- Does the Fiery Conviction ability (“If this model is on the battlefield at the start of your Command phase, you gain 1CP.”) prohibit a player from accumulating another CP in the same battle round from another source?
The Verdict: Yes. Although the Fiery Conviction ability very specifically states that the additional CP is obtained at the start of the Command phase, the Rules Commentary (Version 1.2) now countermands the wording of the ability and it does count against the additional CP stipulations. The Core Rules state that “Outside of the CP players gain at the start of the Command phase, each player can only gain a total of 1CP per battle round, regardless of the source” (CR, 10). Although the Path of Command CP is obtained at the start of the Command phase, the Rules Commentary closed the door to the player obtaining an additional CP in that same battle round.
The World Championships judges (2023) also ignored the specificity of CP gains in the wording of the Core Rules (WC23), and this is now in line with the Rules Commentary. The World Team Championships’ ruling has also been updated to reflect the GW ruling, prohibiting abilities of any kind from accumulating more than one additional CP per battle round (though it is worth noting that the terminology used in the document is bafflingly specific to 9th Edition; the Rules Commentary takes precedence regardless)(WTC 2.2, 9).
