News: GW Newsletter

Hello all, Slick here. The latest GW newsletter is out and there is a FAQ available for the new 8th edition rulebook already! Seems like GW is really moving on FAQs for once. Also, there are several pictures available of the upcoming starter set, The Island of Blood! All in all, some excellent news! Even if you don't play High Elves or Skaven, having the small format rulebook will be a necessity as no one wants to lug the big hardcover rulebook around at a tournament.

In this issue: Attention Warhammer Players!

Warhammer Rulebook Official Update The new edition of Warhammer has brought with it exciting new tactical challenges and introduced different ways of gaming with your army. The way every unit works on the battlefield has changed, special rules work differently, and several units have gained new abilities. It's no surprise then that the new edition has generated a fair few questions. To answer them, we set the Studio's Rulesheads to work on the FAQs for every Warhammer army and tasked them with producing an official update for the Warhammer rulebook.

Download the Warhammer Rulebook Official Update. The official update for the Warhammer rulebook provides answers for frequently asked questions and clarifies areas of the rules. Additionally, the FAQ for every Warhammer army has been updated. Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments, and Frequently Asked Questions. The Errata corrects any mistakes in the book, the Amendments bring the book up to date with the latest version of the rules and the Frequently Asked Questions (or FAQ) section answers commonly asked questions about the rules.

The Island of Blood Sighted! The mists around the mysterious Island of Blood are clearing and the new Warhammer boxed game is almost upon us. Make sure you're among the first to uncover the secrets of The Island of Blood: pop over to today's 'What's New Today' post, and join us as we open up a copy and pore through the contents.
