise or interference whether it be static over the phone or birds chirping outside. The receiver then decodes that message and interprets it in some way. The receiver then sends their feedback, back to the original sender in the channel which contains noise.

Yes there are 37 official Games-Workshop store's in a 50 mile radius around London. Also there are 100 hundred independent retailers in a 50 mile radius.

Well Canis Wolfborn rides one and he's on a 60mm base.

Rules for weapons commonly seen across all armies are located in the main rulebook. This includes greatweapons, flails, bows, etc. Weapons for specific armies are located in their army books.

It depends on what colour scheme you are painting your army for example something like White Scars Space Marines it's best to use a white or grey undercoat but Chaos Space Marines look much better with a black undercoat. I always use black to undercoat my models because then you can drybrush over it, leaving black in the recesses to give the effect of shading. You could also paint your models in the foundation paints before adding another coat on top.

This rule can be found in the Warhammer 40K rulebook, but due to copyrights we are not allowed to answer this question.

It depends on how you outfit it, it has many options. You need the codex to see what works best for you.

It means you have no armour save at all, and so if you are wounded you MUST take a wound, even from a lasgun.

One such example is a Kroot Carnivore squad without a Shaper, so they all have a - Armour Save.

Flying vehicle in war-hammer 40K is better than chaos land vehicle, because it is able to manouvre easily in all terrain.

no

Look in the codex and there may be a way that if the squad numbers 5 or more models, one meganob may replace their chopper for a power klaw.

It means that the vehicle that has been damaged cannot move or shoot in it's following turn.

It is where you use left over bitz to make a custom model.

Unknown, there is still a kroxigor called n'kai that has been around since the first wars with chaos. Lizardmen dont die of old age.

I'm really not sure, but I think it's either a terminator or gene stealer from the Space Hulk game.

In the beginning it may seem very complicated but as you start to understand the rules you won't even need the rulebook anymore.

The basics are fairly simple. Do not be frightened off by the size of the rulebook, the rules could be summarized into about 20-30 pages.

The game revolves around turns which consist of phases. Each player has a turn and carries out all of their phases before their opponent's turn.

The phases are:-

Movement

Magic

Shooting

Close Combat

Each player can select a number of troops up to an agreed points value. The troops are called units and most can be of variable sizes (eg 20 models) and some can be equipped with a variety of weaponry and armour for a predetermined pts cost.

All units have a profile:-

M = Movement

Ws = Weapon Skill

Bs = Ballistic Skill

S= Strength

T = Toughness

W = Wounds

I = Initiative

A = Attacks

Ld = Leadership

Most of the above are given a number from 1-10. The higher the number the better the unit.

Unit stats are compared between opposing units who come into combat or fire upon each other or use magic to see what damage they do to their enemy.

That in a nutshell is it !

It can get a lot more involved during a game but the basics are pretty straight forward and easy to pick up.

feel no pain, the rule that lets you take a 4+ roll on an unsaved wound

Answer Tyranids are always tricky to team up with, due to their mildly annoying habit of eating everything near them... However, if you play a genestealer cult army, then you can ally them with Guard, Orks or Tau. Fluff-wise, this allows you to say that the genestealers have implanted their geneseed into these races in order to infiltrate their bases, or gain access to technology.
