I keep seeing people say we can use forgeworld mdoels in regular 40k games and their events.

Does anyone know where I can find proof of this?

I keep seeing people say we should post in the correct forums.

Does anyone know where OP can find Dakka Discussions?

Wrong forum. Discussed to death already.

Every FW book says "this is official and intended for games of standard 40k" (at least everything besides the specifically labeled Apocalypse-only superheavies/formations/etc). This is not new, it has been GW's policy for several years.

However, some people dislike FW rules for various reasons and have a house rule that FW rules are not allowed (or restricted in some way). This is also not new, people have been house ruling away FW stuff as long as FW has existed.

There isn't any, really. GW and FW both have said absolutely nothing about this since about 2007 when Warwick Kinrade wrote something in one of the IA: Apocalypse books IIRC, despite many people trying to blow smoke about how FW would be as legal as codex entries when 6th was released, but that turned out to be bs: 6th edition rulebook doesn't say anything about FW, GW never made any big announcement promoting their use or trying to push sales for it, etc.

Some people argue that you can simply because GW owns FW so everything they make is "obviously" official for all games. FW used to be considered an "optional" thing, FW themselves even said so for quite a while, basically saying FW was every bit as "official" as Cities of Death, Apocalypse, etc., and encouraged people who want to use FW models to warn people beforehand, and their use in tournaments has always been limited to the whim of the TO. Personally I don't see how that's really changed much in the past few years. People will argue with you about "40k Approved" stamps and gak, but in the end it doesn't really matter. If you play in tournaments and the TO allows FW you have to play against it. If you play pick-up games and you don't want to play against FW models then you don't have to, no one's going to "force" you to play a game of 40k and if they do they know where to get the feth off.

As noted, this topic can be (and has been) better discussed in Tournament Discussions or 40k General Discussions. News & Rumors is limited to discussion of news & rumors.
