Actually, It states in the explination of the formation entries that all units must be drawn from the same codex unless otherwise spesified, as with the super heavy spearhead. It us there to make sure you can't feild a super heavy unless you are willing to take a pen hit when arrives.

-Up to three vehicle units with a transport capacity.

 

The StormLord has

 

 

 

-For each vehicle taken, you must take one unit of

any type, from one or more entries in the army

list, that can transported in a vehicle.

 

Ie My Squads

 

-Unless stated otherwise, all of the units in a spearhead

must be chosen from the same entry in the army list,

though they may take different options and upgrades.

 

All Units the men inside are from the blood Angels and the stormlord the Apocalypse book, Space marine (Blood Angels ) can use forces of the Imperium, they just say im having that .

This spearhead was checked by GW staff in the Dudly Merry Hill and have played the manager there with it .

Sharing it all with you so to share the fun with Blood Angle players,

And give the rest something else to moan at lol

I hate to do this but I am going to start splitting hairs now. My group is very casual and a great deal of the time we simply let rule violations slide in our games with kind reminders to so that the game doesn't stop and the fun isn't sucked out of it.

 

But for the sake of argument.

 

As you quoted, the spear head lets you choose a Unit Entry

 

The storm lord is chosen from a Data Sheet

 

Yes, you said that the GW people checked it, but it is still technically against the rules if you follow your same logic. It would completely destroy the point of the super heavy spearhead, and just make the Spearhead expansion an addition to Apyoc, not 40k. Furthermore, following your same logic, you could field 3 Baneblades and give them all infiltrate and stealth.

 

If I played against you, it would be this type of play that might make me never play against you again.

 

Once again, not trying to be rude, but this is still cheating.

Its probably against the rules TBH. The APOC book allows you to mix armies - I don't recal any Codecii allowing you do likewise... I think the Armies of teh Imperium ruling is really an APOC only thing - spearhead is e.g. Imp Guard tanks and Imp Guard Super Heavies with Imp Guard support. A Storm Lord is an Imp Guard tank and I wouldn't allow BA to ride inside one TBH unless they get in and are part of a seperate group (i.e. non-spearhead) whilst you use teh Super Heavy spearhead to field it....

Well first I think it is not legal... the BBB defines what a vehicle is and a Super-heavy is not one of those things... the APOC book (and some others) define super-heavies as a totally new catagory with its own damage charts and so on... Yes a super-heavy vehicle is a 'vehicle' but it is not a vehicle by the definitions laid down in the rules and that is what matters.

 

On your line of thought I can use super-heavy tanks as tanks... which means I can use baneblades in say an armoured formation... which you cannot... as for having no friends that isn't even that impressive...

 

I take a reaver titan for less points and I reckon it would win... I'm assuming I can reserve as normal... so I will sit in reserve... just in case you out flank... so basically I get to shoot first... turbo lasers... and vortex missile... one turbo-laser blats mephiston... dead ^_^ Vortex missile storm lord which might kill it by itself... if not blat with other turbo laser anyway... Storm lord may well be dead if not all it can do is take my shields down... heavy bolters can't do anything... plasma cannons wont hurt unless they can get AV13 (or my shields are still up) or less and even then unlikely... missile launchers will have a tough time against my front... lascannons might do something same with meltas if within 12.... then your infantry gets blated by turbo lasers next turn...

the differance is the same ,

 

All other spearheads state tanks , walkers , skimmers ,

 

The storm lord is a super heavy tank but it is a vehicle thats how it can be used in mech assult i see Hemal`s point off starting out and getting in but, some people just like crying like babies as per the above enough said. !

Look, the long and short of it boils down to this:

 

Are you using it as an expansion to 40k or apocalypse?

 

You cannot choose from the Imperial forces or from the apocalypse data sheets in a standard game, and that was the whole reason for the super heavy spearhead, to let you get a super heavy but with a chance that it will blow up in your face. apocalypse games are played above 3000pts, so stop trying to justify this, it is a cheat.

 

and yes, super heavy tanks are a category all their own.

LoD, enough about people crying like babies. No one has been inappropriate in their responses to you.

 

As for the legality of this, my instinct (as an admitted non-expert in Spearhead) is that its not legal. To take a super heavy you need the super heavy spearhead, not mech assault.
