Does anyone know if hellstriddr spruces have numbered pieces? Trying to assemble seekers without part numbers drove me half-mad

Yes.

[Subfactions without 'Forced' Command Traits and Artefacts]

So, the 3E core rules cover subfaction's with required Command Traits and Artefacts pretty clearly.  I'm less clear on subfactions with a list of associated Traits/Artefacts.  

For subfactions that include a list of Command Traits and Artefacts that are not listed as required, can these be ignored for your first Traits/Artefact in favor of Universals?  

A specific example I'm thinking of is Godseekers for Slaanesh.  I feel like you should be able to just take your first Trait/Artefact from the Universal/General lists.  The reason for this may be that the associated Traits/Artefacts are not listed as "additional Allegiance abilities" as described in 27.4.

Do I have this understood correctly?

Thanks.

Yes, I believe so. Only if you make a choice to upgrade it further to Scarlet Cavalcade, then you will be forced to use certain traits/artefacts.

[Coherency in multiple groups allowed?]

From what I can tell, the coherency rules do not force units to form a single contiguous group. I may be mistaken, but this appears to be legal: Each model is within 1" of two other models in the unit.

"But no-one would do that! It's unit suicide!" Well, not necessarily. This setup is less fragile than it might seem. If you lose one model, the unit size drops to 5 and it is coherent if each model is with 1" of one other model. If you lose two models, take one from each group. If you lose three or more models, remove one group and the excess from the remaining group. Also, splitting up into triplet-groups can let you grab multiple objectives, and virtually risk-free in the last turn of the game.

So, is this actually legal or did I miss something?

It explicitly says "single coherent group".

I mentioned it before, but here's proof that the writer of our battletomes has left

I don't think he left because of anything to do with our book (and I'm not trying to suggest this is a good/bad thing - it just sounds like normal moving on), but it does mean someone else will be writing out book now. 

It might be worth, once the dust settles, send in some wishlists for Slaanesh rules in the future 

How is it a proof of him leaving? Isn't it just elaborate thank you?

I've just noticed as well that despite Dexcessa wielding the "Scourge of Slaanesh" (which I assume is a whip), it actually seems to be the Synessa model that has anything resembling such a weapon. 

Dexcessa 

Synessa, with what looks like the whip.  

 

It looks like rules were written for different models, it's not only the whip, but also Dexcessa's sceptre, and Synessa's staff. Either rules writers were mistaken, which model represents whom, or the informations on the website and the box are wrong.
