Jsmarriner Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 To make sure I understand correctly, even if i get an opponent who would let me use something from the Imperial Armor books, I cant use a Chapalin Dreadnought because it is only for IA marines, Black templars and Dark Angels. CRAP CRAP CRAP. I really liked the idea of converting a Dread into Chaplain. But I am not going to bother if i cant use it as a Chaplin. I mean yeah, I guess I COULD make it and paint it as a Chaplain and use it either as a Venerable or a DC Dread. But I was going to go all out with Green Stuff and really trick it out. Like sculpt a really big crozius arcanum for a DCCW, do up some special shin guards, all kinds of good stuff. But Noooo we cant have one. Ok I am done having my little tantrum. We now return you to your regularly schedualed thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If your opponent is giving you permission to play using stuff that isn't in your codex in the first place, just ask them if you can use the Chaplain Dreadnought. It's not like they are good anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah I highly doubt your opponent would let you use IA and then be a stickler on what army you use it with. That's like letting someone sleep with your wife then getting mad that he didn't make the bed afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Heretic Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah I highly doubt your opponent would let you use IA and then be a stickler on what army you use it with. That's like letting someone sleep with your wife then getting mad that he didn't make the bed afterwards... Say what??! The IA are official rules, so no reason not to use them, but no reason to break those rules either. - On the 'Noughty Chappie thingy, then why don't you build it, as you say, you can always use it as a venerable, no reason to hold back on the cool stuff, just because you won't get spezhul rulz :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 IA rules are often looked at askance because not everyone has access to them and because they are "nonstandard." Technically they are legal to use in games, since FW is a subdivision of parent company, but in friendly games whether or not something is "technically" legal is less important than whether or not your opponent will agree to play with it. Given that the Chaplain Dread not being available to the most Chaplain-heavy of the official chapters is sort of an odd thing, I don't think most people will have any problem with allowing you to use it. If they do, there's a good chance they're kinda a tool anyways, since it's not actually very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmarriner Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 I still have the bitz I was going to use to make the Chaplain but decided to make the Librarian Dread. Somehow the idea of a flying Dread makes me smile. I didnt do any conversions on it, it is just going to be a straight out of the box Librarian Dreadnought.

SamaNagol Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 IA are not official rules, they are an optional subset of rules provided by a different body. You may use them in friendly games, but don't hold out any hope of going to your local GT with IA units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
