Sorry to get anyones hopes up, but there aren't any yet. And therein is the question... when do we get new FAQs? I think the last actual FAQ (not an "oops typo in the book") was before Tau came out. There are plenty of questions that rage across the internet, and no real answers short of GW, because people don't always like what one TO or another says.

So, is there any known reason for the recent lack of FAQs?

Maybe they've reached a point in which they believed it has reached a fixed balance or tweak.

I think those are released as more codeces come out.

To be honest, the last relevant set of FAQ's was released with DA. Yeah, the daemons 'faq' really didn't change anything aside from a few typos, and didn't close any of the blaring holes or useless units in the book. Honestly, I think it's time that INAT stepped up again to do its job again, since it seems GW no longer feels like they should.

Even then, they have still yet to give an official position on the whole 'more than 1 artifact/relic weapon per character' thing in ANY of the 6e books, let alone the dreaded FW debacle.

It's strange, they've REALLY upped the pace at which they put out books and such, but at the same time they seem to have gotten even lazier with FAQs!

I expect that we'll see a FAQ update of some variety when Nids drop next month.

Yeah, we'll see an FAQ the day after the book drops, correcting a few obvious errors in the book itself, and then silence after that.

Hahahahahahahhaha;

oh stop please stop.

Although i agree with your second sentence, as more codeices come out we are sure to see more faq's.

honestly,
when people submit FAQ questions,
everyone should be adding a line to the effect of:

"in addition to my question, I would like GW to know that one of the leading causes of people quitting the game, is rules disputes. It is no fun to argue over things, and answering FAQ's is arguably the cheapest way GW can enhance my 40/fantasy experience. I do not think it is too much to ask to have GW answer 5 questions a month for each system/codex. as it is, thing that are unclear, often are left so for years or even the entire edition. This is a practice of GW's that frustrates people to no end, and you lose a LOT of customers because of it. assign a few people to answer questions submitted to the FAQ on a regular basis please."

that is actually a valid point. The sole reason i avoid apoc games is because the occasional rules bickering in a CASUAL normal game is common enough, while apoc escalates that by 100x.
There are so many simple FAQ-able questions that GW just refuse to answer, and it would solve so many issues if they did.

Let me answer that for you.

"GW answers 5 questions a month on a regular basis."
