Sanguine_Blood Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just a question on fluff. Don't the skitarri, or maybe it's the AdMech in general, but don't they dislike the Blood Angels for stealing the over-charged engine schematics? I want to run AdMech allies, but just don't know how well it will be welcomed as its against fluff. Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It's not that the Blood Angels stole the schematics for the overcharged engine - it's that they have somehow come across the knowledge and have resisted sharing this with the Mechanicum. The last bit of fluff I read on the matter described the situation as 'strained' between the Mechanicum and Blood Angels, but not hostile. The issue is political and they continue to work together despite this, albeit with reduced trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine_Blood Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 So fluff crazies wouldn't criticize my taking a list of both Angels and AdMech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I wouldn't let them if I were you, Space Marines can ally with Eldar these days - Blood Angels + AdMech is no big deal. I'll be allying some Skitarii with my BA ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 So fluff crazies wouldn't criticize my taking a list of both Angels and AdMech? It's your army. If the only thing someone can criticise you on is some fluff then you've already won that battle and besides, it's often overlooked that Dante sent Mars an Imperator Titan gift-wrapped. Perhaps they are assisting to say thanks, or with some other goal. Or perhaps your forces are being assisted by a different Forge world, one who whilst descended from Mars doesn't hold the same grudges? Each Forge world is unique after all.

Karhedron Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I would imagine that relations have improved slightly with the advent of the new codex as Blood Angels are no longer dropping their Land Raiders from T-Hawks and invalidating the warranty.

Jolemai Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Apparently, that was written into the fine print... who knew? As far as I'm concerned, it they want people to adhere to instructions they should put it in Gothic and not Binary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hello, fellow brothers! According to the current dex, all techmarines are trained on Mars by the AdMech. I think we should feel free bringing skitarii allies. Captain Obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If it was a big issue, they'd make a point of it in the Skitaari Dex. It's not so feel free to take some excellent allies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine_Blood Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 You think it would be more normal for one of our techmarines to be in a force that would include skitarii? My meta consists of more fluffy players than waac players. And that's kinda the reason I made this topic, so I could stay in tune with the fluff, which I am not a huge follower of.

Spagunk Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just sayin' but the Skitarii could easily be mistaken for Baalite tribesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Seems to me like the Ad Mech would want to send some oftheir people round to shadow the BA and try and get a glimpse of the inside of a Baal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 ^ what Xenith said. They'd be likely to help you, because if they played it right, they might be able to salvage and study what they were denied. They accidentally be a little late, or might just barely miss that important shot that would have saved a unit, but hey, they are there! You can even play that in when you roll bad. "Look, it's not that they can't hit, it's just that they aren't trying to." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
