Grimtooth Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 So brothers, I am a bit confused about this specific aspect of our new codex. Let me give you a couple of examples, Combined Arms Detachement (CAD) and Wolves Unleashed Detachment (WUD): Say I take these two and make the CAD my primary by making the HQ unit in that detachment my warlord. I lose the first of the two Command Benefits of the WUD, because it is not my primary detachment, but retain the second one for units of the WUD? The same would apply to the situation if reveresed then? I would lose the first Command Benefits of the CAD, reroll warlord trait, but Objective Secured would still apply to those units from the CAD. And in turn, would be able to use both Command Benefits from the WUD. Frankly as my I am trying to absorb not only the new addition, I am now also trying to legally list build within the new edition and such. Kinda draining and figured I would post up here. I have some ideas for lists, but am still checking legality of them as well as the Command Benefits I would be losing or gaining.

Yeap, that's the crux of it; so it is entirely possible to make WUD your primary and gain the outflanking rules for the heavy hitters in your army, whilst keeping most of your troops in the CAD to give them objective secured, and vice versa.

Valerian Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 You've got it exactly right, Brother Ramses. Basically, rereading 116-122 of The Rules should make it all clear.

Grimtooth Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yea it had been a long day of messing around and was looking for confirmation on it. Army building will take a little more scutiny, but it opens up so many possibilities now that it is pretty cool. Not to mention the formations incoming with Champions of Fenris.

The hardest part will be keeping all of the Detachments/Formations straight with which units are in which. At least with CAD and Allied Detachments it is easy to know who is in what, but when you're using all Space Wolves Faction units and designating them into different Detachments, with different Command Benefits, it's going to get messy.

skeletoro Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is why I am thinking, more and more, that I will paint all my Great Wolf detachment models with Logan's marking.
