I don't expect them to faq how I want everything to be faq'd but I am confident looking at the aos faq they will answer almost all questions. AoS faq answered everything. They just answered poorly on some things like having multiple named characters in an army and summoned units summoning. This is more then adequate to stop a lot of the arguing about rules. I expect tournaments like ITC to continue to vote on rules changes to make tournaments less lopsided and ridiculous such as invis and 2++ rerollables.

Is it not impossible to powergame in AoS because there are no points?

It's incredibly EASY to do so as there are no points.

Is it not a moot concept when everyone can take everything of everything?

Is this a first? I mean a FAQ that is actually more pages than the rules? lol

It's not, since it has to cover how many pages of Warscrolls?

Really enjoyed the FAQ although I disagree with the summoned units can also cast. I play Chaos Daemons and still think it doesn't make sense, the unit should have to begin on the table at the start of the hero phase to cast.

Aye, these are truly FAQs rather than an errata. So if you don't like the rule don't expect it to change (i.e. the base measuring). Perhaps that'll come with V2.

As for base sizes instead of measuring at a point on a base or point on a mini, just measure from the center of the mini, and volia, base sizes don't matter no more.

No, instead you just have a bunch of arguments over the exact center of the model.

You know, i'm far from a fan of GW on their rules, but some FAQ is better than no FAQ. I don't think it will be perfect, but it's at least some small indicator that they acknowledge it. I'll take a victory, however minor it may be.

Let's not forget that these FAQ's are drafts, so if people give negative feedback on some FAQ's, then GW will change it.

Tomorrow is the last day to give feedback on the FAQ to GW via that same FB post where the draft FAQ was posted. It's hard to sort through the Don't bypass the language filter like this. Reds8n of bitching and the occasional sarcasm but there are some constructive comments in there. If you have a concern with the clarity of a FAQ answer (not if you agree with it or like it) let them know by tomorrow morning.

Cheers!

This certainly stops arguments allright. But is it really an FAQ if you simply reiterate that what the reader just read is correct? The vast majority of the answers are pretty clearly answered simply by reading the rules. The reason that maybe GW has confused them with FAQ is that players were asking questions in a certain way, most being "You can't actually mean that you can take two Nagash's, You can't actually mean that you can have die rolls that you can't fail. You can't actually mean that my opponent can scuff up the paint job on my beautifully painted base by piling all of his figures on it such that they touch and scuff my painted figure. You can't actually mean that you can have potentially unending summoning chains. You can't actually mean that my unit of 25 clan rats can be limited to a 5 rat frontage by another unit of 5 figs of similar base size because we can only pile in directly towards the nearest model and can't lap around. People asking those kinds of questions is what confused GW.

That's the point of FAQs. It doesn't matter how clear it seems to you when you read it, if it's asked enough and there's enough vagueness to warrant those questions, they should give a final response.

The post just updated again. Three ways to play, no details as of this posting.

1) Open Play
2) Narrative
3) Matched (with points values)
