As some Eldar players know in 6th the Eldar Avatar was FAQed to have a 4+ invuln save. Currently the rather pathetic amount of FAQ I have seen for Eldar says nothing about this so is this still in effect or has the Avatar dropped back to a 5+ invuln due to the Demon rule? A buddy brought this up while playing me the other day then proceeded to kick the crap out of my Avatar... >_<

**grendel083**

Didn't that change in their recent codex?

**Asheru**

As far as I know the change was the Avatar was considered a Demon who gets a 5+ invuln and there was an FAQ that changed it to a 4+

**Captyn_Bob**

Is it in the latest FAQ? As that is clearly an errata, and not a rule clarification, then without a published errata the codex will apply.

**grendel083**

Well it's not in the new FAQ.
Honestly I don't remeber it being in the old one either, but I could be wrong.

As it stands currently it's a 5++

**B0B MaRlEy**

He had a 5++ since the newer codex.

**Asheru**

It was FAQed to a 4++ in the second to last FAQ they put out on 6th. Oh well guess shes benched again... :(

**grendel083**

Second to last?
That would the one for the previous Codex.

**Asheru**

No they put out about 4 or 5 FAQs over the time of the 6th edition rules. So it was either the 3rd set of FAQ or the 4th that they said the Avatar has a 4++

**B0B MaRlEy**

The 6th ed codex only had the night spinner correction IIRC.

**grendel083**

Yep, there's the current FAQ, the previous had only the Night Spinner correction.
Ones before that were all for the previous Codex.

**Asheru**

I would have to scan a copy of the page cause sadly GW took down all the old FAQs. But it was in there.

**B0B MaRlEy**

Yeah, and the clarification for the old codex was because it was a Deamon and had a 4++, unlike the 5++ the (new then) Deamon USR gave

Wait, you're saying you have a printed out copy of this FAQ?

**Asheru**

Ya I work at a gaming store that host 40k tourneys we have to have printed copy's of all the FAQs.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
It also has the date and version on the front page of it but I don't get to work till tomorrow so I will have to wait to list that info.

**grendel083**

Well the pre-7th FAQ is here.
That's the only one that I can remember for that Codex.

But if you can find the other one I'm happy to be proven wrong.

**Ghaz**

From the Codex Eldar FAQ v1.1:

Page 24 – The Avatar, Daemon.
Change the first and second sentences to read: “The Avatar has the Daemon special rule, with the exception that his Invulnerable save is 4+ instead of 5+”.

Note this FAQ is dated 24th July 2012 and is therefore for the previous edition of the codex.

**extremefreak17**

You got the wrong codex buddy. That FAQ has been out of date since the new codex came out in 6th.

**Happyjew**

Yeah, that is for the 4th edition codex, not the 6th edition codex (which was released in 2013).
