Well, I'll be dropping the Ebon Chalice Imagifer+Exorcists combination. At the very least, I'm on 3+/4+ for the good acts instead of 2+.

It's definitely an inconvenience that I'll actually have to use the Acts of Faith as intended, which is comparatively very weak. I fully support the measure of restricting index and obsolete datasheets from competitive play, though.

I mean they stated in the battlebulletin that faith is getting an overhaul....that's a problem that won't even be around for when this new legends thing happens

Anyone that didn't realise index units were going away at some point was living a lie.

If they were models you had before yeah, it sucks. If you made them after your codex came out without said entry, tough luck you should have known better.

That's such a self rightous thing to say..
Before a new edition/codex is provided for the army? No, definitely not.

How was I supposed to know better if I got into the hobby in January/february this year? There is no "autarch on foot" model on sale (which is a codex entry) so I made my own, and at the time the understanding was that the previous index options are legal and are supported by the codex (I even bought the index..) which was all hella confusing and took a lot of explaining by my FLG to get my head around in the first place(not to mention the flowchart which was re-iterated in a subsuqent FAQ)..

It wasn't until many months into the hobby I fully grasped the entire context of legacy index', and where the game is at. And at no point throughout this was there any hint that these options are going to be invalidated this edition and in fact it appeared to the contrary.

Well the fact they don't even sell rules anymore is kinda telltale they aren't going to last forever.

Doesn't effect me at all. The apparent replies from GW is that the Indexes are all still legal (following the flowchart).

Pretty much this?

I was under the impression the flowchart gak is still relevant.

Can anyone cite an FAQ stating otherwise?
I'm confused..

I spent a lot of time converting & painting the visarch kit into a winged autarch with reaper launcher to be my lead HQ.
Considering how there no official model for "autarch on foot" they can do one with the whole no models no rules BS.

Keep in mind legends isn't officially out there so that's obviously their response. It's the standard "use the current codex" reply even if everybody knew new codex is coming within weeks. GW's official position is for CURRENT situation. Not what's coming.

Once the legend comes their official position(as they have stated) is that they don't recommend them for tournaments. Of course tournaments can ignore that but seeing several tournaments(including whole ETC) already ban them I'm expecting # of tournaments following that to go up.

And as 20+ years have shown tournament rules have funny habit of leaping into even non tournament players. It's kinda hard to play if 2 players are playing on different rulesets...So standardisation tends to happen.
