[jgebi]

but the new dex is just out XD

[Wildcard]

Yeah, seems they failed that profile and since the books are in the prints already, they just decided to fix the issue this way, proactively :P

[GrauGeist]

Awesome, GW's crack editing team strikes again!

[Tynskel]

Monofilament is a rule, eh? Does that mean that Warp Spiders are gunna have that, too?

[daboarder]

so what their FAQ's are now coming out BEFORE the book is released....stupid frakking editors

[Magpie]

It's a single item found to be in error, we don't know what was wrong as yet.

I think that's not too bad an average.

It's one single item for gods sake.

Hyper-sensitive nerds.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Mfw.

[daboarder]

Hyper-sensitive nerds.

No Eldargal it was exasperation.

[eldargal]

Born of hyper-sensitivity. It was one bloody correction. By all mean complain about the mess that was the Dark Angel book, but getting cranky over one wargear entry being corrected is just stupid.

[Magpie]

It's hardly even that, it is a correction to the reference section. Obviously every where else in the book the entry if fine.

[Lexington]

I'll take pre-emptive FAQs over the "wait a year and we'll think about it" approach of yore, no question.

Also, this is why I only buy digital Codexes anymore. That error won't even be there when my copy downloads, and I'll get automatic updates...you know, during the next five or six rounds of revision. :p

[Houghten]

Why... why are the other three pages blank?

*headscratch*

I'd say the reference section is the one place that should be absolutely correct. Wasn't for Tau, either. If you're going to put all the important info in one easily-found place, it should be the right info!

Probably why they put out a correction so quickly don't you think?

That's the odd thing with mistakes, you don't get to choose where they turn up.

[DarkLink]

You have to have won one of GW's secret mystery decoder rings they add to random sprues to read the other pages.

[Houghten]

That's the odd thing with mistakes, you don't get to choose where they turn up.

You do get to choose where you concentrate your proof-reading efforts, though.

I do a weird form of data entry for a living, and I know to double-check everything but quadruple-check the important bits.

Which bits of a Codex the important bits? All of it I would say. It's a big job, mistakes happen, deal and move on.

[Demonus]

so with the current updated official FAQ, does that mean my Psykers can cast spells on people outside of transports this week for any games I play? Cause I don't see something saying I cannot....

I don't see anything that overturns "Declare Target" on Page 67 of the Rulebook

[Belial69]

Conspiracy theory time... What if the other 3 pages are full of so many erratas that it'd give away most of the book so gw left them blank until the codex is availiable?

[Magpie]

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

[Carstens]

Well that old faq was 4 pages, so that's probably why.

[Tynskel]

Hey hey hey. Nobody on this thread is allowed to use their head.

[Demonus]

ok then what about casting spells on people within a transport, like normal psykers can, but Eldar were denied last FAQ?

[DarkLink]

If you're in the same transport.

A psyker inside a transport with no LOS can target himself or the transport. A psyker outside a transport can only target the transport, not the squad inside.

[RGilbert26]

This is why I buy the digital codex :P

I don't think Psykers can cast them either, they can't see them.
