Yesterday Warhammer Community have announced how the future of FAQs will be published.

To make it nice and clear here is the image explaining the time frame of FAQ updates:

Even more interesting is that Games Workshop have revealed two updated rules for gamers to try out before making them official.

The first revolves around targeting characters:

Second is a change to the psychic phase:

We’ll be giving both of these rules a test in our next few games of 40k. The Smite change could make quite a big difference for armies with a large number of psychers. I’m starting a Tyranid army in the new year and I’d been rubbing my hands together on the amount of Smites I maybe able to cast as I’ll have a lot of psychers.

Will you be trying these new rules? What do you think?

As a BA player (with many character choices), the targeting rule is rather unfortunate 😅… It looks like I will need to focus more attention on careful unit placement/movement in the future. It makes sense though seeing as many new codexs seem to adding a lot more ‘character’ keywords, especially for the imperium.

Also, I have noticed a lot more pychic powers being abused lately in certain armies (cough*CHAOS*cough). Smite can be quite powerful so I think the cumulative upkeep to manifest multiple smites is necessary to preserve balance. I can’t even imagine how a Drukari player would feel trying to deal with a barrage of pyschic basically having no defense against it.
