So BattleScribe says my sorc in term armor can take powerfists and all the regular term equipment but the codex entry says no what gives?

**BaconCatBug**

It's Index Wargear.

I've told the Battlescribe people multiple times that Index Wargear needs to be marked or hidden by default, but apparently there are technical limitations.

So is it still matched play legal?

Yes. But for how long is anyone's guess (i.e. Legends status ala AOS is coming to 40k soon). The explicitly stated intention of the Index Wargear Flowchart is for bittervets who have models made pre-No Models, No Rules. If you're a new player you're far better off pretending the Indexes don't exist.

From Warhammer Community:

With so much awesome stuff on the way for Warhammer 40,000, you might be wondering what’s happening to some of the treasured older models that previously had rules in our Index books. While these might not have a place in our codexes any more, we know that they definitely have a place in your hearts, which is why you’ll be delighted to hear that we’ll be supporting them FOREVER with Warhammer Legends.

Your Imperial Space Marine? Rules, FOREVER. Your Chaplain on Bike? You can use him until actual Space Marine Chaplains on actual Space Marine bikes are invented in the year 30,000.** And, to top it all off, they’ll be getting points, meaning if that’s how you like to balance your games, we’ve got you covered.

Every year, we review all of the points values (for all of the units) in Warhammer 40,000. We won’t be doing this for the Warhammer Legends, though. Once we’ve assigned them their final points, they won’t be part of that ongoing balance review – and we won’t be recommending Legends units for competitive tournaments. This means that event organisers and attendees alike can guarantee everything they’re gaming with is easily available and has been subject to the same rigorous balance and playtesting process. Of course, organisers are also free to run Legends events, allowing the use of the full classic range in their games.

Since a fair number of groups like to use tournament rules in their casual games as well you may not be able to use them depending on your local meta.

What about people who're bitter that their new models don't even come with the basic loadout the unit is supposed to?

Take a lesson from Dias of Destruction and Doom of Malan'tai owners and just move on.

index options do show up as index but some slip through the cracks

for instance the ork codex shows the nob with shoota (index).

Even with legend status it will still be matched play legal.

That's irrelevant if the majority of groups choose not to allow it though, such as with rule of 3. We don't know for sure which way consensus will go on it until it happens of course.
