Each codex was designed as a seperate and balanced entity. The characters from a blood angel list should be in BA armies or counts as BA armies at the very least.
When you take characters from different codexes then you unbalance the armies, this creates broken and heavily exploitative rules that are difficult for anyone to deal with.

I like fun games and will play lists that are designed to mess me up but what's the point of playing a list that is plucked from the best of 5 spacer marines codexes just to try to win? I could take my Land raiders from BA and my terminators as troops from DA and have squads of 8 terminators deepstriking in a bunker.

The post you quoted was talking about using a different codex entirely, not using parts from multiple codexes.

Maybe I reduced ad absurdum but I read that space wolves using codex space marines for characters within the context of the thread.

I plan to put every SC from other chapters into my Ultramarines chapter (if I ever build it, lol. Making plans are easy, building it is hard.)

For example:

First company : Lysander = Agemmon

Third Company = Vulkan

Fifth Company = Pedro Kantor

Sixth = Khan

8th = Shrike

etc.

EDIT: Then again, I could use the Blood Angels codex for the 8th Company, might make more sense. Hmmm...

What I see are folks saying you can not use the Emporers' Champion from C:Black Templars or Dante from C:BA in an army list built using C:SM. I totally agree with not allowing that.

On that one, there's now a company champion for SM. But, there are different rules for BT chhampions.
