Picollus Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hi guys, Just wanted to check my interpretation of a rule. I play Codex: Space Marines army, painted up in my own scheme, with my own personal fluff to fit in with 40k canon. Anyway, the Sapphire Shields chapter are shockingly similar to the ultramarines and my scout team has a sergeant "Octavius" who follows the same rules as Sgt Telion. This is correct yes? I don't need to field an actual ultramarine army to do this do I? Thanks in advance, sorry for the silly question just looking for answers to resolve an bit of an issue with a friend...

DarkGuard Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Page 127 of the Codex. Anyone who doesn't let you use Telion because he's not painted as an Ultramarine is playing against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That used to be a rule, way back in the day. However theyve largely abolished it. During those times it was also often a requirement to ask your opponent about it before hand. Many people ignored the 'must be chapter ____' rules.

Heck there are even people that back then enjoyed that as well as custom made 'counts as character X' models. Link to comment

Beyond simple good taste of course. Link to comment
