Rahveel Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 yes. with the counts-as rule, you can feild your chaos as SM's or DA's. many will give you a hard time about it, but there are plenty of us who have been tempted to do so. just make sure everything is WYSIWYG, and no one can claim you a cheat or rule breaker.

Dammeron Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, the situation is that a great many Chaos players are dissatisfied with the current Chaos codicies, and feel that the Space Marine codex is simply a much more competently produced product and also provides a more feasible means of producing army lists for particular Chaos legions (e.g. the Night Lords, the Alpha Legion and the Iron Warriors).

minigun762 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'll admit I'm one of those people who would frown upon this. The Chaos codex is far from perfect but it is workable. The way I see it (just personal opinion) its players wanting to use the new SM codex with all its toys and justifying it as "count as".

ItSeWiNg Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks Guys Im Jus Gonna Use The Chaos Codex But Use Dark Angels and Chaos Models Like Im Gonna HAve a Terminator Lord Leading 2x Vet Squads Of Five But Just use the rules for chaos marines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155074-da-or-sm-codex-for-chaos/#findComment-1810115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flintlocklaser Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks Guys Im Jus Gonna Use The Chaos Codex But Use Dark Angels and Chaos Models Like Im Gonna HAve a Terminator Lord Leading 2x Vet Squads Of Five But Just use the rules for chaos marines There are no rules for Vet Squads in the Chaos 'dex, however. Do you mean a Termi Lord with 2x Chosen squads of 5 men? If not, you're talking about mixing Codicies, which almost no one except for the most tolerant of friendly groups will allow you to do. But if you just want to use the cool robed DA minis for making your Chosen, I can't imagine any problems - several people on this board have done stuff like that already.

minigun762 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 yeah there is a significant difference in my mind between using the rules from another codex and using some of the models.

(cash is the only blocker) mind you a whole buttload of the witch hunter forces make for great conversions. i've converted Celeste to a slannesh champion/lord. just wish they'd bring in some cultist rules to augment chaos then the conversions may again flourish. (the eye of terror codex was a good one) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155074-da-or-sm-codex-for-chaos/#findComment-1810148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
