Iceman575 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ah I see so a large platoon can still be split down or run as a blob - I like the flexibility there :) Still no codex in the post :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3847413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You can combine as many or few infantry squads as you like on a game by game basis, so it add some great flexibility to the platoon :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3847425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RADU LYKAN Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 if you are considering having the platoons not mob up in games then it is worth considering giving all of the squads a vox caster instead of just one for the whole platoon, this can add up to quite a few wasted points in games where you do mob up but can help against precision shots etc and keep those orders getting through Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3847439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman575 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Codex has arrived! Time for an army list! What coherency does a tank commanders unit have to be? Surely you wouldn't have 3 tanks 2" apart?

WarriorFish Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Page 79, vehicle squadrons must maintain a coherency of 4" Also take note that they can fire through each other as with models in normal squads as if they weren't there which is very useful Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3849156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman575 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ah thanks warrior nice spot :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3849276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman575 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 So I suppose each tank in the same squad has to shoot at the same target also - I neglected this so that may change my HQ tank load outs actually Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3849674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Cato Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 So I suppose each tank in the same squad has to shoot at the same target also - I neglected this so that may change my HQ tank load outs actually Tank commanders can issue three unique orders. Important here is split fire lite. So commander and his squadron mate can shoot at different targets. Any other squadrons are like you said though. Must shoot same target.

Iceman575 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ah ok still not got to that in the codex apologies - that's good news then as I doubt I'll be doing squadrons in my points range other than the compulsary hq so no worries if I've got the orders :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298527-beginner-to-40k-and-am-looking-for-advice/page/2/#findComment-3849683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The other tank commander orders are situational so you'll be issuing the split fire order all the time, if at all.
