Lack of GW Errata - Causing Problems in the Game

One of the most frustrating aspects of GW's current operating model is the lack of errata and FAQs.

This means that some of the more recent books do not have glaring errors addressed.

Be it "Predatory Fighter" or something else, everyone will have their particular bugbear.

For me the most glaring mistake is the classification of Dark Elves' Warlocks as "Rare". Anybody with a passing interest in the game will tell you that there is no way in hell that these are rare, often outnumbering infantry in DE armies (that assumes you exclude RBT crew as infantry models - the 8 you field are only wound markers afterall).

Generally the number of Warlocks on show will outnumber Dark Riders, but here's a funny thing. They really are a force multiplier as they seem to have an uncanny ability to attract swarms of other Fast Cavalry and characters on Pegasus mounts.

Obviously no self respecting Dreadlord (or Morathi or Level 4 Death Sorceress in lower point games) will be seen with out ten of these - to quote the hipster jibe - "bad boys". But really that's just the door price as 90% of DE armies will shoe-horn in 20 of the cute little donkeys.

So GW has obviously erred here. The playing base are showing "These aren't Rare at all". I look forward to their inevitable shift to "Special", perhaps even "Core".

And aren't they just great looking models!
