I'm getting some death korps of kreig soon and I'm wondering if you would play aginst them?

I've played against FW models, just let me know of potential special rules that could throw me off guard

Oh I phrased the first part wrong i ment if yow were just some random guy at GW would you play me

I would. FW models are cool.

I certainly would, as would nearly all the others in my store, I reccomend an alternate list using Codex:IG if you plan on attending local tournies that do not allow FW or FW lists, if a player refuses to play your DKoK, simply add vendettas to make it codex.

Against a forgeworld army? Yeah. You'd probably need to explain a lot of the strange rules, though.

If you were playing a regular army and included forgeworld units for any reason other than you think they're cool, then you're already probably not the kind of person I'm going to want to play a game with.

Not necessarily, but odds are good.

I choose my armies completely on looks

Models*

If you're playing a regular codex army but using Forgeworld models, for instance Death Korps as Imperial Guard, then yeah, no question. Very few people will give you any guff for that. If you're playing using Forgeworld rules as well, you'll just need to explain what does what as the game goes on, since most people haven't played extensively against armies out of Forgeworld books.

I'll play you if you have Forgeworld, Scratchbuilt, Home-made (within reason). I'll glance over the rules beforehand, but unless it's glaringly OTT or broken, I'll play anything at least once.

At the end of the day, non-apoc Forgeworld units are generally fine, and die just as easily as their 'standard' 40K equivalents (and often cost more points for it.)

If it looks cool and the rules are alright go for it!

Not unless I had some...and I don't, so nope.

I would play you. I love FW models. Although, I would like to be alerted of any changed or new special rules with them before the game begins.

I would play you especially because you had Forge World models. They are great looking if expensive.

This.

Rule of Cool > All else.

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

I'm curious. Does this arbitrary limitation apply to other models? And if not, why single out FW?

Tell me what I'm in for, let me know roughly what things do, and if I ask, let me look at your book so I can see their rules word for word.

No different than playing a normal GW dex that I've never been up against. Everything is new once. And gimmicks are only gonna help you so much against the might of the Imperial Guard...

Also, if you let me use the Armoured Battlegroup list I'll be EXTRA happy

I'd play them. As long as they have the proper rules I really don't care if they use FW or GW. Plus, Forgeworld models rock.

Just give me a quick heads up on the special rules before hand and I wouldn't mind.

Forgeworld models rock. I wish I had some, so instead I'll settle with playing against yours.

So long as they are not Apoc units yeah

There's no more or less reason to refuse FW stuff than codex stuff, it's all Games Workshop models and rules in the end and it all exists in the 40k universe.

I love Forgeworld, and have a number of their kits across my armies. As far as the Forgeworld army list goes, If you had the book on you, and were willing to give me a few minutes to look over it before the game so I could get a feel for the army, then I'd jump at the opportunity.

You mean limitations such as units designed for 40k use

AND
units for apocalypse use? like.... units even GW stamped with

Like units of cheap 450pts with structure points and 96" str 10 10 inch blast template weapons?

Its obviously different weight class, like having an adult vs child slugging match.
Sure anything is allowed if agreed upon on, but in a fair match? I highly doubt the power difference makes it fair.

Yes, yes i would. its the point of the game to play people and saying a beat or got beaten its all another battle i can learn from adds variety also after all ive played about 2 maybe 3 ig wonder how they play any diffrent from reguler granted id not want super heavys in the game but outher then that (unless its apoc)

DKoK face off, GO!

Sure I would, even got the rules printed.

Kwah: The Death Korps have Stubborn army wide, +1 WS 4 army wise and cheap artillery, and light artillery in the elite slots, and stormtroopers that can't deepstrike, however most units have an IG 'dex equivalent, bar the Thudd Gun, the Bombard,the Engineers/Hades Drill and the Quartermaster.

As long as I knew about it beforehand, and had a brief overview whilst deploying about what special shenanigans might come my way.
Certain things in FW I find downright broke, and if the list/army was built solely around tons of that than I'd probably still play but I might whine a bit.

I don't have any Eldar, I refuse to play against Eldar. Yep, makes sense.

But I do have the Eldar codex


i'm sure i would let someone use them, as long as they didn't seem like TFG.

The reason i was harsh before is I have a hard enough time remembering all the stuff in the main dexs, let alone forgeworld rules.

Also @ Brother srm you make it seem like Eldar and Dkok are the same. Where in the US can I walk in and buy some?

I would play against you under the condition that I am allowed to go through the rulebook to make sure everything works, and ask question before the game starts. Although I don't have any FW models, I fully support their place in the game and would gladly play against them if I had the opportunity.

Certainly.

With the caveat of no apocalypse oriented units, so no super heavies, bio-titans etc for regular pick up games. Anything else though, whether a full Forgeworld list or your normal codex with a few models/variations and it's game on.

In a world where you buy everything from delivery pizza to 40k models online the whole "FW is hard to find" argument is pretty silly.

Of course this is a pretty good rule in general. Whether or not you're playing with FW models you should always allow your opponent to read your army list and any required rule books and answer any questions about how the rules work. I always make that offer before I start a game, and explain very clearly what each model represents.
