Hello,

I've decided to get back into 8th edition (used to play 2nd and 3rd I think). I'm playing the simple rules you can print off the website and scrabbling together points costs and rules from websites and some of my old datasheets, just to learn the rules of the new edition.

I'm planning on getting a couple of codex and the Dark Imperium box set with the BRB at Christmas, whilst I paint my armies up.

When GW release errata, faq and amendments, do they alter the codex or rule books, or at least produce a pamphlet with the changes? Do they have stickers to alter the books? Do they amend the online pdf versions either?

I ask because I'd be less inclinded to actually buy the codex books if they are out of date, even months after they've come out. I seem to remember in the past that when a rule was changed (which was probably rarer then), the new codex books had a sticker that you could put over the old one. It's a bit crude, but it's the only way to alter already printed books (I used to do it in Argos when there were price changes, when I was a Christmas troll working there many, many moons ago).

If not, is the only option to buy the codex... and take along any errata and chapter approved (when it comes out)? Or can I rely on GW altering the later prints of their books?

So far nobody knows for sure will later prints have it. So far there's been just few errata's and those are "carry with you or write yourself to the book".

No they don't update the printed versions. Not sure about the digital versions.
You have to update your codex manually by yourself.

Cheers. I would suspect as much from recent GW really.

Do they still produce paper stickers still to put over rules that have changed? That sounds like a "nice" thing that they could do, but I guess they won't... being grimdark and all.
