Deschenus Maximus Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Where does it say that he can only be taken in a Catachan detachment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirak Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Where does it say that he can only be taken in a Catachan detachment? He's a named character with the Regiment <Catachan> keyword? I know for a fact that you're going to lose the Catachan bonus if you include those assassins in the same unit, I'm just uncertain if you can include a named character with a regiment in a non homogeneous detachment without satisfying the Advisers rule.

duz_ Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I couldn't see in the rules where you can't take him. It would certainly mean you dont gain the Regimental benefits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Â I plan on using Marbo as the HQ for my Assassins Vanguard detachment... It's true that he isn't as killy as say an Eversor, but I think you can get a lot of mileage out of his flexibility. Fairly certain you can't do that. Marbo can only be taken in a Catachan detachment, which it won't be because you added in non Regiment <Catachan> units. Â You'd be taking him in an Imperium detachment, in this case, which is perfectly legal. Now, because it isn't a Catachan detachment, he wouldn't get +1 strength, but that isn't a big deal. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yeah I know he'll lose his regimental bonus, but gien that he wounds infantry on a 2+, it's not a big deal. duz_ and librisrouge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Like the idea of using him as an HQ for a Vanguard of assassins, might have to model up an A-team or something to represent that. Halfpint100 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 If you throw him into a non catachan detachment everything in that detachment will lose regimental rules. Â You can pay 1CP and take him as an auxiliary choice if you want him in a Cadian force or other for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have cadians, but the idea of a vanguard with marbo (dutch), platoon commander (Dillon), Harker (blain), platoon command (hawkins, poncho, mac and billy) and a Valkyrie (with a bluetooth speaker inside blaring Long Tall Sally) is super tempting.....

Inso Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've just ordered a Corvus Blackstar... which will be converted to count-as a Valkyrie for my little vanguard detachment :) .

crimsondave Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Is there a downloadable data sheet out yet with a points value on it? Only one I can find is blurry and has no points on it. Didn't they give a points value for him recently?
