jeffersonian000 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Last I checked, the article was still available on the Australian GW site. <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION> However, whether or not you acquire the article in question, the rules reference the 4th edition Space Marine codex, and are therefore no longer valid in 5th edition 40k. If you want to play a Deathwatch Kill Team army, the easist way is to play codex Marines and simply use Sternguard as "counts as" Deathwatch. They have functionally the same rules (the same special ammo, but no suspensor mounted heavy bolters) and with the right special character, they can even hold objectives.

number6 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 jeffersonian: Under no circumstances will you or anybody else offer to supply GW copyrighted material to anybody! Be thankful I don't slap you with an official warning right here and now. :rolleyes: Infringing or offering to infringe on GW IP is one of the worst B&C rules violations, and it is within the mod team's purview to act extremely swiftly and harshly. Don't make me regret being light with you right now, as an automatic warning is de rigeur for what you have just done. Requests for GW IP are just as bad, so the rest of you: don't even think about asking. B) +++++ To answer the question: GW has removed the DW Kill Team rules, which implies that -- along with Lost and the Damned and Kroot Mercenaries -- these rules are no longer supported or "official". There are lots of problems with them anyway. They totally depended on the 4th edition Space Marines codex and are nearly unusable with the 5th edition codex. They would require a lot of work to make usable. And the truth is, except for suspensors, SM Sternguard are pretty much everything the old DW kill team was ... and then some. Just use sternguard to represent DW. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179413-deathwatch-question/#findComment-2123605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 My apologies. It's a freely distributed PDF produced by GW Australia that is free for download. I retract my offer.

Chengar Qordath Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It's a freely distributed PDF produced by GW Australia that is free for download. I'm a bit confused; I was under the impression that things like freely available PDFs off the GW website didn't violate the IP protection rules for the forum. If that's not the case, then what exactly are the rules?

jeffersonian000 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Here is a link to GW's article on their IP: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/...jsp?aId=3900002 This site has its own standard for dealing with IP; I do not wish to cause problems. I will refrain from posting anything that can be considered IP infringement.

number6 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Items that are no longer available can't be distributed because they still remain copyrighted GW IP. GW can retract anything they like, but that doesn't mean they don't still own it. Items that GW makes available on their websites are copyrighted GW IP, too, and can't be redistributed by anybody not GW under any circumstances. You (we) may provide convenient links to such products (such as we have done before for GW hobby articles and FAQs), but that's as far as we are allowed to go with it.
