Hello there! Please forgive the noob question, especially if it's already answered somewhere else and I simply missed it.

Will there be racial FAQ's posted for the different factions once 5th ed is released? Or are there some posted already somewhere?

I would guess that there are enough changes with 5th ed to warrant such a list of corrections/etc, for each faction. Is this going to happen (or has it already happened?).

Thank you for your time.

I believe there was talk of posting some FAQ's, particularly for the older books. I know they've been posting FAQs for the newer books (eldar, chaos, orks, DA), and so once those are finished they might post some for the other armies. When 4th editino was released they released new FAQs for every army, but that was a different time with different staff at GW.

You can find the most current FAQ's here

Other than Eldar and Chaos, most haven't been touched or updated in a while. They may put out a few new ones to fix some strange things that happen when the game changes over to 5th but I'm not holding my breath. All in all GW has been thourghly dissapointing with their attentiveness to FAQ's (or updating codexes for that matter).

Why does it have to be racial? Why can't we all just get along?

Seriously though, you're probably gonna need an faq to use all those 3rd edition codexes in 5th edition.

Phil Kelly said at Adepticon that there were 5th edition codex FAQs that were waiting to be released along with the new rules.

Exactly when and which codices will be getting these FAQs (or if GW will actually release them) of course remains to be seen.


I'm hoping for new codex FAQs for each codex on July 12th, but I'm not holding my breath.

Aparently they are now up here:

Still don't know if trukks with reinforced rams can tankshock.

Looks like those are the same FAQ's just on the US site rather than the UK. In either case, the chaos and the eldar ones are the only ones that have been updated in 2008 and several are from 2004

Looks like I just needed to be more patient.

Thank you all for the answers!

The Tau FAQ says it has not been updated since 2006, however the July 11th FAQ from the UK site is identical, so I imagine some of them just have not had their dates updated on the HTML page, but the file behind the link is still current for 5th Ed.
