yes and it says that if you charge a unit and they flee you can redirect into the next unit if there is one.

I can't see anything relating to redirections in that FAQ at all.
But the rulebook already states that if a charging unit would contact another enemy unit in the process of it's charge, it gets to declare a new charge against that enemy unit if it wishes.

Umm, the second question is about Cavalry movement with barding.
I can't find anything about enemy in the way in the whole FAQ.

if you look under ENEMY IN THE WAY its the second question. it states Q. Let’s assume that a unit charges enemy unit A, and A flees from the charge, revealing enemy unit B now in the path of the chargers. If the charge is re-directed against B, and B decides to flee as well, does the charging unit now have to move after B or continue towards A (its original target)? A. As the charging unit has declared a new charge, it will have to go after the latest unit it has charged (B in the example above). the link to the errata is www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m470856_Warhammer_FAQ_2008-02_Edition.pdfare you looking at the same one?

By the way the rules for conflagaration of doom seems unusual where it says that they are taken as random hits as in shooting. Does this mean that in a unit of 20 a character can get hit on 5's and 6's? I thought he/she couldn't as there was more than 5 models in the unit. Its a bit much but I may have misread that! Also this 5 in a unit seems now not to count in the champion. So if I you have a vampire in a unit with 5 skeletons and one is a champion he can be targeted for shooting? Perhaps another misreading!
Nice to see that the Hunter's spear only count's as one wound and not D3 on multiple wounded models.

You miss read it. If allocated as shooting, then in any unit of over 5 rank and file models, the character can't be hit.
Interestingly that FAQ also makes it clear that unit champions also count as characters for purposes of this rule.
That has two implications as I see it. (1) You can't kill a unit champion via shooting unless the unit was down to less than 5 other models. (2) If you have a character and a champion you've got to have 5 other models in the unit before either the champion or character are protected.
That means units of 5 knights (with champion) and a character leave the character vulnerable to being picked off.

So a unit of 5 chaos knights with one champion and a character may suffer badly from a bolt thrower! OOh the possibilities are endless!
