Hello, Dakka. Now, I was rummaging around the attic today, and found a spot of where my father used to keep his old Warhammer 40k Books. Now, I found a box, which contained the Imperial Armour, Badab War part 1, and part 2. I did a quick read through, and found the Astral claws to be very nice. So, would I be able to field an Astral Claws army using some GW models? I would definetly use FW models in it, too. I thought of this as I have a lot of NOS Space marine sets. So, would I be able to field an Astral Clwas army using both GW, and FW models?

...Yes. Why wouldn't you be able to...?

Also, The Badab War books are not even a year old... Not really "Old warhammer books"

Really? I don't really have any IA books, nor do I look at them on FW. So, these are my first ones.

Ogryn is posting from far into the future.

The Astral Claws are a really cool chapter, You can use GW plastic marines w/FW addons like shoulder pads. They're no different than your average C:SM chapter, so you'll be fine rules wise (using them in tournaments and such). IF you're just playing with friends, tell them you want to build using the specifications in IA 9 and 10.

Good luck!

Thanks, I was hoping to use the Badab war rules for them. Would this be okay? Anyways, thanks for the links, too.

They became Chaos Space Marines, you know.

Yes, with Huron becoming Huron Blackheart.
