lunchb0x Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 do we still need to follow the rules regarding our use of Special Characters? ie 1 X in a 2k army? If not where is this corrected in an FAQ or rule? I cant seem to find it anywhere....

OnlyInDeath Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 If memory serves, you can use as many as you want, you jut have to follow the point minimum and you have to have an agreement beforehand that special chars are ok to use.

lunchb0x Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 I am trying to ask if we need to follow the POINT setup for the characters....the other armies dont need to do it...do we still have to ?

Skambankt Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes you do. One HQ pr. 750pts rounding fractions up. You can't have more, you can't have less. It might be a bit irritating at times, but on the plus side, WGBLs are relatively inexpensive, and Ven.Dreads can be a HQ choice. EDIT: If you mean named characters like Logan or Ragnar, the faq has not changed the rule as to when you can use them as far as I understand it, which means that Ragnar only can be used in a 1500p or greater army, and that Logan sits on the sideline untill you field 2000p. I might be wrong here, but that's how I read it. I guess that also means that you have to ask permission from your opponent to use them, but as other chapters don't have to ask about their characters any more, this rule is kind of pointless IMO. a player fielding Marneus Calgar that refuses you to use Ulric the Slayer isn't worth playing with. Once you reach the point requirement for fielding the characters, you can field as many as you like, as long as it is no more or less than one pr 750pts. Hope that helps you.

muzzyman1981 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Welcome to the wonderful world of having a 3rd Edition codex =P In the next version it will most likely go away but until then.....=D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161899-special-characters/#findComment-1902066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Yes the Special Characters take up HQ slots, so you have to have an open slot for them to take same as any other HQ. On top of that you have to meet the point requirements of the characters themselves, and its entirely possible to interpret the codex that you can have Ragnar OR Grimnar, but not both as they are both wolf lords. EDIT: You dont have to ask permission anymore, its in the BRB.

muzzyman1981 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Well I might argue that Grimnar is the Great Wolf (i.e. Chapter Master) and while technically a Wolf Lord also is above just a regular Wolf Lord so could be taken in the same game as Ragnar, although who would use up that amount of points outside of an Apoc game.....

You sir are the only one that came close to answering the question I fielded. Thank you.

No argue here the rules for both state that they are the armies Wolflords when taken.

Vassakov Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 As per C:SW it's one or the other, though frankly they are sub par at best in most battles due to points costs. Save them for Apocalypse, it's where Special Characters are best.
