I was told by the local tournament organizers that only FW units with 40k approved are legal. It seems like its going to be a long time before its updated. I thought basically only the ones that had experimental rules were out, besides ones that are ruled too powerful for use, like the lynx has been ruled here.

As the Elysian were updated in Taros/Anphelion 2.0, and the Dredd Mob exists as a 6th-valid PDF via Forgeworld's website, I doubt IA8 will get a re-do. They're more likely at this point to do a new IA with Orks to update the relevant units and some other Imperial faction for which they'd like to do something with.

Assuming there is ever a timeslot between shoulder pads and contemptors, that is.

I figure they'll have all the legions covered by 2025, then they might squeeze it in before releasing bits for some new chapter with "Mysterious orgins"

IIRC everything in that book is redone/covered with newer publications.

That said, the reliance some places put on having that silly stamp is a bit ridiculous, it doesn't change the intent of the models or anything, it's just something they did to differentiate stuff at the end of 5E.

Both the Krieg Siege list and the Renegades and Heretics list from Vraks were up as PDFs, with the latter being replaced by the list in IA13, yet they just took the PDFs down and released an updated Vraks compendium.
