WARHAMMER ARMIES:
OGRE KINGDOMS Official Update Version 1.2
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 letter that language, to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction.
carries a magic banner cannot have any other magic items.
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 Frequently Asked Questions (or ‘F ‘FAQ’) AQ’) 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.
