![]() RagnarokAngel: When General’s Handbook 2020 dropped I remember explicitly thinking that the removal of Realm Artefacts was a good call. I figured this is probably a good time to look back at those White Dwarf articles and see what could possibly be salvaged for the competitive scene. Any pitched battle profile otherwise published on or after August 2020.Monstrous Compendium and Legion of Azgorh Warscroll Compendiums.Tome Celestial, dating back to February 2019 and later.Core Book (If you want to be a pedant here the Gaming book as well but presumably only the parts otherwise legal from the publications it borrows from.).You can read the whole list by looking at the General’s Handbook Developer’s Commentary but here’s the short list of what is allowed: They realized that digital copies do exist so theoretically, White Dwarf is never actually a limited run and therefore they could give the OK to allow White Dwarf publications now. Since they weren’t in a battletome or in the General’s Handbook did that mean they were just immediately invalidated? Games Workshop stated there was concern about individuals getting their hands on issues of White Dwarf that could be used to grant advantages to those lucky enough to get it. ![]() The White Dwarf publications caused further confusion after General’s Handbook 2020. For example, Malign Sorcery certainly was allowed, because the Endless Spells didn’t go away, even if Realm Artefacts did. ![]() Unfortunately this was not terribly specific and caused a flood of confusion about what was and wasn’t allowed. The Developer’s Commentary for General’s Handbook 2020 stated that any publications that were not in the most recent General’s Handbook or Battletomes could only be used with opponent’s permission, an example given being the Mercenaries from General’s Handbook 2019 which were unceremoniously removed from Matched Play in 2020. Games Workshop dropped a little bit of an update today to clarify some confusing information as a consequence of GH2020 rules updates.
