WARHAMMER ARMIES:

HIGH ELVES
Official Update Version 1.4
Although we strive to ensure that our army books are perfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionally print new versions of our rules, that require amendments to be made in older versions of our army books. When such issues arise we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptly as we can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all of our army books. When changes are made, the version number will be updated, and any changes from the previous version will be highlighted in Magenta. Where a version number has a letter, E.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction. Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments, and Frequently Asked Questions. The Errata corrects any mistakes in the book, while the Amendments bring the book up to date with the latest version of the rules. The Frequently Asked Questions (or FAQ) section answers commonly asked questions about the rules. Although you can mark corrections directly in your army book, this is by no means necessary just keep a copy of the update with your army book. Page 47 The Arts of Saphery, High Magic.

Q: The Speed of Asuryan special rule states that all High Elves have the special rule Always Strike First, regardless of the weapon they are wielding. How does this interact with a great weapons Always Strike Last? (p43) A: The army book will take precedence in this situation. For example, a Sword Master would strike first with his great weapon. If his Initiative value is equal to or higher than his opponents, he will also benefit from a re-roll to hit. Q: Does Drain Magic make it more difficult to dispel Remains in Play spells, cast Bound spells or use spells that are automatically cast at the power level of their casting cost? (p46) A: No. Q: What happens when you use Vauls Unmaking to destroy a magic item that is represented by a model in game, such as a mount or Fozzriks Folding Fortress? (p47) A: Nothing. We assume the magic item is what summons the mount/fortress, so destroying the item will have no in-game effect. Q: Do Lion Cloaks provide any form of protection against magic missiles (or other forms of direct damage magic)? (p58) A: No. Q: Is Teclis considered to be a High Elf Archmage for purposes of granting an army he is included in a +1 to dispel ? (p66) A: Yes. Q: Must Eltharion use spells from one of the eight Lores of Magic found in the Warhammer rulebook? (p69) A: Yes. Q: Does a model with the Reaver Bow suffer the -1 To Hit penalty for firing multiple shots? Also, may a model with the Reaver Bow fire it three times as part of a Stand and Shoot reaction? (p99) A: No to both questions.
