Vivster Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hey guys, I really want Cassius in my army but since he is Ultramarine and mine army is not. I have a few problems. I am wondering what to do about his knee pad and left shoulder pad since they have the ultramarine symbol on them. I was going to give him a helmet to make him still cassius but fighting for my army. Can i even use him in my non-ultramarine army? Thanks, Vivster Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswanick Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Can i even use him in my non-ultramarine army? Not unless you can create a valid list for your army by using Codex: Space Marines. So, what army do you play? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 if your using the codex space marines you can indeed use a "counts as cassius".. your only using the rules, not the actual character. in terms of the model, short of shaving off ultramarine bits, theres not alot you can do, you could however use a different chaplain model, as long as its WYSIWYG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Deceit Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That's what I would do, file the Ultramarines symbol off and paint on a better one. (Or green stuff one if your ambitious) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

J!MM!L!C!OUS Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just clip and shave off the U symbols. Thats what I did ages ago for my 'counts as' Sgt Telion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 do you use c:sm? As long as you use that rule set rather than, say c:ba or c:sw, you are fine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 You can use Cassius in any C:SM army. Just mention to people what that your Chaplain model counts as him, give him a different name etc. Also, a WYSIWYG model is always helpful. I have a Chaplain model made up with a combi-flamer, crozius and bolt pistol that I can use as Cassius. Haven't quite got round to using him yet, but I know he'll be fine.

Ran Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just take a regular unmarked Chaplain and name him Brassius, using the same rules PS: people will only allow this if you let the name end in -assius.

Bannus Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Since the obvious answer has been provided (yes, you may use Cassius in a non-Ultramarine army prodided you are using the Space Marine Codex) and we are now moving onto how to model him, I'm sending this over to PC&A.

Vivster Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Thanks bannus. I was thinking of attaching part of a flamer to the bottom of that chaplains bolt pistol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254269-question-about-cassius/#findComment-3087993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montuhotep Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 That would work - or perhaps, since he is Finecast, remove said pistol and put a combi-weapon in it's place. Easy enough to do.
