midjithero Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hello All! Had a quick question about Battle Brother Allies...I know that BB can cast spells and such on their allied units(SW Rune Priest casts Prescience on Heavy Weapons Team, All Tau/Eldar psychic shtuff), but is it possible for a CCS/PCS to issue Orders to an allied unit? For example...Could I have Creed issue "Move! Move! Move!" to a squad of allied SM Centurions whom have gone to ground, allowing them to shoot normally? I was reading the section of the IG codex (pg. 29) about Orders, but it it only says, "...select a friendly non-vehicle unit within the command radius to carry out the order." Also, none of the Orders state that the targeted unit has to be an IG unit except FRF!, SRF! as that specifically states Lasguns. Anyone able to help me on this one? 1 last question :) With Orders, are you only able to issue the same Order once per turn, or can I issue "Bring It Down" to multiple squads for as many Orders that I have available. Thanks for the assistance! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280131-battle-brothers-and-ccs-orders-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argun Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It's been FAQ'd to state that orders only apply to IG. Would love to be able to order Bring it Down! to centurions, but sadly that is not the case. Link to the FAQ, it's on the second page in the Amendments: https://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3440050a_Imperial_Guard_v1.4_September_13.pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280131-battle-brothers-and-ccs-orders-question/#findComment-3460085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yeah, they changed it to "single friendly non-vehicle unit chosen from Codex: Imperial Guard". I can see why they did it -- being able to give "bring it down" to Centurions would be way too good. Also, from a fluff perspective, I don't really see Space Marines (or any other ally options) taking orders from Imperial Guard Officers. The orders are also specific to Imperial Guard training and having these things drilled into them, which again wouldn't apply to non-Guardsmen.

midjithero Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thank you for the FAQ. And ya, I do not see SM taking orders from IG either, BUUUTTT it would be pretty cool :) Guess I'll just stick to my Wolves with Guard Ally list instead of buying those darn Centurions!

*Furyou Miko Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The most annoying thing is that "from Codex: Imperial Guard" means that you can't use Orders on allied Krieg or Elysian units.
