Astrator Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The new PDF is up for the people who do not have access to buy the codex anymore. The missing Alies section in the U.S format is indeed a mistake. And whichever one the tournament/event organizer says to use is the one that we have to abide by. I know that for our tournaments we will be using the Physical codex and NOT the PDF. I hope this helps! Thanks!

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This is pretty derp if you ask me. This 'accident' has touched off unfathomed rage across the internets.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The missing Alies section in the U.S format is indeed a mistake So how do you mistake copying over the inducted unit rules with new pictures?

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Pretty sure they have no idea, and neither do any of us. Hopefully some real clarification will come out after 'Ard Boyz, since they are allowing allies in the finals. Although, as long as your opponent will allow allies, then most of this is moot aside from tournaments.

The emperors chosen Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's GW, what did you expect? And regardless, this is still an official statement on the matter. Why they can't go back and fix the issue is beyond me.

Brovius Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It's as official as any call to thier helpline. And there are numerous exmaples of the same question getting answered differently each time on these forums. Exactly. I emailed GW about it too, and got told the complete opposite to what you were told. They said that this does count as an update, thus making the hard copy codex as 'codex legal' as using the WD Blood Angels. It's likely it was said because of the huge fanbase fallout resulting from their mistake. The only way they can remedy the situation is with a new (and good) codex release *hint hint GW* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204984-the-pdf-codices-do-not-replace-our-physical-books/#findComment-2445357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladeofregret Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 there WAS a mistake, the website has since corrected it. The difference between the foriegn language versions having an allies section and the english one not has been changed so that there are no more allies for any digital version. I've talked to customer support too and as far as they're aware that the new digital version is official but for any ongoing tournaments such as ardboyz will be using the printed one for consistency. And that it's up to you & your opponent or if your at a tourney your tournament organizer. Personally if I was playing a DH player or an IG player, it's the new rulebook. If as a BA player, I was stuck with that lousy BA .PDF for 2 years, then I think it's only fair that they honor their 'new' digital codex. And besides this does away with the Leafblower army that everyone moans about.

Yes you are... In the next few days the PDF will be updated they'll edit out the NFW entry. They will, though, put up a hobby section detailling how to paint blue over your models and how to do an inverted "omega".

The first copy of the PDF I downloaded after they put up has the GK rules on the third page. I still have on my computer, I didn't just imagine it. I've now downloaded the present version and it's gone! I knew I wasn't crazy! Why would they do that? Remove a page they needed? Sure, they needed (from their own point of view) to reformat WH to get rid of the allies/induction rules but why take out this from DH, it defies logic!

Wolfeather Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I am not sure what GW was thinking when they sent out that mini update. They smack us with something that hurts, and give us nothing in return.. If anything they could just reorder the book a little and post up a new page with what we are allowed to have and the rules that go with it, make it a half page or something, smack a huge picture in there with it.. To me, seeing what they did there makes me wonder if we are getting a new codex, or if we are, when we are getting it. If we were getting a new codex soon why make up something like that?
