hazard5259 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Okay so based off of the top line of the 6th edition character update from forge world, I take it that I should be able to take him in my normal , tournament army that allows be to bring forge world models, but I want to get a second opinion. Here is the link to the PDF File http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/c/Characters.pdf Please help. I'd like to know that I was right before I start fielding him in practice and look to either purchase a model of him, or start to buy things to build my on version of him.

Deadman Wade Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Check IA Apocalypse (2013) for his latest rules. Now he has the same "Plague Zombies" rule as Tyhus as well as Champion of Chaos and Veterans of the Long War, and he has different psychic powers.

Castellan Cato Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 He also doesn't have a "40K approved logo" in that book. So someone who wants to hardline the rules mights say you can't play him. Personally I think its just an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Does strike me as more of an oversight than anything else. And giving him typhus's plague zombie rule is a short cut that also can run into problems with rules lawyers, as that rule allows you to upgrade cultists to plague zombies in detachments 'that include Typhus'. Again, though, the intent seems clear, so it shouldn't be a problem for regular games. I'm curious to hear if anybody has actually used this guy, though, either as part of a zombie horde or in a more typical CSM list, and for those who have, how well did he work for you?

Aragantes Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Actually, at the beginning of the Vraks section (page 147 IA: Appocalypse) it states that; 'Note that all these rules, assets, and missions are intended to be used in Apocalypse games set as part of the Vraks wars, and may not be balanced outside of that area.' So to me that screams 'opponents permission needed.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kallozar Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 forgive me for being naïve, so what exactly is necrosius' current and up to date rules and stats now then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 for that, you need to download this pdf update: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/c/Characters.pdf he's the 3rd page in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragantes Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I just cross referenced the PDF to my IA: Apoc book, and he is exactly the same as he appears there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 and since the pdf states he's an HQ for any chaos marines army, you can use him in normal games. you wont have to worry about seeing the stamp or not on him either; they're releasing a second edition version of the siege of vraks this year, so they'll have all the stamps soon enough.
