WeWillBuryYou Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Not sure if this is the right place for this but if I include witch hunter allies in my vulkan list, do they gain his army bonuses? I'm sure its not rai, but what does raw have to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Hadafix Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 From what I have read this is dodgy ground with two camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 aye, on 1 side, you have the "it says your army and your allies are part of your army" and on the other side, they disagree and say its only for marines in the army, discuss it with your gaming group.

Roland Durendal Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 It's a pretty big loophole left over from the 3rd ED WH and DH codex, though it is primarily used with the WH codex to the cheap and prevalent meltas and flamers the sisters can get. RAW it is very shady territory, as (to summarize) the allies rule allowes you to "induct the following units into your army". By how that's written, then yes, the Salamanders special rule affects allies. Is it RAI? Heck and no, but since the WH hasn't been updated it's a lingering easily exploitable loop hole. I suspect it will go away this summer/fall when the DH and possibly WH 'dexes are redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satanaka Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The way it was explained to me when I asked the question to GW directly was. "yes, it does work." The reasoning is that Vulkan's Chapter Tactics entry is written slightly different than other characters in that same book. The key word in the entry is "army". It was explained to me that if you ally Sisters to Sallies, they then become part of your ARMY. Yes, I'll give you that particular entry is poorly written, but unfortunately, due to the way the entry is written, it does work that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Not sure if this is the right place for this but if I include witch hunter allies in my vulkan list, do they gain his army bonuses? I'm sure its not rai, but what does raw have to say? Yes it does work. ;) Enjoy the crispy :D But you may annoy people in doing it. If you are already winning with your Salamanders, I would advise you not too. They'll think you are being a jerk. However, if you play people who love hard nosed gaming, go for it. Your audience will show you whether it is "appropriate" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yes, RAW its appropriate. RAI, probly not. Will it make people annoyed with you? Probly more than me gluing my DPs shut seems to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
