Spartans Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Just wondering if I could take a pure GK army (just Grey Knights) and take along a couple of Leman Russ' as allies or do I need an Inquisitor and if so and I put one in can I just take IG armour or do I need troops. Reason for asking is looking at whether I can get some ordanance tanks in there somehow. Thanks for your help in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 You need to units of Imperial Guard troops in order to have access to a Leman Russ; unfortunately you can only get one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks but do you have to have an inquisitor or can just GK's take them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 The only units in the DH codex that Inquiisitors are required for "unlocking" are Death Cult Assassins and Officio Assassinorum operatives. A DH army may always induct Guardsmen, with or without an Inquisitor. (Provided you aren't also inducting Space Marines, of course....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartans Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Cool thansk number6, and it is a shame about no SM as that would make an awesome army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charred Heretic Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 If you ask me, the problem you're getting at is that ISTs are pathetic. The DH army really needs some kind of "junior" acolyte troops unit with a cost & statline similar to scouts. Then give them some kind of quirky fluff-based rule that restricts some aspect, (such as requiring each one be attached to a GK troop squad, or "must always charge closest enemy", or "Can't carry a gun", or "Shotguns only"). Maybe call them "Squires". Must be deployed within 12" of their "owning" GK squad, and may only charge with their "owning" squad. I love units that create "hierarchy" within an army.

number6 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Cool thansk number6, and it is a shame about no SM as that would make an awesome army Heh. A lot of people would be made very happy to be able to field both Marines and Guard in the same 40K (non-Apocalypse) army. @Charred: I've had similar thoughts myself, but it never led me to such an interesting conclusion. I really hope GW has been paying attention to this forum over the last several months. The sheer quantity of ideas worth mining.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinnerBeta Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Noooo, leave the IST alone... Seriously, if you'd ask me who needs most love, the list would go something like this: #1 Inquisitors and their units, especially the IST who just reek of potentially awesome fluff #2 GKs #3 SoBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charred Heretic Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Noooo, leave the IST alone...... who needs most love, the list would go something like this: #1 ... the IST I don't understand what you are trying to say: "Leave the IST alone"... "change the IST first priority" (How do we do both?) Maybe you thought that I wanted ISTs to become squires. I did not intend to imply to change the IST. The only thing I'd do for ISTs is lower points cost. Maybe grant Heavy Weapon every 10 models, and maybe free frags/kraks/infiltrate/DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinnerBeta Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sorry, but I don't care about squires. Or any other fan units for that matter. Except for the special characters that BoLS puts in their campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charred Heretic Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sinner, your points are unclear. I don't know what you're trying to express here. @ Num6, thank you for the kind word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 He's trying to say that the Grey Knights should be stuck with a very limited selection of FOC choices. For whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinnerBeta Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 And give the Smurfs more options. Yeah, that MUST be what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissia Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 And give the Smurfs more options. Yeah, that MUST be what I meant. It was suggestead that squires be put in as an additional unit choice, and then you gave this resposne. Sorry, but I don't care about squires. Or any other fan units for that matter. How else do you expect your statements to be taken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinnerBeta Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I love when people make problems where there aren't any. If you really, really didn't get such a simple thing, then there is obviously no point in explaining. What's next, nobody gets what "what a nice weather we have" ?

Charred Heretic Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 There is no problem, sinner. Just questions and constructive speculation about what your somewhat cryptic comments might mean. If you'd like your thoughts to be understood and discussed, feel free to clarify yourself, unless you were simply being sarcastic, acerbic, or issuing veiled insults, all of which are unwelcome, obviously.

SinnerBeta Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 unless youwere simply being sarcastic, acerbic, or issuing veiled insults, all of which are unwelcome, obviously. If you're really suspecting something like that then there is a problem. I already said that if you didn't get it, there is not point explaining it. Just carry on. I don't like wasting time on pointless things. Like what this thread is becoming by getting off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Gentlemen, I don't understand why we are wasting precious posting space and reader time on a meta-squabble. One of the cardinal rules of netiquette -- and the B&C, for that matter -- is to post on-topic or not at all. Productively contribute to the topic at hand, or say nothing. Ignore -- as in, do not respond to -- anything else. Feel provoked? Fine, report it. But do not post about it. I had hoped this topic would swing back around. Sadly, I am now forced to put it out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
