WARHAMMER ARMIES:

HIGH ELVESOfficial Update (July 2010)

Although we strive to ensure that our army books are perfect,sometimes mistakes do creep in. In addition, we occasionallyprint new versions of our rules, that require amendments to bemade in older versions of our army books. When such issuesarise we feel that it is important to deal with them as promptlyas we can, and we therefore produce regular updates for all ofour army books.

Each update is split into three sections: Errata, Amendments,and ‘Frequently Asked Questions’. The Errata corrects anymistakes in the book, while the Amendments bring the book upto date with the latest version of the rules. The FrequentlyAsked Questions (or ‘FAQ’) section answers commonly askedquestions about the rules. Although you can mark correctionsdirectly in your army book, this is by no means necessary – justkeep a copy of the update with your army book.
