Tro_lee boy Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I am just thinking about the possibility of fielding vanilla marine units (eg, ironclads, thunderfire cannon or even special characters) alongside a blood angels army. I don't really know how that would work or if I would have to use my BA as count as vanilla. What are your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well, the standard answer is that you can't mix and match two different Codices together. Use only one at a time. But (there's always a but) if your opponent is okay with it, why not. Be prepared to get a lot of declining answers from people you don't know though, since our Codex is considered one of the stronger Codices around.

matchbox Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i would have no problem with it and at my Local GC there would not be a problem with it. It's up to personal choice though. Be prepared for people saying no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Since the mixture of two codecies is obviously going to allow for a competative advantage, I'd offer my opponent extra points for his army, or start them off with a victory points advantage.

Brother Nathan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 perdo alongside ba stenguard would be a bit much. we cant take their special charactes for good reason. id have no problem with thunderfires, dont see why youd want iron clads when we have furiso dread...?

Wysten Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 The answer is generally no. You would probably have to use BA or Space Marines, not both. In fun games you could but only if you had the promission of the oppoment and allowed him some exceptions, but it's not standard for lists to do so. The only lists that still can is Witchhunters I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tro_lee boy Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Thanks for the input. On the same topic, would it be legal to paint up a squad, with each marine being from a different chapter. I think it would look really cool and would be fun to paint. Any suggestions on which 10 chapters to use. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent point. Otherwize if you find people to play that style (which is deff not unheard of) I would rock out those thunderfire Cannons. IMO Using the Vanilla "Special Characters" would be a bit too much. I played that way with an ally and he used the character that grants twin linked to all meltaguns and flamers.. Needles to say with all my Assault squads using assault weapons it was pretty lethal. Popped tanks like crazy with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 on the 10 mansquad, sure. id vote founding chapters or rare chapters. and as long as they form a legal squad from the codex you do decide to use then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Run them as Sternguard (assuming you use the BA or vanilla codex), claim to be a Deathwatch squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Run them as Sternguard (assuming you use the BA or vanilla codex), claim to be a Deathwatch squad. Idea? Stolen. It could even be a gift to the players in my Deathwatch campaign, once it gets started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
