WARHAMMER 40,000: GREY KNIGHTS1

WARHAMMER 40,000 CODEX:

GREY KNIGHTSOfficial Update Version 1.0

Although we strive to ensure that our codicies areperfect, sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition,we occasionally print new versions of our rules, thatrequire amendments to be made in older versions ofour army books. When such issues arise we feel that itis important to deal with them as promptly as we can,and we therefore produce regular updates for all ofour army books. When changes are made, the versionnumber will be updated, and any changes from theprevious version will be highlighted in Magenta. Wherea version number has a letter, E.g. 1.1a, this means ithas had a local update, only in that language, to clarifya translation issue or other minor correction.

Each update is split into three sections: Errata,Amendments, and ‘Frequently Asked Questions’. TheErrata corrects any mistakes in the codex, while theAmendments bring the codex up to date with the latestversion of the rules. The Frequently Asked Questions(or ‘FAQ’) section answers commonly asked questionsabout the rules. Although you can mark correctionsdirectly in your codex, this is by no means necessary –just keep a copy of the update with your codex.
