Take the newest CSM codex for example. It sucks. Flat out simple as that. Loyalist versions are better, they lack allies, the internal balance is horrible, etc.
If you actually live in an area where people are good and not CAAC, you cannot bring stuff from the codex and expect to actually have a decent chance of winning.
SO, queue Forge World to bring in an armory for CSM's to actually have reasonable options. When Serpent Spam was big, I actually had a chance because I had Sicarans, and with the Purge FOC, I can better utilize my slots and ally in different things.
So PLEASE explain how you want CSM players to compete. I don't want your people's garbage of "Oh they do fine here". Anecdotal evidence of your LGS means little. Someone proved that earlier when they made mention that a tournament banned FW and only 4 people showed up.
Build me a winning CSM list without FW. You cannot.
I can and have. I just took my Night Lords, as mentioned to an ITC tournament brimming with Forge World. Defeated a Forge World Tyranid list, defeated the Decurion Necrons list and would have defeated the Chaos Daemon list with its flying Sorcerers had I not forgotten to score points on two different occassions ( that loss was on me, not my list. Just boned it).
So I'm really not in agreement at all. In another game most recently they fought the Iron Hands and I tied that game after killing just one Tactical Marine the entire game. My opponent was in the ard boyz finals and has a lot of tourney wins.
So I guess what Im saying is: maybe its not the codex. Maybe its the list or maybe the General. As I proved last Saturday, you can be very competitive with Chaos. I can't sit here and have an entire thread on that so feel free to pm me but I dont share this mentality on Chaos. Ill agree with you this far though: there is no doubt the codex needs an update but I also dont think its so terrible that you need Forge World to make a difference. Well let me rephrase that. I don't.
No, you didn't. If you did and actually got results at those tournaments, people would talk about a topping CSM list. So I'm calling you out on that.
For the record, ITC is house rules.

sure you can kit bash it just like we all do and proxy it. But technically the official model is only available from forge world. Additionally the Galaxy of War book mentions forge world along side other expansions. It seems odd to allow the skyhammer or data slates but not an IA book.

Where does it say that BRB+Codex is the "Core Game"? It's a simple question. You seem so adamant about the existence of this "core game" but you seem to avoiding the question of the proof of it's existence.

So, your answer is evasion and simply repeating your "core game" myth without ever citing any rules from GW.

There is no definition of what a Citadel miniature is, Janc. You can't use the strict letter of the BRB to enforce rules it simply doesn't work.

That would mean that FW rules are ok, you just have to use Citadel miniatures to represent them on the tabletop. And of course it would mean that proxies/conversions/etc are banned, and it would be illegal to use a FW marine kit to represent a C: SM tactical squad. But somehow I doubt you're going to enforce that part of the rule.

No, you were asked for a source as to what constitutes the "core game" that isn't just your say so, that defines it in anywhere int he rules or from any GW source as "codex+rulebook". That's what you were asked, and did not provide a response to other than just re-iterating what your definition was.
Your concept of "core game" is an erroneous one, something of your own creation, the concept of a "core game" is not something that has any basis in the rules of the game.

Don't bother at this point. He doesn't provide sources and apparently has a magical Night Lords list that happens to win most of its games against tournament lists which, ya know, hasn't won any tournaments.

Yup. 1++ FNP (As in, a FNP you can never technically fail) is totally legal under RAW.
Other silliness:
One use only: Rule refers to something called a battle. There is something called a game in 40k but the overall event that concerns the 40k rules isn't called a battle. Therefore, the rule is meaningless.
Preferred enemy: Technically speaking, if a unit that has this rule but doesn't specify a faction then it has to reroll 1s to hit/wound if for whatever reason it commits friendly fire. The rule states that an unspecified preferred enemy applies to everyone. Not just enemy models. This can also be true if the preferred enemy specifies your own faction.
Vehicles can move up and down straight walls as long as they have enough movement to do so. You can move a Taurox up the side of the building like there were suction cups on the treads or something.

No. I don't see that. What I see is that I had to bring my A game. THAT'S what I found out. Lol.
So? You had to bring your A-Game. Isn't that what tournaments are about? I'd hope that people in a tournament aren't going thinking they'l cruise to victory.
But bringing your A-game, with a bottom tier army, you managed to defeat some armies consisting of Forgeworld models you'd never played against before.
That invalidates your 'cumulative experience cost' argument. You could defeat those enemies regardless of having no experience against them. There is no 'cost' to learning to play against these armies, because (like pretty much everything else in 40k) once you know the archetypes you can play against anything.
