Hi all,

I've been a long time WH40K Eldar player, but am brand new to this site.

I was wondering what people's opinions are on the old Codex: Craftworld Eldar. It was a supplemental codex to go along with 3rd ed. Eldar. But, since they only revised the old Eldar codex and not the Craftworld supplement, does that mean it is still valid?

Also, do the rules explicitly state that you can't use old edition codexes? Is it legit to use my 3rd ed. codex with the Craftworld add-on?

(I really miss Black Guardians)

Other than with your friends (with their consent) no, it's not.
It's an obsolete codex supplement and has been made redundant by the 4th ed codex.
If you want black guardians, paint your dire avengers black.

Unless you agree with your opponent it's okay beforehand, of course, but Marv is in all senses correct.

Oh, and welcome to Dakka!

You can play with whatever codex you want, with whatever models you want with whatever dice you want with whatever rules you want if both players agree to it.

That being said, under "normal" 40k, I would say it is not "legal" as it is 2 editions out of data and references a codex that is no longer current.
