Question:
Will the new detachments be legal for LVO from the Grotmas releases? What charge rules does LVO use and is there a document that I can read up on them? Generally speaking, I am a slower painter due to work and other concerns. What is the painting standard of tabletop ready defined as for 2025? Generally speaking all of my models will have basing and probably three to five colors on them depending on the infantry. However, I really don't want to lose 10 points unnecessarily.
Answer:
1. Yes 2. The charge rules as stated in the Pariah Tournament Packet will be used 3. If your models are as you describe, they should be fine.

Question:
When coming in from strategic reserves with large models with bases, ie tesseract vault. In regards to the new overhang rules allowing models to overhang beyond the battlefield edge as long as their base is wholly within. If the remaining parts of the model are wholly within 6” of the battle field edge are they able to act normally on the turn they come in?
Answer:
The tesseract vault can't overhang as it's a vehicle. Since you measure everything from hull or base for vehicles, depending which is closer, the entire hull has to be on the table, no overlap

Question:
For the mission rule "Smoke and Mirrors", it states that you are allowed to put a unit (who's unit point cost is <= 500 points) into Strategic Reserves, disregarding the number of units already in Reserves (which is limited to half the number of units in your army by the Pariah Nexus tournament packet). Does this allow you to also surpass the 500 point limit TOTAL for Strategic Reserves, or must you still adhere to that restriction? (e.g. If the player already has 400 points in Strategic Reserves, can they also place a unit who's cost is 200 points into strategic reserves, with the Smoke and Mirrors mission rule, therefore having a total of 600 points in Strategic Reserves)?

No

1. How is cover determined by the deathstrike. Is it determined by the marker or the tank or do they not get cover at all? 2.

Would it be a one time regardless of success or would it be one successful use of the stratagem?
Answer:
1. Cover is determined from the model, not the marker 2. One time regardless of success/failure
