If we own the actual army books, but carry pdf to store (that are pirated)
is that allowed? I have seen people use those on IPADS

This reminds me of when me and about 5 friends went to our local store and started a campain. The store manager stopped us after the first game and said we can't continue because all 6 of us need the £50 rulebook and only me and 1 other guy had one! He said if each of us have £50 come and buy one or leave!

I can see it now....Nids are now a collection of autonomous hive fleets there are multiple Hive Minds and they all war with one another in addition to everyone else. They speak to humans using telepathy, and they can now ally with Space Wolves as battle brothers, because reasons.
Tyranids talking to humans would be like you talking to your mashed potatoes or the probiotic in your kiefer drink. It is neither possible nor productive.
Inside my mind I pinched my nipples and savored his bitter silence.

No, not any more. We go some where else now.

I'd say no, unless you carry around a photo of you with your army book, perhaps with instagram, to give it that "I'm such a pro photographer" look.

Really though, if I was the store manager, and not a one like the one in Tod's post, and it's my job to make sure players own the official copy of the codex and not pirated pdf, I still would say no, because just about anyone could lie that they have the army book.

Haha, very funny , but actually my local GW does not have any rough/thieving/anti-social members anyway, this was a one off with a normal person.
