Ok, here is the question, if i play a daemon hunters army with gray knights, and i wish to ally with guard, can i take any of the new guard stuff? or only the things listed as options in the daemon hunter codex. Another question is it says in the daemon hunter codex that you may take 0-1 leman russ batte tanks. Does this include the new variations of the tank? or can i bring a squadron of 3 of them?


any info would help thanks dakka

The answers to these questions are all painfully obvious.

Stick to what the rules allow you to do.

1 tank, only the LRBT, no variations of it

ok thanks....

wishful thinking

and another question, are the points costs for rhino's and other vehicles based off the daemon hunter codex or the space marine/guard codex

Strangely enough the answer remains the same.

Stick to what the rules allow you to do.

ie. stick to the pointvalue given to you by the Daemonhunter codex,

I use to play Sisters I don't know Daemon Hunter that well but if the force allocation remain the same with allying with daemon hunter as well as sisters? if the force charts and rules are the same then pick your primary army then use the left overs for the other half/ such as IG as primary army and Daemon Hunters as a support ally then the rules apply separately unless there are what I call the gray area rules, rules that over laps such as as long as this joe schmo is on the field you can not take psycers in your army those kind of rules but you can take inq. Storm troopers for D. Hunters which help with the gray rules thats the best I can give for advise with out knowing and having the codex in front of me but that combo you got with those two armies is very good I have seen Catachans/DH army on the field and they rock pretty hard esspecaly when there is a lot of terrain on the field!

i think the only codex at te moment that you have to check another codex for effetcts/cost is Spacewolves. so unless you play them just look in your codex

no for guard it gives you options to take from the guard codex.. exampel, infantry platoons

Ok, there are two ways to deal with this, the Strict way, and the Lax way:

Strict Way:
Use only what is named in the codex EXACTLY.
Therefore, you can only take:
Infantry Platoons
0-1 Rough Rider Squad

Lax Way:
Because some units names have changed a little bit, you use the best fit. Therefore you can take:
Infantry Platoons
0-1 Rough Rider Squad
0-1 Scout Sentinel Squadron (You need to discuss whether to allow Armoured ones at all, as taking up the 0-1 or as having a separate 0-1 choice)
0-1 Leman Russ (You have to discuss wither to allow Squadrons or Variants)
