Does Fateweaver have to choose his spells on the army list, or can he choose them prior to the game beginning(when you would normally generate spells)?

Clearly this is for tournament style play where you do not know your opponent, so perhaps there is no GW based answer..in which case, commonly used method is fine.

In common with other pick spells items / users, you pick the lores on your army list (unless you have specific exemption otherwise) and pick spells when you would normally roll.

Q. How do you go about selecting Kairos Fateweaver’s spells?

A. Each head will have access to the four listed spell lores each
game. You decide which four spells each head knows at the
start of each battle.

Yah, his heads have their lores already chosen (all of them!).

So fate weaver could have each head choose one spell from each of the 4 lores he knows?

That FAQ could have been phrased better.

The FAQ is worded just fine. If you read Karios' rules and the FAQ it is very clear how to choose his spells.

Actually, it's a little better than that. Each head has access to four lores. Take the "good" head for example, knowing Life, Heavens, Metal and Light. That head does not have to pick one spell from each Lore; he could pick all four spells from one single Lore. The rule reads: The left head may choose any four spells from the Lores of Life, Metal, Light and Heavens."

We got in this debate before. OR he could take the lvl 6 spells from every single lore that head knows. And each head is loremaster TZ.
