Tonoshi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 We had a Team Tournament at our LGS this weekend and an interesting ruling came up during our game. The TO ruled that the Kustom Forcefield worked for all units within 6" of the Mek Boy (friend and foe, ruled by the TO). It really didn't come into play too often, but it could have changed the results. I believe we were using the Team rules from Adepticon. I'm pretty sure I read that you couldn't benefit from your teammate's rules unless it was the same codex being used (ex: Codex:BT & Codex:BT). Any thoughts on this ruling?

Grey Mage Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It says "any unit" it doesnt specify friend or foe. Despite its counter-intuitive nature, the TO was using RAW.

BlackSpike Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 GW FAQ says that "any unit" does not include enemy units, unless specified. As to 'allied' units, in 2vs2 games it is a grey area.

This is exactly what I was trying to find. I'm pretty sure the event's rules mentioned not being able to use each others' wargear and special rules unless it was the same codex. It was a rather silly team to play against since the teams were supposed to make sense and they had Orkz and Tyranids, but thats a whole different argument. Thanks for the replies Grey Mage and Blackspike.

JamesI Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yep, by the GW FAQ nothing effects enemy units unless is specifically says it does. I would rule against the custom force field bonus for the allies as well.

Ntin Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 This is one of those rule queries that does not have an answer. The game was not intended to play more than two players so you would need to come up with a house rule on how allies interact with one another. Otherwise you can have Terminators riding in Ork Battle Wagons or Bloodcrushers of Khorne hopping in a Wave Serpent.
