Gentlemanloser Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Normally, you can only take relics from the faction of your warlord. Buy the DG FAQ clarifies that for example if you have a Chaos Marine Warlord, but also a detachment of DG, you can use the DG Strategum that grants extra Relics to give the DG thier relics. Could be useful for us. Especially if you take Bobby G for his CP Warlord trait. Use 1 or all 3 of the bonus CP he gives to gain GK Relics...

Mr. Shine Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I don't think that would work. Relics of the Chapter only lets you take additional 'Chapter Relics' (i.e. those from Codex: Space Marines) and they can only be given to a 'Space Marines CHARACTER', so I don't think any Grey Knights units would be able to be beneficiaries of that. Several of the Codex: Space Marines Stratagems do target 'ADEPTUS ASTARTES INFANTRY' units et cetera though, so could benefit some Grey Knights units.

The idea is you use the stratagem for extra relics belonging to the faction who doesn't have the warlord to still take relics with them since normally only the warlords faction gets one by default.

Ah, I see - I missed that in Gentlemanloser's post. It would seem to work, though I think there's probably a rules argument to be had over the "extra" being intended as extra to the one you'd normally be permitted. That's obviously not for here, though!

Gentlemanloser Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) The DG FAQ explicity allows it, using a CSM warlord and using the DG strat to take DG relics. There shouldn't be any rules dispute. Apart from the 'can't use a faq for one army in regards to another...' arguement. Edit. Yeah another benefit for us would be taking Bobby G (or any space marine detachment) would unlock using sm strats and using ones that target adeptus astartes on our GK. Going to check them now. :) Edited October 2, 2017 by Gentlemanloser Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340008-interesting-ruling-from-the-death-guard-faq/#findComment-4900658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Auspex Scan (shot unit arriving from reserves within 12" by an infantry unit) Armour of Contempt (1cp Truesilver Armour) Death to the Traitors (awesomely fluffy for us! One unit. Every 6+ to hit in fight phase versus Heretic Astartes generates an additional attack. On a GMNDK, yes please! Or Paladin. Combo it with Honour the Chapter to really make something dead!) That's about it.

Quite correct - I was once again thinking of the question/answer on using Stratagems from one to target the other, doh!
