d@n Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I want to take demons as allies. in the demon codex it just says something along the lines of any unit that deep strikes 6" from a chaos icon dosnt scatter. now my question is this only chaos demon icon or do csm icons count aswell? i would love to do the old demon bomb tactic with my word bearers arm.

Seahawk Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yep. Page 73 – Daemonic Gifts, Chaos Icon.Change the second paragraph to read “When a friendly unit chosen from Codex: Chaos Daemons Deep Strikes within 6" of an Icon of Chaos, it does not roll for scatter, provided that the icon was on the table from the beginning of the turn and has not arrived from Reserve in the same turn.” Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263517-demon-allies/#findComment-3210515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verythrax Draconis Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 It doesn't really clarify this IMO, Seahawk. The unit deepstriking needs to be from the C:CD, but it doesn't say from where the icon must be.

Seahawk Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Of course not, it simply is a correction to the OP's knowledge of the item. And I corrected myself after looking at C:CSM. Chaos Icons are Icons of Chaos in both books, and so C:D units can home in on C:CSM icons. However, C:CSM units cannot home in on C:D icons.

Sception Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The quoted rules is the rules text of a specific piece of wargear, not general army rules. I'm pretty sure it only applies to that piece of wargear, not to any other wargear that might share a similar name from some other codex. Much to my chagrin, GW seems intent on preventing any sort of direct synergy between codeces. While the situation is vague enough that you could make an argument, I'm pretty sure it won't be staying that way for long.
