Toogeloo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I am the only Inquisitional army at my local game store. Most everyone else plays Tau, Eldar, Chaos Daemons, or Marines. A debate came up today that I was considering using 3 Death Cultists and a Vindicare in an upcoming list. I was told that only one Assassin (or in the case of the Death Cults, up to 3) may be fielded in a list unless I was playing Apocalypse. I said that only one Officio Assassinorum Assassin could be fielded, but Death Cultists weren't listed as Officio's. The disagreement continued even after I showed the codex (though I garnered the support of one unbiased individual who took my side as RAW witness). My question is, can you field multiple Assassins so long as only one is an Officio Assassinorum Assassin?

revnow Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 This isn't even a question. The 0-1 restriction is only for Officio Assassinorum Operatives. Deathcultists are a completely different FOC choice. The Codex should have made that perfectly clear.

SJumppanen Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My question is, can you field multiple Assassins so long as only one is an Officio Assassinorum Assassin? Yes, no doubt about it. It is pretty obiviously stated in Codex.

Lady_Canoness Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think a smiting is in order to show your fellows the error of their ways.

Eltnot Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 [sarcasm] Jam a Death Cult Assassin in one of their eyes, and an Officio Assassinorum Assassin in their other to show that you can indeed field both...

krewl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Jam a Death Cult Assassin in one of their eyes, and an Officio Assassinorum Assassin in their other to show that you can indeed field both... Lol @ above, reminds me of the old metal dreadnought in a sock argument. Hit them with it and you win the discussion :) Though Eltnot is somewhat rude in his expression, they are plainly as wrong as they can be. Heck, you could if you wanted use 9 Deathcults or 6 deathcults and one officio assasin. (You'd need an =][= lord though). There is just no way to explain it, it says so in the rules in your codex that the limit of 0-1 is only for the officio assasins. What you do with the other losts is up to you. I just wish you luck because it seems this was more of a bad mindset issue then a normal rules dispute. Sometimes people (Especially in my experience the red shirts) don't like to admit they where mistaken about their game.

Inquisitor Fox Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Wow... I wasn't aware that anyone could conclude that Death Cult Assassins were Officio Assassinorum Operatives, especially when in the box describing the types of OA Ops it only lists the 4 types. You could always point out that if Death-Cult Assassins were limited 0-1, how then can they be fielded in a unit of 1 to 3? You can totally do 6 DCA's and one Imperial Officio Assassinorum Operative, or up to 9 DCA's.
