Emperor's Furor Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If I use Daemon as allies for my Horus Heresy Word Bearers army, do I have to use the Warp Storm Table, at the top of the page it says "If your Primary Detachment is chosen from this codex" Since they are allies do I ignore the table?

Raeven Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yes. They are your allied detachment. Your primary detachment will be the detachment with your warlord, 1HQ, and 2 troops minimum (or other if using a dataslate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysorange Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Raeven is right, only if Daemons are your primary detachements does the Warp cares about you. Also note as it is with the current Faq you can take 4 Heralds for one HQ slot in your allied detachement^^ For more summoning goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 From my experience while the warpstorm table can really jack you up, if you run mono god the odds are in your favor of it being beneficial. One of my favorite moments was fighting GK with Coteaz HQ. I went first and got the destroy enemy psyker roll while his terminators were still in reserves. It was so glorious. Even though I still lost, it felt like a win to see his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Ok that's awesome thanks, I want to use Daemonettes and Bloodletters for my allies so knowing they won't end up slaying each other is a great relief :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfhoule Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Unless it occurred in the Early / Rogue Trader period of the game, you don't have to worry about the gods' minions slaying each other on the table top. Taunting each other maybe, but out right turning on each other in game no. Though, as is mentioned in other threads, as well as above, if you should decide to expand your allies to a full fledge army of its own, the Warp Storm Table will not be as friendly when you go beyond mono-god.

That's kind of what is worrying me, I have some Khorne, I have some Slaanesh, I wanna get some nurgle next, I want a bit of each, because for the most part I'll be using them to help out my Word Bearers as either allies or daemons I can summon, but I probably will want to expand them into a fully fledged force eventually. I kind of like sturdy forces that can take punishment, so I'm leaning towards nurgle. I tried my Khorne bloodletters and herald the other day and whilst they chopped up some dark eldar, they got shot to pieces very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You will find you will get shot to pieces very easily. The trick is getting across the board with minimal causalities, because as soon as you make it into close combat it's game over for the opponent. That's why I like Slaanesh, the extra 3" in the run move can get you into cover and across the board quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Keep in mind that quad god armies have some built in warpstorm protection if units tend to be given the icon or the instrument, I cannot remember which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
