Crossroads GT FAQ
Q: How is Spirit Leech played with “Unmodified Leadership”?
A: A unit’s “Unmodified Leadership” per the GW FAQ is the highest leadership characteristic in the unit. The GW FAQ also states that the only exception to this is when effected by Okkam’s Mindrazor and Spirit Leech, units may benefit from Inspiring Presence when only these spells are used.
As an additional clarification, if a Ld9 General is in a unit with the Standard of Discipline, then units within range of the General will get Ld10 for the effects of these spells. However, the unit with the General will only get the Ld9 as it cannot benefit from Inspiring Presence.
Q: How is Line of Sight calculated? 90, 180, 360 degree or something else?
A: LoS is calculated using the 90 degree front arc of a model
Q: If a unit contains multiple characters, can those characters declare separate charges to leave the unit.
A: No, only a single character may declare a charge out of a unit. Any remaining characters may not declare a charge after the first character has already done so.

A: Yes
Q: How are models with Random Movement moved and what options do they have when close to being blocked by other models and the 1"rule?
A. Random movers may not end their initial pivot within 1" of other units, unless the direction they choose to pivot in would bring them into contact with that unit (either with the pivot or a 1" move forward), in which case they charge/hit it. Fudge/charge the random mover into combat, maximizing combatants as usual.

Q: How does Witchbrew work with a unit that is not already frenzied, due to the fact that the character which carries the Witchbrew is already frenzied? Does the unit take its Bezerker Rage test at a -3 Ld?
A: No, if a Death Hag has the Witchbrew in a unit that is not already frenzied, then the unit will test on it's normal Ld value, without the -3 modifier due to the Witchbrew.

Scenarios:
Q: Do units with 1 incomplete rank and a command model count as a scoring unit? Can a scoring unit lose its status as a scoring unit?
A: No, a unit must have at least one complete rank to count as a scoring unit. Yes, a scoring unit can lose its status as a scoring unit if it fails to meet any of the criteria for being a scoring unit. Likewise, if a unit that isn’t a scoring unit does something to then meet the criteria, it will become a scoring unit.
Q: Scoring unit are units with a rank and 1 or more command model(s) [or character(s)] attached. May skirmisher units also count for this or not?
A: Yes, Skirmishers may also count because they may have ranks. However, when a Skirmisher is in combat, per the GW FAQ, it no longer has any ranks. So if this occurs, then the skirmishing unit is no longer a scoring unit until it is out of combat.
