Using 30K in 40K

I wouldn't care either tbh 30k has some really cool rules like wb being able to take psyker Chaplin's (why gw never gave apostles the option to be a psyker I'll never understand)

You may want to check that. I'm pretty sure you can't as a Centurion can only be upgraded to one type of Consul.

I think he's referring to the Diabolist in general.

Fair enough.

 

Yeah I was referring to diabolists lol

Fair play. I get tunnel vision to look at certain Legions so skipped the WB stuff ;)
from an EC? Whoa. Score points on irony of the open minded having tunnel vision. :P

 

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Please don't hit me with the Modhammer!

Not at all ;)

Burning Lore is a really cool upgrade for WB characters. Lvl 1 psyker with access to Bio or Telepathy. I wonder if they intend for them to also gain access to Malefic?

 

I really like the idea of simply allowing them to ally as BB. I would really like to use the FW list as the basis for my WB (basic marines who don't suck would be nice in a Chaos Space Marine list), but I'm hesitant on giving up cultists and daemon engines, since they are what kinda puts the Chaos into Chaos Space Marines. If they can ally I could simply include a small detachment from the CSM codex for flavour, while having the main army be from the Crusade list.

 

Of course, I could just play the Crusade list and ally Daemons to my WB and not need to house-rule a single thing.

If you just play a corrupted WB 30k list in 40k I don't reckon there will be much protesting.

However if you mix and match 30k and 40k units I might see how some people might find that questionable.

 

Personally I wouldn't object as long as you and me both found a good fluff reason for the upcoming battle. That's always important too me.

 

  Yeah, I think this is a good summation for me. I would like to play my Thousand Sons as a 30K army list, representing a scouring era force as I don't go in much for the daemon engines/Oblit vibe that much (although variety is nice).

 

  From what I've seen the 30k list is relatively balanced with 40k around the 2000 mark, more than that and the HH Lords of War can be challenging, less than that and a 30k army is spending so much on troops/initial squads that 40k has a distinct edge. The balance is certainly no worse than in between the 40k codexes, and probably better than the outliers like Eldar etc.

Some of my most enjoyable games have been against 30k armies with primarchs. Since - as far as I have seen - 30k will commonly field walls of bodies, my armored spearheads excel. Driving forward, plowing demolishers into the tightly packed marines, then following up with a chosen-star is fantastic. Yet, I could still lose horribly if I assault in the wrong spot or let the primarch assault me. 

 

It is so exciting!
