Onnotangu Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 after rereading my Imperial Armor 2 Book I noticed something. on page 201 there are options for taking the variant tanks in a inducted guard army. IA2: salamander cyclops Vanquisher Conqueror Exterminator Executioner Thunderer Medusa Lighting Thunderbolt Vulture IG: LRBT demolisher eradicator executioner exterminator punisher vanquisher medusa the quote is as follows: "full rules for these vehicles can be found in imperial armour volume 1." I am fully aware of the downsides of taking said tanks in Combined force either composed of IG with allied Witch hunters or Witch hunter with allied IG. I am Also aware of the downsides in taking said tanks mainly being that I will have to use the IA1 rules for said tanks which upon reading are still quite formidable on the table. There are sufficient precedent for using the above listed variant tanks at your local store with said pointed out rules. As for tourneys, I don't play them. Letting your opponent know before hand that is just common courtesy. I feel that these books might point towards a simple response of complaint about which variant LR tank one may field with inducted guard. Post edited for clarity and to soothe the nitpickers. consider the original post a burst of joy.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Only the variants listed there may be taken. None of the new ones exclusive to the IG codex are allowed (because they're not in IA2).

Onnotangu Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 you might want to re-read the Ig codex. same tanks are in the IG codex now. IA2: salamander cyclops Vanquisher Conqueror Exterminator Executioner Thunderer Medusa Lighting Thunderbolt Vulture IG: LRBT demolisher eradicator executioner exterminator punisher vanquisher medusa the quote is as follows: "full rules for these vehicles can be found in imperial armour volume 1." enough choices to take.

Grand Master Tyrak Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You mentioned a Punisher in your original post. The Leman Russ Punisher does not exist in IA 1 or IA 2, ergo you cannot use it as an allied unit under the rules in IA 2. Same goes for the Eradicator.

Melissia Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Even if you do, uyou have to use the IA2 version of the tank. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169607-oh-boy-the-witchunter-just-got-better/#findComment-2002419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Mos Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 No more complains of why there is an exterminator or possibly a punisher in my witch hunter's force. You think Imperial Armour will cause less complaints? Just ally your WH to your IG...

The Leman Russ Punisher does not exist in IA 1 or IA 2, ergo you cannot use it as an allied unit under the rules in IA 2. Same goes for the Eradicator. I have both IG and Witchhunter forces. It can swing both ways. These are merely possibilities, not certainties Hence the use of the word: possible.

Eltnot Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'll be more interested when Forge World updates the rules for IA1 like they did for IA2. Then it'll be worthwhile.
