There was a warhammer community article about 8-9 months ago of them doing just that for the second general's handbook of AoS.

I'm hoping for clarifications to some things have have cropped up in rule sets that don't make much sense. Or funny wording where the intention is clear but RAW means you get arguements in gaming centre's etc.

Tournement lists don't care too much. If a tournement whats to ban the flyrant list they can do so FAQ doesn;t affect tournements too much is list building.

We get it, guys. You really, really hate the fact that some people play competitively.

Your casual, for fun lists don't bother me or anyone in a tournament. Cannot for the life of me understand why my/our lists throw you into a fury on the internet.

Please calm down and return to the topic at hand, instead of vaguely being rude to one another.


Don't flagrantly misrepresent people view point, it's beneath you. They are not hating a certain aspect of the game, they simply recognize that it's flawed to use house ruled formats to patch the game proper.

I play both competitively and casually, I get exactly where they are coming from. Being good at adepticon or LVO really has zero baring on 90% of the actual game. They are a format built upon house rules, made up missions and in a timed format. You practice the format and specific missions more then you practice the actually rules proper, which ironically is why so many errors keep popping up on streams.


Come now. I'm taking the piss at the situation. This thread is pages upon pages of people shaming one another, i'm tossing some satire while commenting that both types of play are valid.

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

Nope - per lots of people in this thread - balancing this game is too hard. So GK must remain utter garbage. It's too hard man - just give up.

Not since Chapter Approved of 2017 have so many waited so long and for so little.

Maybe I'll be wrong though. At this point, hype implosion seems inevitable. And here I am with no popcorn in the house.

I'm more waiting for this thread to explode with people complaining things didn't get FAQ'd the way they wanted.

This. I feel like the 40k community is impossible to ever satisfy.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Well, there's the list of what the community wants and expects. My favorite was Tac marines as cheap as scouts.

And hey, as far as I go, I'll take whatever. This edition has already chased off the four other regulars I used to play with, so I'm quickly running out of any dog in this fight unless I start going to the local tournament scene.

What would everyone's reaction be if they posted the FAQ, and it's half a page long, with only one or two questions and answers, all of which are stupid, e.g.:

Q: "When [rule] says NO, does it really mean YES?"

A: "It means NO."

Armies:
Necrons: 3500pts
Genestealer Cult: 5000pts
Grey Knights: 2500pts

It's going to be a huge disappointment to all the people who are treating it like a long-awaited and personally-owed rewrite for Codex: Their Stuff, as opposed to an FAQ.

Particularly when it is specifically titled: BIG FAQ

TO of Death Before Dishonour - A Warhammer 40k Tournament with a focus on great battles between well painted, thematic armies on tables with full terrain.

I play Grey Knights, and every FAQ and release since after 5th edition has been nothing but overhyped disappointment.


I'm hyped for changes-for-the-better again.
