XV22 Commander

[Panxer]

Does anyone know if the XV22 Tau commander rules are legal?

[DarkLink]

That's forgeworld, right? Then it's pretty much opponent's permission. Forgeworld's gotten a bit more official, but it's not widely accepted at tournaments yet.

[Charistoph]

What book has the Forgeworld rules for the XV-22? It's not like they currently sell the model. The only one I know of is Citadel's Shadowsun, which are as legal as Farsight is.

[Panxer]

Right. Shadowsun IS the XV22 but forgeworld has their own rules for a generic (non-shadowsun) model. I'm sure it's not 'legal' in tourney play (nothing fun usually is). I'm just wondering if it's 'legal' as a general principle a la forgeworld up date for Tau.

[Tynskel]

It isn't opponents permission. Forge world rules are totally legitamite. What are you gunna say? Sorry you cannot play with your awesome looking Elysian army! Nope, you cannot play your corsairs!

The permission stuff is silly. C model, c model with rules. Run, model, run!

Hey Tynskel, maybe you should read the rulebook like your obnoxious thread suggests. Pg.2.

...Forgeworld has their own rules for a generic (non-shadowsun) model....

Uhm... could you please put the link up? I have the Tau update with the Tetra and the XV-81, -84, and -89 rules, but there's nothing about a generic Shadowsun suit...

Hey Tynskel, maybe you should read the rulebook like your obnoxious thread suggests. Pg.2.

Hey bfmusashi, you should read the ALL the rules, like my obnoxious thread states, and you would know that forgeworld doesn't need permissions.


On the another note:
Where are these x22 rules? I don't see them in the forgeworld tau FAQ, nor do I remember them being in the taros campaign book.

Prove it. Find the passage and I will apologize. In the mean time, which I'm sure will be short as you are clearly a font of knowledge on the topic, your opponent has to agree to play you. Although they may smell like it, game stores are not dungeons and no one has to play with you.

Calm down y'all. There's no place in the current 5th edition codex that explicitly says Forgeworld models are legal upon GW sanction. GW does sanction certain models and rules for use for the purpose of Tournament Organizer's ease.

Many casual games are ok with Forgeworld models and rules (I mean, you're playing with your friends, right?), but in tournaments, you have to clear the rules with the Tournament Organizer first. If they OK your list/models, then you're good to roll.
