Hey guys,

I really love the new GSC Atalan Jackal and Jackal Alphas models and wanted to convert them to look like IG Catachans.

Is there any way what so ever i can run GSC detachments with IG detachments and still use the IG named characters, regimental rules ect.?

If there is no way, do you think it would be better to run the converted GSC Atalan Jackal and Jackal Alphas as SM scout bikers or DKOK death riders?

I know i'm taking a gross liberty with proxys here but i just want to hear your views.

Just to clarify, i would end up having to run heavily converted Atalan Jackal and Jackal Alphas as either a SM detachment with scout bikers or a DKOK detachment with them as death riders.

Thanks a lot!

Use them as rough riders in your catachans

I can't tell if I am misunderstanding the question.

As you asking if you can make Sly Marbo a brood brother?

Please let the answer to that be know. Not Sly Marbo...

Not necessarily, i'd be using GSC models and rules but for lore, look and feel they would be Catachans. Just need to know if i can take a detachment of GSC and a detachment of IG and keep all their rules without the issues i've read in the GSC codex. I'm not 100% sure if those rules are for everything or just tournaments.

I was thinking of that but for the amount of time and money i'd be spending on them i'd prefer them to be better models!

I do understand where you're coming from however, i know i'm taking the piss a little here.

It says in the codex you cannot take named IG characters with your GSC....

If it was a team game scenario, where a GSC player and an IG player were on the same side, it would be acceptable. In that case they'd be completely separated, with separate warlords and command point pools and such.

For the purposes of any matched play game, IG in a GSC force must be subject to the brood brothers rules. And in that case the Jackals are likely to be better off than Rough Riders.

IG named characters usually have fixed <regiment> tag (Marbo being Catachan for example), so no, you can't.
Brood Brothers is, in terms of rules another Guard regiment.

If you want to take GSC models with Guard, like the bikes you mentioned, take them as rough raiders.
