Editing Codex (section)

== Dataslates ==
Around the tail-end of 6E, there were releases for Dataslates: small electronic documents along the likes of the [[Inquisition]], [[Adepta Sororitas]], and [[Legion of the Damned]] Codices that gave the players a small bit of fluff on the units/formations in question, but also granted access to certain formations with special rules inaccessible otherwise. Some ([[Cypher]], [[Be'lakor]]) gave full stories and rules for a single character, while others (practically every other dataslate, but especially the Tyranid ones) gave full formations that counted outside the FOC, and thus could be spammed with impunity. That said, however, there is a middle ground between codices and slates, as was the case with the character dataslates as well as the [[Officio Assassinorum]] dataslate that acted as a mini-codex.

Fantasy similarly has Battlescrolls which follow the same rules (Be'lakor's Dataslate acted as rules for him in both games even!), and have the Scrolls of Binding act in a way to grant Lords of War to certain Fantasy armies by letting them field behemoth creatures.
