Chefzilla Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 As many of you know, I run an armor heavy list so when I saw the Armored Battle Group list I got very excited. There are some really fantastic additions. Stuff that really makes sense. Like being able to have Veteran Tanks, tanks as troop choices and the tank special gear is awesome. My question is can you take a hybrid list. I want to run Pask and a Punisher but that's not an option under ABG. As well some other stuff. I think a lot of this stems from AM being in 7th edition and Imperial Armor still is based off of 6th? When using Army Builder, ABG is there but neither the Punisher nor Pask are an option. Can I take some of the tank rules from ABG and run it with 7th edition? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303082-rules-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoqqu Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Yes, but you have use unbound, unless you take 1 troop (veteran squad in chimera?) and run AM as ally to your ABG main detachment.

WarriorFish Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thoqqu has the right of it :) In 7th there's always the option to go unbound meaning you can build an army of whatever you like if you wish. Keep in mind that this won't change rules and how they work with regards to codices etc, for example a CCS would still only be able to order infantry units from the Guard codex.

hendrik Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 you're using outdated rules for the armoured battalion as the "new" imperial armour second edition has all the leman russ variants in it as troop choices. the army list also doesn't include any veteran tanks, unless you mean commisar tanks. it's a fun list to play but with the new imperial guard codex a lot of the armoured battalion tanks look rather costly. The biggest benefit the armoured battalion has are IMO beast hunter shells as optional for a vanquisher command tank. It's a shame these weren't included in the normal dex since it would help out the vanquisher a lot!

Chefzilla Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 The beasthunter shells, Veteran crews, armored skirts and the anti grenade mesh are the big ones that I want to use.

CyderPirate Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 @ Simison: It's the army list in the back of Imperial Armour 1 Volume II (this one) Let's you take Russes as troops and includes lots of cool toys for the treadheads.
