KGatch113 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The Index says for certain units you use their datasheets ( not listed in the DW index entry). Does this mean we can use the entry in Codex Space Marine, including their point costs???? Or do we still buy Captains, Librarians etc from the Index? Thanks!

Moostick Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Codex supercedes Index on all duplicate units, so I would say yes, you use the Codex datasheets. We only use the Index when there isn't an entry for the unit in the Codex.

Macabre Slanneshi Prince Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 We use the index for everything other than the psychic powers, which we can use if we want. If I have a Blood Angels, Dark Angels or Space Wolves army, will I need to buy Codex: Space Marines to use my army? You don’t have to. Other Space Marines factions not covered in the new codex will continue to use all the datasheets, rules and points values in the index until their own codex is released. Rules for new models not covered in the index (like the upcoming Redemptor Dreadnought) will be available in the box with the model and matched play points for these units will be made available online. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/05/codexes-your-questions-answered-july-5gw-homepage-post-2/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339006-deathwatch-and-non-dw-datasheets-legal-source/#findComment-4876837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moostick Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Eh, I'd say that's kind of ridiculous. I would understand not changing Kill Teams (even though SIA is pretty much 3 pts), but for things like Captain/Librarian/Chaplain where we get nothing additional? Meh. "My powerfist costs 12 points. Oh, you're a Dark Angels? Yours? 20! " Can I combine units from the index and a codex into one army?The datasheets in the new codexes overwrite the same datasheets in the index books. You can certainly use units with updated datasheets alongside units from the index that have yet to be updated. Once a unit has been covered in the codex though, we assume you’re using the latest version. We use those datasheets for Captains, etc., so I'd follow that.

Macabre Slanneshi Prince Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 That question and answer is for people playing codex space marines.

Moostick Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Oh I know. Any regular SM player who tries to pull that will still get judged severely though. Xenos/Chaos are acceptable.
