What are the laws for talking about games workshop rules? I think I can state rules in the rule book, but can I tell points costs or model stats? Can I put links to online rules books and codexes/army books? Please help

B.D.

If it's in the summary sheet, you can post it. You cannot link to codecii/army books, since uploading them on torrenting sites and the like is illegal. You also can not state points costs, although stats are fine - those are in the summary sheets after all.

Pretty much the only way you can get by the points cost rule is to say something akin to "Abaddon the Despoiler costs about as many points as a Space Marine Land Raider, or 5 Land Speeder Tornadoes" or something to that effect.

If you are seriously discussing a unit it's okay to post the relevant points and comparisons.

For example there's a lot of discussion going on about the value of Tau Fire Warriors. It would be completely meaningless to do that without mentioining their points values and comparable points values of enemy units.

It is bulk posting of lists which gives away too much of the copyright material.
