skeletoro Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So, I don't yet know what's in the supplement (7 formations, new relics, warlord traits, etc, but as to the specifics, no idea) but I suspect we will see some juicy options. Anyway, I had always had plans to collect models from more than one great company. So far it has been Bran Redmaw's, but I was thinking I'd get some thunderwolves from Harald, wolf guard from krom and/or Logan, etc. And then occasionally play a Logan wing list, using wolf guard representatives from several great companies. After all, I found it a little implausible that Logan would have dozens upon dozens of wolf guard in his own great company. Maybe 20, 25, sure. He has a great many wolf guard (as does Krom, and presumably Harald, given that TWC are WG) but many doesn't mean 40+, I don't think. And even though 20-25 might be enough for a Logan wing list at 2k, it still seems a tad more likely he'd be leading champions/representatives of several great companies, perhaps as an elite strike force in the context of a larger engagement featuring two or more great companies in their entirety. Anyway, so that was how I planned on doing a Logan wing with the old dex. Never actually got around to it sadly! So now it looks likely the supplement will have special rules for Logan's GC, as we've seen with Sentinels of Terra and Clan Raukaan. For example, it's possible that wolf guard terminators will be available as troops choices for COF. Or something. Thus stuff tends to be tied to the identity of your force and is essentially an 'alternative' to vanilla wolves. Sentinels get close bolter drill but lose regular bolter drill. It's not dependent on having a specific special character or detachment - if you're playing fists, you can choose to have them use the sentinels rules or not. Anyway, long winded. sorry. My question is this: do you all think it's fine to use the CoF rules for a detachment with models painted as a different GC? Further, could a CoF (assuming that the supplement doesn't explicitly allow or disallow this and that it works more or less like SoT or CR supplements) detachment have special characters drawn from a different great company? Very hypothetical, I know, but it's something I'm mulling over even though we'll likely see leaks over the weekend. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294787-using-champions-of-fenris-for-other-great-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The cold, hard fact is that I would guess that the writers would prefer one uses the Logan GC rules for Logan. That said, the other standing rule of WH40K is so long as you and your opponent can agree on the forces being played, mission type, etc., go for it. If you can cook up something meaningful as to another Great Wolf in another time section of the SW Chapter History, or, some subsection of the Champions of Fenris that is under temporary command by another WL, or just don't feel like being stuck playing Logan, it never hurts to ask your opponent. Just don't expect them to also pass up the chance to play their force at their best, as some might not quite like the idea. I figure it's a more feel the opposing player out on the issue, and just try to have fun, so long as it is not at their expense.

Valerian Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 My question is this: do you all think it's fine to use the CoF rules for a detachment with models painted as a different GC? Absolutely. Further, could a CoF (assuming that the supplement doesn't explicitly allow or disallow this and that it works more or less like SoT or CR supplements) detachment have special characters drawn from a different great company? Have to wait for the supplement to know for sure.

Squark Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Be aware it is highly likely That Harald, Canis, Ragnar, Krom, and Bran (perhaps not even generic wolf lords) will not be available in whatever detachments or formations are in the supplement, though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294787-using-champions-of-fenris-for-other-great-company/#findComment-3770188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeletoro Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can a player field two imperial fists detachments and have just one of them use the sentinels of terra supplement?

Squark Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can a player field two imperial fists detachments and have just one of them use the sentinels of terra supplement? Eeyup. Just as you can mix Orks and ghazzgkull's great waagh formation.

skeletoro Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 ok so given that mixing SWU and CAD seems like a good idea, it may be worthwhile to mix Logan's GC with <insert GC here> with a different detachment for each (and mixed detachment types).
