Can someone refresh my memory. Is the Handbook 2008 version of the rules just the GW E:A rules with the errata and FAQs added? |

Nope. The Handbook 2008 was an integration of all of the proposals that were put to GW in 2008 for the rules review. 90% got rejected, so it's an out of date document. The version of the rulebook currently on the GW website integrates all of the 2008 rules review Errata and FAQ's. |

For army lists, the lists developed online by the NetERC (successor to the old ERC with most of the same Army Champions) can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=22113 Whilst the UK tournament organisers have written some army lists for use in their tournaments, which you may enjoy using alternately: http://epic-uk.co.uk/armylists.shtml |

This is why it can get confusing, there is no master thread detailing what is actually the most up to date ruleset inclusive of Q&A. There are some great efforts going into things like compendium 2.0 but they all need to be put into relative terms to all other documentation and Q&A. I suggested in another thread that if EC 2.0 is inclusive of those Q&A, shouldnt they be archived to avoid confusion? (if EC2.0 is a concise and up to date version of the rules) or partially archived if 2.0 isnt fully up to date. If 2.0 isnt a concise and up to date version of the rules then a statement should be made aknowledging it for what it is and commenting that it is out of date to avoid confusion. I have printed and have been using EC2.0 and I dont know 100% if it is the current ruleset, I hope it is but I really dont 100% now if it is  Anyways just a thought to try and simplify things for people

The current core rule set is the rulebook available for download from the GW website: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/conte ... Id=4900003 Any other core rule set downloadable is a project by an individual and is not supported by the NetERC or any tournament organisation. The current Armies Compendium is this one, published January 2012 : viewtopic.php?f=69&t=22113 Any other previously published armies compendium is out of date. The "Epic Compendium 2.0" falls foul of both of those. It is not a recognized rule set by any group, and it does not contain the current versions of the armies within it. |

I expect the ERC will be putting up a central website soon. |

Id=4900003 Reading pdfs and printed out copies gets tiring after a while and I'm thinking of buying the rulebook from GW. Does any of you gents know if the rule book GW have for sale is the updated version? I mean is it printed with the 2009 changes or are they from an older print? I don't want to buy if it's old then I'll just print the pdf version in a printshop. cheers! |
