Lord Tharand Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Simple question for the more experienced and seasoned 30k gamers. Reading through Book 2 on pg 265 that a maniple of any single type may also be taken as an elites choice for a space marine crusade legion army so long as an HQ choice is also chosen as part of that army that has a cortex controller. So my question is which Space Marine HQs are allowed to take the cortex controller? I can't seem to locate any in the book.

Emperors Teeth Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The only guy outside of specific Legion entries is the Forge Lord Consul. He can take one for 15 points, though I can't remember off hand where that is written though I know it's 100% accurate.

Atia Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yep, it was the Forge Lord (aswell as some named characters, such as Kyr Vhalen or Autek Mor) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302843-adding-castellax-battle-automata-to-army-list/#findComment-3937146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tharand Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks guys. That's going to make it harder to get into my lists unless I do an allied detachment I think.

depthcharge12 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I wish you could take a Thanatar with a cortex controller upgrade for a MotF!!! I'd have a grand ol time :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302843-adding-castellax-battle-automata-to-army-list/#findComment-3937182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 IV Legion Praetors can take a Cortex Controller tooo, IIRC... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302843-adding-castellax-battle-automata-to-army-list/#findComment-3937187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Forge Lords aren't bad HQs, to be fair. All they need on top of the controller is a power fist and refractor field and you've got yourself a kickass little budget duellist. If you're feeling fruity, add rad grenades.

Lord Tharand Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'll have to see about converting up an Iron Father to serve the XVII!

Take a Boarding Shield for the defensive grenades if you are taking the Pfist.

Raktra Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 ^ Yeah that. I forgot about that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302843-adding-castellax-battle-automata-to-army-list/#findComment-3937840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Whatever Inv. save you give the Forge Lord, get a cyber-familiar on that guy. He can take Techmarine wargear in addition to Centurion 'gear, giving you all sorts of cool options.

Lord Tharand Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Do any of you have the Chaos Warpsmith from GW and know how easily it could be converted into a 30k techmarine? He looks like he would fit the bill nicely with some modifications but I've never seen the model in person and the GW site doesn't show the sprue. Mainly I'm looking on cutting down the craziness of the servo-harness. Thanks everyone!

Raktra Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Far as I'm aware all of the tendrils are separate parts, so that could/should be an easy sort.

I'll have to pick one up and see what I can do with it.
