Basically the title. But for a bit more detail, I'm wondering if I can use artifacts from both the CSM codex and the Crimson Slaughter supplement in the same army.

In the same Army - Yes
In the same Detachment - No

If you take a CSM CAD and a Crimson Slaughter CAD in the same army, then the characters in the CSM CAD will have access to the Artefacts from the CSM codex, and the characters in the Crimson Slaughter CAD will have access to the Relics from the Crimson Slaughter Supplement. They cannot take Relics/Artefacts from each other's publications.

From the Crimson Slaughter Supplement:

RELICS OF THE CRIMSON SLAUGHTER
Any character in your Crimson Slaughter detachment that can select Chaos Artefacts cannot select from those listed in Codex: Chaos Space Marines , but can instead select from the Relics of the Crimson Slaughter, presented opposite, at the points cost shown

Did that not change on the newest Crimson Slaughter? To:

RELICS OF THE CRIMSON SLAUGHTER
Any character in your Crimson Slaughter Detachment or Formation that can select Chaos Artefacts may choose from the Relics of the Crimson Slaughter (opposite), at the points cost shown, in addition to the Chaos Artifacts from Codex: Chaos Space Marines

In General, though, whether a Army/Detachment can take Relics both from a codex abnd supplement together depends on the wording on the Supplement.

Oh, shoot, maybe I've still got the old version. If that's the case then yeah, Avadar is correct.

Yes, they changed it. You can do it with both Black Legion and Crimson Slaughter. The same is true for war lord traits and formations/detachements.

Just a shame you can't mix and match on the same model.

It is 'in addition to' rather than either/or, so does that not imply you can mix?

Indeed it does, but the silly faq has a one relic per model rule :(.

Yea, well... I'm gonna ignore the feth out of that part of the faq, so as far as I'm concerned...mix and match as you see fit

Just make sure the other game organizers feel the same way, or you may find the number of games you have access to limited.

Sure, but when is that not case these days?
