Curious as to the opinion of the group towards the use of webstore exclusive rules/formations if you already have all of the models for it, but only have access to the rules online? The whole thing sold out in no time flat, and there was/is no other way to get the rules in hard format. Specifically this is in reference to the Skyhammer Annihilation Force. I've pretty much got the models for this, and it seems so fluffy for Blood Angels that it hurts to see it in blue.  |

I'd be fine with it. I would print the scan of the official formation sheet, rather than have a sheet of rules typed in Word.
Vengeance weapon batteries come with rules in box, but if someone gets one used on eBay or something, they may be missing the official GW rules sheet.
With so many releases so quickly and in so many different media from model boxes to white dwarf to downloads on forgeworld website, there needs to be a level of trust that everyone is providing legit rules and playing their units honestly.

With Hvy on this, aslong as you have the rules printed and its all legible I have no issue with it.

As long as you have the rules printed out I"d assume its fair game. Also, it would be awesome if you specifically pointed out the cool rules when using it. It can be easy to get caught with your pants down.

Yeah be sure you're on point explaining how all the special rules interact, especially with sky hammer. 2 dev squads arriving automatically firing full BS with relentless, and forcing a 3d6 pin test or shutting down overwatch is huge. Especially with 2 assault squads that also auto arriving and allowed to assault same turn.
Every special rule for that formation needs to be disclosed before deployment because that formation could easily win the game turn 1 if someone deploys poorly.

Thanks for the responses! Yeah I usually try to point out what the different detachment bonuses and artifact oddness is beforehand when I play, and when I post lists here.

As long as you tell people everything about it. I mean, I've caught people with their pants down with 30k stuff. Additionally, I feel like these formations are almost like cheating. I mean, almost 800 points of Free Wargear for Skitarii, a 3d6 ld pinning test, and shutting down Overwatch is massive.
