so i dont know if this goes in this thread or not but im a lil confused in the dark angels codex it says i can take a tech marine per vehicle i take can i take a tech marine with out taking a vehicle ?

**SoloFalcon1138**

What does the codex say?

**Lovechunks**

a dark angels army may include one tech for ech vehicle taken doesnt use up the force chart but is treated as a single elite choice so im asuming i hve to take a vehicle to use one?

**Grey Templar**

They are basically an Elite choice that doesn't take up a slot, and you must have a vehicle for each techmarine.

Reading is fundamental...

yep i know but i was trying to be a cheap bastard and get one with out having to take a vehical

**Grey Templar**

You can always take a Rhino.

**Brother SRM**

Why do you even want to take one? They're really, really, prohibitively bad,

**Grey Templar**

Maybe he thinks they are like other Techmarines.

**AnomanderRake**

Someday I need to try a GK army with three Techmarines and two Brother-Captains just to see the look on my opponent's face when he notices that I have five orbital bombardments a turn...

It probably wouldn't win anything, but it'd be hysterically funny.

I plan on doing it for Appoc sometime. Its only 820 points.

**SoloFalcon1138**

There are builds with multiple techmarines as a "cheapish" way to get extra razorbacks.

And this won't work as the codex clearly states what will and won't earn a techmarine.
