Schertenleib Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can't find in my Codex what effect the Totem Banner has on gameplay. Is it the same as the Chapter Banner or the Company Standard?

Gyson_Vore Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Seeing as the Space Marines no longer have a 'Sacred Standard', it would have to be the Company standard, seeing as the Great Company banner is the equivilent to the Chapter banner. ++EDIT++ Or if you read in t he Sumary in the back of the codex, it says that the Wolf Totem 'Adds +1 to the combat resolution score for units within 6" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166839-wolf-totem-banner/#findComment-1965094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietrich Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Technically, it does nothing since there is no Sacred Standard. I think most people would let you treat it as a Company Banner, but you should check with them. The other option is to play it as a Sacred Standard from the 3rd/4th Edition SM codex, which just gave you +1 to combat resolution in melee (so, you'd count as doing one more wound to determine who won the fight and for the loser's leadership test).

Ragnars Claw Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I would say nothing. We can't have our cake and eat it. If we push for things that no longer have any reference to the new marine codex people will start trying to pull us up on all sorts of stuff.

Ryzouken Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 If you use the banner as a sacred standard, you oblige yourself to using Hvy3 Assault Cannons, nerfed 4++ (only in CC) Storm Shields, no Land Raider Redeemers or Ironclad Dreadnoughts, and a variety of other conceits given to us wolves by way of apology for lost wargear. I find the new armor and weapons are a lot better than +1 to combat resolution or auspexes. Don't you?

Grey Mage Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Agreed, though Ill note my gaming group is kind enough to let me field it as a company banner instead. Id never try to take it to a tournament though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166839-wolf-totem-banner/#findComment-1965238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
