1Drop Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 My HG that I am making well counts as HG really my AOD, I want to write fluff for them but I want them to be a special unit that only ever accompany Dante to battle (as fluff-wise they need to use his special rules) as a sort of stealth, hit and run unit. So all I wanna know really is would it be ok to make this unit and say they are dante's own squad or something like that? I am a total novice when it comes to fluff so I thought I'd ask you guys what I can and can't do here! They are going to be a very special looking unit that I wanted to be dantes retinue anyway but I've decided from a fluff point of view I wanted to take it further in writting Dante into the fluff! I hope what I want to do is fine as I'm pretty excited about it. Also I'd like to mention that they are going to be a covert unit so not many people know about them.

shatter Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 You'll get the common answer from me here. They're your toy soldiers, do what you like. I see nothing wrong with the idea that he has a small group of like minded fellows that do the hard stuff with him but don't crow about it.

1Drop Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks man.. I just hope I don't get people saying 'you can't do that, Dante doesn't have his own unit that he has tailored for his own style of hit and run tactics' I suppose I can do whatever I like but I just don't want to upset anyone on here as what you guys think means alot to me as you are my brothers (and sister -_- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 So this is cool then, no one thinks I shouldn't be doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 rules wise- dante is an hq choice and therefore can take an hounour guard unit(which your using count as rule to your AOD) which is 100% ok. fluff wise dante is known for doing things most wouldnt. the only thing i see is your going about it the harder fluff way. wouldnt it be easier for you to do a count as dante too and be done that way? im sure theres many ways you can represent artificer armour a power weapon and an infernus, with something different for his mask rules thats still plausable... that way you dont risk anyone whos possibly a die hard 'dante is the greatest and would never act like that' person... it could happen...

Actually I did think about a counts as Dante for this purpose. But, I'm currently painting Dante and I'd like to use him! I may make a counts as Dante character too. But, I'd like to write the fluff for Dante and maybe alter it if need be and just change the name from Dante to x character. EDIT: in fact I'm starting to warm to the idea of making a counts as Dante more now, I'll have all the bits as of Monday so I may go ahead and do it. I could even run both Dante and the counts as (is that aloud?) at the same time, that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 ot using the same rules you cant as hes a special charater and therefore unique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 ot using the same rules you cant as hes a special charater and therefore unique... Yeah... I thought as much :wacko: well I love Dante and saying as I've just painted him up and he's nearly finished I think I'll just use Dante and make the unit for him like was first intended. Although, making my own counts as does seam really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 id say make a count as too. dante in his big flashy armour dosent quite seem to suit the style you intend, but im sure he can do it. so having 2 models and switchng round when you feel like it could be a nice idea.

captain Angel Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Another cool idea is to get Dante and paint him in death company colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Angel Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Who cares, it would look cool. On a serious note, None really, but if you have him in gold, paint him those colors to look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
