Meatcaber Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi all, Question is in the title, really. Is it legal to combine these two Detachments? I read over the relevant rulebook section but couldn't see anything definitive telling me I couldn't, but it is entirely likely and likely plausible that I missed something! Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 You can have a BSF Detachment aand a CAD detachment in your army. Units in the BSF will haveRed Thirst and units in the CAD will have Objective Secured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Troops in the CAD will have ObSec. You can have any number of (different) detachments in your army. If points allowed you could even have an allied detachment and a company of the Great wolf detachment and any formation you like in your army in addition to the BSF and the CAD. or multiples of each.

Meatcaber Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you both for the responses. I see what I have done, lol. I meant could I take a BSF detachment and a FTSF detachment in the same army, and I was also going to ask if I could indeed take multiples of the same detachment (BSF) in the same army as well. I like the BSF formation but it's Fast Attack allowance isn't enough for what I want to field in my armies, and I wasn't entirely sure how the CAD's/formation/detachment things works. Thinking 2 BSF or BSF and FTSF will allow me to take the things that I want, just had to make sure combining them was legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 You can take as many detachments as you have points and minimum unit requirements for. That includes formations, too. So you could have a CAD and a BSF and an Allied Detachment, or Two CAD and a FTSF, or three FTSF and an Inquisitorial Detachment, or any combination therein.

Meatcaber Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks for clearing that up everyone :D That's kind of awesome you can do that. I've got several ideas of what I want to do combining the different CAD's from C:BA. And having a 'normal' CAD for ObSec also gives the player lots of flexibility as well... It's all a bit confusing but once you wrap your brain around it it does give the player lots of options for army building! Cheers very much, gents!

Karhedron Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 A Battle-forged army can be made up of any number of Detachments and/or Formations. Just remember that any bonuses only apply to the units from their own formation. For example, if you have a BSF + CAD, only the Troops in the CAD gain ObjSec and only the units in the BSF gain Red Thirst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
