Over the last few months, I’ve been privileged to be part of a group of contributors who have been developing an Unofficial Community FAQ for Old World.
This document aims to be a tool for interested Tournament Organisers (TOs) and players. Our goal is to provide missing rules, clarify unclear rulings, and explain rules where we believe clarification is needed.
The questions answered in this document are sampled by contributing members and are based on questions from their player base.
This FAQ does not aim to be binding or official in any way and is made with the sole purpose of improving the flow of games. Everyone interested is welcome to participate in our work. If you’re interested in taking part, please join the FAQ Discord server.
To make it easier for everyone, the structure of this document follows the individual phases of the turn. Within the phases, the given FAQs are again ordered by categories (Keywords).7
Remember, the document is searchable via PDF.
How Decisions are Reached
When a question is submitted, contributors will consider whether the question needs an FAQ, or whether Games Workshop has a clear written rule, or an FAQ themselves that answers the question.
If the question is considered ambiguous the contributors will discuss the rule and the possible answers. These are then put to a vote.
If a Games Workshop FAQ is released at a later date which answers the question, the FAQ for this will be removed to avoid any potential confusion.
The PDF is laid out in a clear manner, with sections corresponding to the main rule book. Each question has a voting ID, which the committee can review in case it either needs to revisit the question or remove it from the Unofficial FAQ. References to relevant rules are also included below the question to allow the reader a reference check.
