Datasheets across Codices the same?

[HighMarshalAmp]

Two years ago, this argument had not been settled.

Has there been a ruling yet?

 

If, for example, there's a Datasheet named Dreadnought in the DA Codex and one named Dreadnought in the C:SM, do they count as the same Datasheet?

This was answered not long after the rule of 3 was added.

From the main rulebook FAQ, "Q3) Are the Daemon Prince datasheet from Codex: Chaos Space Marines, the Daemon Prince of Chaos datasheet from Codex: Chaos Daemons, the Daemon Prince of Nurgle datasheet from Codex: Death Guard, and the Daemon Prince of Tzeentch datasheet from Codex: Thousand Sons all considered different datasheets for the purposes of the Organised Events guidelines? A3) No. For the purposes of these guidelines all these datasheets are all considered to be the same.

Q4) Are the Heavy Weapons Squad datasheet from Codex: Astra Militarum, the Death Korps Heavy Weapons Squad datasheet from Imperial Armour – Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum, the Elysian Heavy Weapons Squad datasheet from Imperial Armour – Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum, and the Renegade Heavy Weapons Squad datasheet from Imperial Armour – Index: Forces of the Astra Militarum considered to be a different datasheet for the purposes of the Organised Events guidelines? A4) No. For the purposes of these guidelines all these datasheets are all considered to be the same."

 

Yes they count as the same datasheet.
