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
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.
