Captain Semper Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 You may only a pledge a single configuration. You cannot claim points for alternative loadouts, magnetisation, etc. So, other things being equal, you may as well pledge the most point-rich configuration.

Azaiel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 So, as a Deathwatch player Im very happy that our Codex comes out sometime in May. The problem is that I wont know what is legal and how much the points have been changed when I pledge my force 1st of May. Is it possible to revise my list when the codex comes out?

Captain Semper Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 No. Vows never change once made provided they are correct at the time of pledging. So if you make a vow, even if the new Codex comes out before you complete it, you have to see it through regardless. However any vows made AFTER the new Codex comes out MUST be made using the new Codex - you can never go back to Index or other lists. I hope this helps. If not, let me know! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my first vow will be stuff that most likely wont change by the codex and finish those first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm running my death guard list from the index, as I can't stretch to purchasing the codex at the moment. Is this not an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I will be mote than happy to work out the points for you (PM me- although I will not be able to do it before Sunday night my time because I’m away from my books). In the mean time. If someone else wants to step in in the mean time that’ll be fine - just do this via PMs. I just need everyone to use the same common reference so no point discrepancies will occur for the same units.

Cool, thanks. I'll dig out my list and pm you if necessary, in the meantime I'll try and get in touch with my local DG player and see if he'd be willing to do the conversion for me.

JBugman Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I"m all set, but I just thought of one more dumb question: If I"m pledging for IG/AM, I can't pledge anything outside of the codex, like Assassins or Inquisitors? I'm going to assume no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 And you’d be wrong! :woot: People who vow for IFOR must choose one IFOR Forum as their Forum of preference - say in your case the Astra Militarum. Then for every unit of Astra Militarum that you pledge you may (if you want) pledge one unit from another IFOR Forum. However all the points will go to the Forum of preference i.e. in your case, the Astra Militarum. This rules applies only for IFOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhalla130 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm looking forward to participating in my first ETL. Sorry if this has been covered already but do we post our commitments here or in each 8ndividual forum once it begins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 The latter. Once the ETL-dedicated threads become live, I’ll lock this one to avoid confusion. The vows, progress pics and general ETL discussion should be contained within the ETL thread system to avoid spamming the boards with ETL threads and it will be easier for me too to track down what’s going on. Individual blogs will of course be allowed as normal. Just don’t expect me to comment or track them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supe robot gangster #1 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Probably a silly question, but on behalf of the AOD forum I must ask! The rules specify red books for AOD, but just for clarifications sake, does this include various units and characters not in the red books (1k sons, space wolves, black shields and various named characters)? Also, what about various units released by FW with only experimental rules (termite drill and that new SA transport for example)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 For AoD stuff like the Termite, I'm pretty sure it's whatever the current, most up to date points value is at the time you vow. So if you have a Termite in your vow as of May 1st, you use the experimental rules downloaded from the FW site. If, however, FW drop a new book between now and the end of the ETL (ha!), then the experimental rules are superceded, much like with the soon to be released Deathwatch and Harlies codices for 40k, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Stru is correct. Also the wording in the rules highlights in p. 15 is not the best - of course it includes all official rules from red AND black books as well as official pdf rules - even if experimental. The caveat is that the most recent rules (points and equipment configurations) must be used. So if a black book’s rules’ section is superseded by a red book, it’s the red book that should be followed. If the black book is the latest source for a specific unit, then of course it’s the black book that should be followed. Expect everything to be clear when the official rules get posted.
