Ragnar the great Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 brother my question is simple, as some of you are aware I also have a DA army (building in progress and for my friends benefit). Can I combine the 2 armies to push up my numbers if I need to say have a 2000/3000 pt battle. from my understanding I can if I am fighting a chaos/xneos army is that correct? what if I am fighting another SM army ? do i then only use 1 chapter against other imperial forces? or both? why I ask this is because the chap i beat the other day yesterday combined a templar/IG army and tried to use a 'valkryie' untill others who were not playing told him that he could not do that... (god i'm new and trying to work out all these differant rules will drive me mad, I feel the beast starting to take hold...). my army is mainly infantry based 1 pred/2 dreds/2 rhinos is all i have for armour (altought I just recived a LR which I won on ebay £14) i would rather play infantry games just to get used to the rules, but poeple keep pulling out armour on me and I only have 1 LF squad... any help and I will by u all a beer in the fang... (so long as that bloody sven is not around, drinks like a whale). also can I equip scouts with a las cannon? thx Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172442-swda-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 In a friendly game there should be no real problem. Against more competetive/ background obsessive people then there may be issues. An old rule (I think) used to be that a champion from each side would duel to see who had control of the strike force. And in games of 3000+ points then it's normally considered that multiple detachments can be taken. I'd have no problem playing against a list like that. The one thing I would suggest though to represent two forces combining might is that each has to take 1 HQ and two troops choices. Scouts with a lascannon? No way. The closest thing to it is sticking a WGBL with lascannon in the squad.

Ragnar the great Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 thx all i do is play friendly games but my god some of these people it's a case of life or death. I'm not even thinking about touri's some of the guys I know at the shop have been playing this for 20 years... I was thinking about a LoTR army also an epic battle fleet now I will stop! till I get better playing this (understanding the rules). Russ sometimes I think I bit of more than I can chew...(it's that bloody sven eats and drinks too much). ah do u think we may get a 'sven' charater in the new codex? would be nice... (although he would be running around the field intoxicated....)

Hfran Morkai Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Well I'd like to see a host of new characters. I could imagine Sven as a Grey Hunter Pack Leader with some nifty rules. I have a feeling I may have bid on the same Land Raider but I had to pull out as my paypal account died. Lucky person. Now I've got to find three more.

Ragnar the great Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 this is my combines armour nothing more.. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/wolfarmour.jpg this all i have too battle any one with tanks etc.. (the rhino will shortly be outfitted with razor back conversion from forge world) http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff123/emphand1/wolflandraider.jpg this chap was the gold model displayed on ebay... i've also ordered brase emblems from forge world to apply to this model and the dreads/pred. u can see the gold still but the crevices are hard to clean up, i used 1 part nail varnish remover to 5 pts water and rubed it down with a spounge too remove most of the gold, i then sprayed it with matt black and then matt varnish (so i could handle it with out the paint coming off). I will use a wash on this madel to reduse paint application, and hopefully retain features.... anyone with other suggestions plz respond.

Ragnar the great Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 im going to start of with a fenris grey wash, may take 1/2 coats, then a dry brush with space wolve grey to heightlight/shadow and then touch up the other bits after this is done.. as i said i've ordered some braze emblems from forge world, this will be hard as metal painting can be difficult, although I now clean/base/varnish (and repeat if I have too)I found this the best way to stop paint flaking off metal models.. again any painting suggestions much appricated brothers...
