Quote Well, to be honest, it doesn't take THAT long to type about a hundred words onto a PDF document and host it onto your website...

It takes longer then you would think, considering they have to write it in multiple languages and pull resources away from codex and rulebook translation duties to do so.

I think it would take around a month, max. There's no reason why an FAQ of about 100 words should take upwards of 5-6 months unless they're stretching the question period as long as possible. If a new rule

Agreed...which makes me wonder why they'd bother with this when key unanswered questions still remain with some of the codices.

Unless it has been corrected since the last time I checked, it seems they just translate the english FAQ for the other language, while some translation errors inside codices could have been corrected : in the french version of the SM, there is a problem with hellfire shells and hellfire rounds... Lazy bunch.

Man, I have never seen any document, FAQ or otherwise, that combines a complete answering of all questions, with the gentle Tao of poetry in motion.

Truly GW, this extensive and beautiful document is too good for this world...

If by month you mean day, then yes, I agree.

Glad they FINALLY cleared that question up, now my gaming group can resume playing.

Alright, first this was the best news and rumor I've read, ever. Second, now with these pressing questions taken off my mind, perhaps the planetstrike nightmares will finally end. God bless you GW, you saved my life, and I think the life of everyone who read that holy text.

I don't think I can read that all in one sitting, I'll post my thoughts tommorrow.
