So i have a ton tactical spacemarines. is it legal to use them as assault marines?

**Nightfall**

give them Jumpacks, bolt pistol and a chainsword and its Ok.

unless your opponent does not mined you using them as they are.

**stileprojekt**

thats what they have, chainswords and bolt pistols they just dont have running legs.

**Almarine**

Basically you could use pebbles as assault marines if your opponent doesn't mind.

I would probably prefer pebbles if you're also running regular tactical marines, easier to keep track of what's what.

I use a doa army i had been given 2 tactical boxes for xmas and have no use for tactical marines. just curious if its legal in tournament s and all if they came from a tactical box and not the assault marine box

Ensure they are wysiwyg with bolt pistol and ccw and it should be fine, don't have ba codex but in vanilla codex assault marines can remove their jump packs to take a dedicated transport such as a rhino for free so..

**stileprojekt**

they are all gunna have jumppacks. i just rather not waste them.

**GrimTeef**

The running legs aren't really a big deal. Several of my assault marines use the standard tactical legs. I would say that as long as the model has a jump pack and the proper weapons, you're good to go.

You could model your marines in Wheel Chairs, as long as they have everything in the gear list on the model. And it doesnt say they have to be running in their gear.
