Such as Codex:Eye of Terra and Codex:Assassins?

Also do you need the actual codex to play them or can you use PDFs? It is hell to get your hands on one these days. I mean, if you own your original army codex such as Codex:Space Marines or Codex:Imperial Guard for Codex:Assassins, or Codex:Chaos space marines, Codex:Eldar, Codex:Imperial Guard, etc, for Codex:Eye of Terra?

Assassins have been out of date since daemon/witchhunters was released, so it is no longer legal. Campaign codex are out of date and usually are only support by GW during the campaign, after which they sweep it under the carpet.

I highly doubt they would be legal in the bigger tournaments. Maybe in a smaller, store run tournament, but otherwise, I would'nt say so

Generally - no, as in I have never seen a tournament allow them

Most specify the most current published codex for each army.

Additionally Assassins is about the only codex to ever be specifically invalidated by GW.

However, like all these questions - ask your TO, they have the final say.

They would be legal in any tournament that includes them in the list of legal codexes for that tournament.

You would need to check with the TO if they tournament has no such list in their rules package.

Why is genestealers cult legal? I have never even heard it mentioned in anything GW.

The pen is mightier then the sword, but you must keep a sword handy for when the pen runs out of ink.

There was a Chapter Approved GS Cult codex printed in Citadel Journal, way back when. It would require major updates to make it viable.

The only Genestealer Cults I've ever seen in a tournament have been counts-as. Cultist models but using a current and legal codex for rules.

Yep, that's the way I run mine these days when I use them. Generally as Orks.
