They Ninja Updated the 40k FAQ!

Just one little update that I could find.  Here's the new one.  The one new thing that I found was this:

Q: How do Independent Characters that have joined a squad effect working out if a squad is below half strength or not? (p48)

A: Independent Characters are not counted when working out if a squad is below half strength or not. The exception to this is if an Independent Character is with a Retinue (in which case he is counted when working out if the squad is below half strength).

This reminds me of the Space Wolf FAQ debacle a while back, with a complete reversal of their previous position.

Thank You GW

Thanks for updating the 40k FAQ and furthermore, thanks for making it very thorough.  We've actually had debates on a few of these points in my group in the past month or so.  Also, no more intermingling units for mutual cover saves at the ETC!

New Fantasy FAQs Are Up

Normally I don't post about news that anyone can get from the GW blog, but this time I've got something to say. They've put up a Warhammer Fantasy FAQ as well as updating all the armies. Furthermore, the updated questions have been highlighted in magenta.

I read some of the Fantasy FAQ but stopped after the first page because I haven't read the whole book yet so most of the changes were lost on me. It sure seems like a lot of mistakes in the first place, but we're used to that by now. What I'm really excited about though is the FAQ changes. This is an indicator that GW has mended its ways. Gone are the days where a FAQ wouldn't show up for years, and when it finally did it was missing half the important questions. At least for fantasy, they're updating FAQs. I really hope they do this for 40k as well and fix the Tyranids back. We got an indicator of this with the Space Wolf FAQ update, so let's hope!
