Corbulo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hey guys, As I'm sure you know this dude goes on sale this weekend and this weekend only. I just wanted to know if you can use him in a BA army? I don't see why not but wanted to see what you guys think. Corb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think there was a thread on this already, and because of his funky gun the answer was no. I will probably buy one anyway though. And will definitely be buying the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's in the "Red Marines" thread. Bottom of page 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah, I just had another look at pictures for that miniature and he has a really funky gun ... not one that could pass for a bolter at all. But with some conversion work you might be able to make it passable, inwhich case he'd just be a regular tactical marine. That said, we don't know yet whether the rules he comes with will limit him to being used in Codex: Space Marines armies only, or whether he can be used in others.

Blindhamster Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We do know. The question has been asked to the warhammer 40k page a couple times and they confirmed the rules are just for codex space marines not the other marine codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Because we aren't space marines.... Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Morning! Whilst I understand if you can't talk about the following until the weekend, an answer may put some minds at ease. Will the Imperial Space Marine be a legal choice for the Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Grey Knights and Space Wolves? Only from the rules leaked online yesterday, whilst it says you can replace a generic Space Marine in your army with this chap, this is conflicted by the Special Rules which tell you to refer to Codex Space Marines. Many people would rather not have to resort to house-rules to use the anniversary model with their army. Thanks. Hey Jolemai The Imperial Space Marines rules are designed to work with Codex: Space Marines. They don't mention any non-codex chapter. The rules are primarily designed to allow you to use this one-off piece of Warhammer 40,000 history in your games, if that means you want to paint him as a Dark Angel, Space Wolf or Blood Angel, then this is of course your hobby and you can do what you like.

SM1981 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 So basically no rules for him to use his kit as a blood angel (etc), but please feel free to buy him and paint him anyway. In all fairness this is what I will be doing. And if that means I have to field him as a proxy bolter marine (flagging it with the opponent first), and getting no special weapon rule bonuses for doing so, then that's just what I'll have to do. Not going to moan about it - I think we have all beaten the red marine vs blood angel horse to death by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Aye - people are losing their minds over his power but it's really just some silly rules for fun play. I sure as hell wouldn't mind a Wolf or either Angel using him in a squad - hell, a chaos guy can in a normal/ havoc squad. Go nuts. If he manages to disintegrate something valuable then go him, but considering he'll need a 6 to touch most things he would be worth killing it's just a bit of fun/ luck really.
