These are the latest FAQs as published by GW. They tend to be what is used in most play as a baseline. As a player you may well find that some groups house-rule certain items or produce their own tournament FAQs or similar. As these ones are published by GW though, they usually carry more weight and tend to be thought of as 'official'. It is a good idea to have read through these, particularly the BRB and HE FAQs.
