Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ouch - I must admit no-one can seem to escape Lysander at the moment - He is the codex SM character that is cloned into more different incarnations than any of the others thanks to the 'generic character' waffle in the codex. Mainly because of his combo of eternal warrior/bolter drill/mega hammer. As to if he can use him, I would say it is really at the opponents discretion and depends on the situation. I'd be tempted to give him an earful about it then kick his ass anyway, but thats just me. He certainly shouldn't just expect to be able to use him in Alpha Legion... thats abit too beardy methinks. Where does it end... Broodlords in land raiders? Necron venerable dreadnoughts?

Legatus Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I assume he used Codex Space Marines for his Alpha Legion. A few chaos players are of the opinion that the Codex Space Marines is more suited to represent some of the Legions than the Codex Chaos Space Marines is... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172845-alpha-legion/#findComment-2042953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse47 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I personally think it's a crock of fertilizer. If you are going to play with the spirit of the game, you use chaos or SM or Tau or whoever. I wouldn't even consider playing someone like that again. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172845-alpha-legion/#findComment-2043007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novak Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yeah, that a bit too much of a stretch for me. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172845-alpha-legion/#findComment-2043099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarmon Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It depends... Fluff wise, the easy answer is no, that said if he model a Alpha legion character that happen to have the same abilities as him then yes. My answer would be if he us the C:SM then its all fair and above board. Hell my wolves aren't painted grey... does that mean I can't use their codex (not that I do atm, C:CSM all the way baby. I'll change when the new one arrives) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172845-alpha-legion/#findComment-2043194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I have no problem with someone using C:SM for C:Alpha Legion. Of all the old Chaos legions they are the most likely to have updated equipment and use it along codex lines *mostly*. Before your next game ask the guy wich Codex hes using- if he says C: Chaos SM then he certainly cannot have Lysander anymore than a SW player could.

dragon950 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Next time tell him that your using abaddon because you can. If he complains then tell him if he's able to take characters from different codexs then you can too. To your question thats a no.

Senseilord Ashahara Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 nah he must me using C:SM with is a proper naff method. And using lysader as a proxy Alpha Legionarie is propper cheap. As an Alpha Legion player of some years, this sort of thing makes me curse Abnett The Discord Bringer and scream "If you want to use Fallen Astartesm use their bloody codex and play in the spirit of the game!" To sum up - I wouldnt play that chap again. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/172845-alpha-legion/#findComment-2043350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar the great Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 thx guys I will remember to ask which codex he uses... we've decided to have a grimnar/lysander battle next week for a bit of fun...

LPetersson Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 we've decided to have a grimnar/lysander battle next week for a bit of fun... I hate to admit it, but my money is on Lysander for this one... And to join the chorus, as long as you knew in advance that he was using C:SM and not C:CSM then it's ok. Just imagine that they are purple marines...
