    Default Colossal bringing rules errata?

    I thought about the Leviathan, doing +1 dmg to medium based models and +2 to large based ones. Will it do +3 to colossals then, or will there be no bonus at all?
    What about Cankerworm? How many boxes will he repair by salvage? A colossal is neither a light nor a heavy jack?

    We've had battle engines for more than a year now, and Burst fire hasn't been errata'd to affect huge bases in any way. Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to change it now either, although it is not impossible either.

    Salvage works similarly: Cancerworm removes the wreck marker and heals D6 damage points. If the wreck marker was from a heavy jack, it removes an extra 3 points. Since colossal wrecks are not Heavy wreck markers, Cancerwork removes just D6 damage.

    This, too, can be errata'd in the future, but there's no dire need for that because the wording is unambiguous, even if counterintuitive.

    Could be, if only to make clearer some rules interactions.

    But if Cankerworm could use huge wracks to heal, he then could use colossal weapons. A colossal fist is not that interessting, but it's shooting options.
    I'm sad, but I don't think this will come.

    He can, a Colossal is still a warjack and he can take weapons from any warjack.

    I wouldn't hold my breath for any erratas concerning Huge Bases. Dark Industries, Burst Fire, Create Scrap Thrall, etc. are all likely to stay as they are. Just be glad Armour Piercing works (medium or larger)

    On the one hand, the infamous Skarre feat nerf came out when the battle engine books came out, so we know Privateer Press will release an errata if they feel the need to.

    On the other hand, we aren't going to find out about it until it happens.

    I wish there was some way I could properly explain how hard I laughed at the word Cancerwork.

    In the model development life cycle panel I attended at L&L, they did mention that there will be another errata coming. They didn't mention what exactly it will cover except that it will address/update Shield Guard.

    Burstfire has been a problem since Battle Engines, as Mentions,

    Having Pow 10 Venators unable to hurt a Battle Engine was annoying

    Hopefully things like that get errata'd, just so they maek sesne <--

    Even if it just gives the same bonus as attacking a heavy.
