Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Can't view the FAQs at work :'(. Can Techmarines repair Superheavies? I've a sneaking suspicion that they canonly repair units form thier Codexes, and as such they wouldn't be able to work on Superheavies. But I'm not sure. Basically, I'm wondering whether Techmarines could restore lost Hull Points to Warhound Titans. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well on the US website the FAQs are in polish, go figure. I dont understand polish. ... and the same on the british site. Thats darned inconvenient. Same for the ozzies and canooks. Im afraid that well have to wait tell a polish speaker comes along... wait, well, theres the GK FAQ *wich is more interesting for you in particular anyways* and it says that, in contradiction to the ruling I remember in the C:SM faq about 'allied vehicles' being unrepairable, the GK Techmarine can repair 'friendly vehicle's.

Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 LoL! I will also have to check the wording on the Iron Hands Chapter Tactics to see if that covers Superheavies as well. ;) IWND Warhound, being repaired by a Techmarine with Servo Harness and Servitors. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 SM codex says "friendly vehicle". Now, all we need to do is work out whether super heavies are Unit Type: Vehicle or not (see the Tank Hunter thread for more info). IH Chapter Tactics only apply to vehicles and characters in that detachment, so no dice there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well... and theres an argument. Is that lord of war slot part of the same detachment? It certainly looks like it would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yup, same detachment. The Lord of War FoC isn't a seperate detachment, like Codex: Inquisition. So, an IH Warhound, backed by Techmarine and Servitors is good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 For what it's worth we know that a Techmarine cannot repair a Battle Brother's tank, meaning that they can not repair a Baneblade, Titan, etc, but can it repair a Fellblade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well... and theres an argument. Is that lord of war slot part of the same detachment? It certainly looks like it would be... To me, it seems like the Lord of War is a separate, optional detachment in the same way as an Allied Detachment. Part of the same army? Yes. Same detachment? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Why would the Marine be classed as a Battle Brother to a Titan, when it's in the same detachment? Sure, if it's one of the Superheavies that requires a different PRimary detachment, but I'm not sure the Warhound states which Primary it must come from. :/ Besides, doesn't 'friendly vechicle' cover this anyway? To me, it seems like the Lord of War is a separate, optional detachment in the same way as an Allied Detachment. Part of the same army? Yes. Same detachment? No. Why the Primary detachment requirements in Escalation then, if it's a different detachment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No picking Warhounds with a Necron Primary Detachment, for example. But the phrasing in Escalation seems to indicate that the Primary is a seperate entity to the Lord of War and this would appear to be backed up by the FOC diagram, which shows Fortifications, Allied Detachments and Lords of War as being distinct from the Primary Detachment.

Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 That's true, Fortifications are seperate to your Primary and Allied detachment. You can only have one. LoW would be the same, wouldn't it? So no IH Warhound (which makes total sense), but a Techmarine would still be able to repair one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallodx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Gentlemen, you can make that tech marine join that guardsmen bubble, make that unit ATSKNF... Also I wander can a unit with multiple tech marine or MotF repair multiple times? Oh and in this case I would recommend WS ones, so they can just leave the combat and do their shooty job.

Gentlemanloser Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 They sure can! And all the Techmarines can gain the benefits form a single unit of Servitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallodx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Forget servoitors. A unit with 2 tech marines, both with harness, fix 2HP a turn on 3+, thank you. If it's iron hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallodx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 But servoitor can't join a unit I believe, considering protection for marines, guardsmen are the best. But since guardsmen are in, why take doggy anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
