Cyber_marine13 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 So I'm new to the game and want to create my own chapter. The thing i need clarification is: can i have my chapter master count as marneus calgar even if my chapter uses the BA codex? I like the calgar model and really want to use him but I'm not sure if this would be allowed. I have been told that for tournaments it wouldn't be but it should be fine for friendly games. If anyone can answer it would really help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You may not mix codexes, it is certainly against the rules. Of course, you and your friends may change any rule you like, however you see fit, so long as you agree on the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can, by purchasing a captain with 2 powerfists, use the model. This will need to be explained to your opponent every single game however, as the idea of using C:BA for the Ultramarines is.... odd. I dont encourage you to do this, but it is certainly within the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesI Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My interpretation of the question is he wants to use the Marneus Calgar model in a BA army. as long as the Marneus Calgar model is be used as BA rules (likely a BA captain with 2 power fist) its legal.

greatcrusade08 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 can i have my chapter master count as marneus calgar even if my chapter uses the BA codex? im sure he will clarify but i see this as he wants to use a BA chapter master as a counts as Calgar... the answer is NO, you cant mix codexes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niiai Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 To help make things right: You can use him as a count as model in the BA codex who locks like hime. Perhaps with a storm bolter and a power fist, but preferably with 2 power fists. I do not know what you have in mind, but I am shure he will look great in whatever colours you decide to go for. As Grey Mage pointed out, be shure to tell your oponents. As for using the ultramarine rules from one codex and mixing it with the blood angel codex, that you cannot do. Unles you deside to houserule it. I would not ecourage this, as it is not allowed in tournaments and the codex was never playedtested that way. It might turn out to be too good. I am a fan of the model though, so go ahead. I sometimes use a modefier shriek model for a wolf lord with jump pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber_marine13 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you all for answering. Greatcrusade is correct on the interpretation of my question and I see that mixing codexes is not allowed. I'll definitely consider your suggestions on how to use a model like calgar. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 its unusual for me to be right.. so ill just take a minute, wiggle my booty and celebrate. in the mean time, if your interested in using Calgar you should visit the ultramarines sub forum. oh and welcome to the B&C.. you dont have to be crazy to play here but it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ah, I see. I was confused- theres no chapter master entry in C:BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[sarcasm]Bah, we don't need no generic Chapter Master, we can use a JP Chapter Master (Dante) or a frothing Madman Chapter Master (Gabriel Seth)[/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
