As we have received this question several times now, we would like to clarify our stance on newly released models.
We will consider a model legal for use if it is fully available according to the PP Store before list lock; note that this does not include pre-order models. You may of course still make your own conversion based on our rules outlined on page 19-20 of the Player Pack, but they may not serve as stand-ins for models that are not otherwise available yet.
In the past, it has been the case that models were considered legal as soon as they were available in the app. However, since MK4, Privateer Press has preferred to make the rules available as soon as possible, so people would know what they were getting themselves into before pre-ordering.
Our ruling outlined above stems from this, as we cannot reasonably expect that all pre-orders will arrive precisely on time for (unreleased) models that would be in the app on the day of list lock.
The Player Pack will be updated soon to reflect the above.
