Of course it does, you cannot vote!

Little known fact:
Within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland It is legal from the age of 5 and up to drink alcoholic beverages in a Beer Garden provided that someone over the age of 18 had purchased it for you at the Bar Area.

ERRATA & FAQs
Welcome to the Errata & FAQs section of our website. Here you can find the latest Errata & FAQs documents for our current books in the form of downloadable pdf documents.

In this section we cover Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer 40,000 and The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. We aim to have one pdf for each book belonging to these systems, including the three main rulebooks and all Warhammer Armies books, Warhammer 40,000 Codexes, and The Lord of the Rings Journey Books and Sourcebooks. If a book is not covered, it is either because we are not aware of any issues with it or we haven't got to it yet.

We aim to publish a first document within the first few months of a book's release. After this initial release, we'll review and update these documents regularly, adding new questions and errata, and correcting any mistakes we might have made when answering some of the questions.

What's the difference between Errata and FAQs?
As it is rather obvious from their name, these documents include two separate elements - the Errata and the FAQs. In case you were wondering, 'Errata' is a posh (Latin!) way to say 'Errors', and 'FAQs' stands for 'Frequently Asked Questions'. It is important to understand the distinction between the two, because they are very different.

The Errata are simply a list of the corrections we plan to make on the next reprint of the book to fix the mistakes that managed to slip into the text (no matter how many times you check a book, there are always some!). These are obviously errors, for example a model that has WS3 in the book's bestiary and WS4 in the book's army list. The Errata would say something like: 'Page 96. Replace WS3 with WS4 in the profile of the so-and-so model'.

The Errata have the same level of 'authority' as the main rules, as they effectively modify the published material. They are 'hard' material. It is a good idea to read them and be aware of their existence, but luckily there are very few of them for each book.

The FAQs on the other hand are very much 'soft' material. They deal with more of a grey area, where often there is no right and wrong answer - in a way, they are our own 'Studio House Rules'. They are, of course, useful when you play a pick-up game against someone you don't know, or at tournaments (i.e. when you don't have a set of common 'house rules' with the other player). However, if you disagree with some answers and prefer to change them in your games and make your own house rules with your friends, that's fine. In fact we encourage you to shape the game around your needs and your taste. We firmly believe that wargaming is about two (or more!) people creating a gaming experience they are both going to enjoy. In other words, you might prefer to skip the FAQs altogether and instead always apply the good old 'roll a dice' rule whenever you meet a problematic situation.

Note, I said legally. There is a difference between 30 dating 20 and 18 dating...well you get my point. One is illegal and the other means your a rock star.

Barring the dating her friends remember it only takes two family members to have someone temporarily commited in most parts of our country and when she marries the hubby will count.

What a coincidence. I also started 40k when I was "too old for D&D" - but that was back in 1987, when I was 18, and I've always been too old for D&D.

Going on 41.
Not the oldest 40k player I know, but far from the youngest (but at least the oldies I know don't throw tantrums when we lose.)

@Vulkan: I remember when that wasn't the dreadnought. That was the first PLASTIC dreadnought model.
The old dreads I remember were ALL METAL.

It's interesting to see the majority of 40k players ages.... I suspect it's because in one's 20's they are still young enough to enjoy minis before a career/family really takes hold of them yet old enough to hold real jobs that can actually pay for all this stuff!!

45. Been gaming since '79, longer than the majority of the poll were born.

On this evidence I think this forum should have a Gentlemens Club where only us oldsters are allowed to post so that we may reminice about 'back in the day' and moan about 'the youngsters today' in peace...

That's the one! A place where we can talk about old battles, how dice in our day rolled how they were meant to, how you didn't need a hundred shades of blue and 10 different brushes to paint one Marine, how rules made sense then. Why I remember once...

Do I qualify as an "oldster"? We can sit and reminisce about tanks on overwatch and vortex grenades and army leaders with 6 different saves...lol

41 here... and been playing 40k since Rogue Trader and before... a lil old box game called Space Marine. Been playing GW games since 1982... mainly started with Talisman, still own copies of Chainsaw Warrior, DungeonQuest... and a game I haven't seen in years, and wonder how many peeps even remember it... Tyranid Attack, it's a box game... kinda designed like Space Hulk, but pits Tyranids against Eldar aboard a Tyranid Hive ship.

Peace,
RennyD

Oh ya!! Vortex grenades rocked.. especially with your cameloline wearing assassin (who looked like an eldar guardian) walked up to that nasty farseer and *POP* no more farseer.. and back then if you lost your general in 40k it sucked... bad things happened. Also, when auto and assault cannons had a little thing called sustained fire.. sure they could jam, explode, and kill your model... but what firepower!! That was when you could REALLY take out an enemy squad with one model... and when a turn could take an hour or two, there were so many things you could do... overwatch almost killed the game IMO... at least the way it was written back then... ok they still sucked, but a 20 man squad of IG with lasguns on overwatch still gave ya shivers... they were more effective that way than when firing normally.

25,

Our whole group is around the same age as well (High School Friends and Klingon's - I am a pointy eared one).

Most of us have been playing for some time,
I think I started over ten years ago (but it's kinda a blur).
I remember that dreadnaught if that helps (Gosh, that was a LONG time ago)

The RT version were even more fun. A wandering pie plate destroying everything in its path...

Imagined instructions on the side of an RTVG:
1] Pull pin.
2] Throw towards enemy.
3] RUN AWAY!!!

Scarier thought... Tau + Networked Markerlights + Overwatch
