FAQ final draft?

[royalecheez]

Does anyone know when this will happen? How long has it taken in the past for a draft FAQ to become law??

[snowdaman]

We don't know. This is the first time they have put out a draft.

Sent from my SGH-I337M using proboards

[blackrainbow]

We can guess though ~~~~mmmmm I predict within the year. Maybe not this year, but within a year.

Less snarky, as above. This is new territory!

[gigasnail]

the AoS draft isn't out yet and it predates the 40K one by what, 3-4 weeks? no time soon would be my guess.

[royalecheez]

Thanks for the info. This is the first FAQ draft they have ever done for the core rule set?

I'm just wondering as to the likely hood of any changes to the draft I.e. do they actually listen to the players and re work some of the things we are crying out as ridiculous, that severely impact units or the way certain armies and lists play??

I've been playing 40k for a long time but never outside the basement/local shops. I'm starting to look into tournament stuff so I'm kind of out of my element here

[royalecheez]

I know GW likes to set the shaft to the players it seems but I've heard they might be trying to change that image so maybe they will actually listen?

They still need to finish the drafts for the rest of the armies too. I can't remember if there was another group after the GSC one.

This is the first time they've done anything like this. However in each of the drafts they specifically state the feedback they're looking for is "do we understand what they're saying" and not whether we agree with their rules re-writes.

Still, it doesn't hurt to try. I let them know where they contradicted themselves (i.e. flat out re-writes, vs incomplete or non-functional rules) and so did a lot of other folks, for w/e good it will do.

Probably not - as giga says, they're not after that sort of thing, GW is infamous for not listening to feedback. But, this is pretty unprecedented, so who knows what they'll do?

Yeah, KDK and LotD came out. They're releasing something (I think 2 each time so far) every Wed/Thurs (or local timezone equivalent). So, probably 2-4 months till they're done with that?

Alright. I'm really bummed then. I was really really forward to toying around d with GSC but if they are going to remain AoC I don't think I'm going to bother...

[royalecheez]

Here's to.hoping for a new codex soon. I'm really digging the models but I have been toying around with different things and proxying models in game to test stuff and they just seem like a pretty underwhelming army. I'm going to press on though. For some reason I have an itch right now that only bugs can scratch.

[Lilycat]

Suddenly they staple the final version into the rulebook and call it 8th.

I'd recommend proxying some acolytes (and possibly some purestrains) just in a CAD (probably with patty) and trying them out.
They're not hugely affected by the AoC (especially with the change to infiltrate, not having to deploy), and from my very limited experience (and others' comments) they bring some nice cheap ground presence for objectives.

It'd border on a miracle if GW were to release a new addition that actually solves more problems than it creates. Last time that happened was what, 40k 3rd?

5th solved the shin high hedge problem somehow. lol
