2. REQUIREMENT: This must be a relic they could have.
Note on 2: Without considering any restrictions yet, Item 1 allows the model to meet this requirement. Therefore, we ask what restrictions exist that may cause the model to fail this requirement?
3. RESTRICTION: The relic the model can be given is limited to a specific list.
4. RESTRICTION: Some relics have restrictions in their rules. For example, Phosphoenix requires the model to have a phosphor serpenta. The model must ensure it complies with the relics restrictions.

That's all of the relevant rules that I am aware of.
Why are you ignoring the part of the rules that say "If your army is led by an ADEPTUS MECHANICUS WARLORD, you can..."

What's the full quote? That phrase appears in multiple locations in the codex. Or are you talking about the conditional permission you quoted earlier? If you are talking about the conditional permission, it doesn't impose any restrictions, that's why I didn't include it.

Although the sentence after that permission does impose one that I forgot until now. So let's add:
5. RESTRICTION: Named characters can not take relics.

Read the full quote for yourself, you will see you need an ADEPTUS MECHANICUS WARLORD to have any relics at all.

Must be a relic they can have. Without having a AM warlord how many relics are available?

Your partial quote or the conditional permission? Your partial quote doesn't express a restriction, and neither does the conditional permission. Restrictions have phases like "can't", "can only", "must not", etc. You haven't yet demonstrated that a restriction of "you need an ADEPTUS MECHANICUS WARLORD to have any relics at all" exists.

In terms of your question "Without having a AM warlord how many relics are available?", that depends on game size. For strike force games, two AM relics, for onslaught three AM relics, and others one AM relics. That said, I haven't considered if other strats might grant relics, so that number may be higher.

You can't do anything unless you have permission. You've failed to show permission to access any relics at all, despite being asked.

You don't need any rules to support my position I only need you not to provide a straight quote statateing a specific requirement which you can't or you would have done.
you don't need rules to support your position? Hilarious. Bad faith again

Yes but you clearly don't a strawman is when you build up a seperate easy argument and defeat it rather than the opponent's- unfortunately you haven't made a logical argument yet you have just repeatedly made claims without any evidence to support your position .

So below, when you literally made a straw man argument, you weren't? Or you're lying? Or you don't remember what you typed? Any chance you can pick one?

your saying he's mortal therefore he can't be a human your adding extra inferences not in the statement socrates could be a horse

We can agree there is no warlord therefore there is no free relic.

That's where the arguments diverge

Hi nosferatu1001, since you're active on this thread at the moment, I'm also interested in you collaborating. You would have seen that I've written up a list of permissions and restrictions using a numbering system. I would like you to review it and let me know if there are any items you have issues with, why, and relevant rule backings. If I have overlooked a relevant rule that should be included, please mention it and why it is relevant. I've put the updated list below for convenience.

1. PERMISSION: One Skitarri 'Alpha' or 'Princeps' is given an Arcana Mechanicum
2. REQUIREMENT: This must be a relic they could have.
Note on 2: Without considering any restrictions yet, Item 1 allows the model to meet this requirement. Therefore, we ask what restrictions exist that may cause the model to fail this requirement?
3. RESTRICTION: The relic the model can be given is limited to a specific list.
4. RESTRICTION: Some relics have restrictions in their rules. For example, Phosphoenix requires the model to have a phosphor serpenta. The model must ensure it complies with the relics restrictions.

I concur with your list

As to the fool yes if you remove half my argument and take it out of context explaining why your argument is wrong it will sound odd. but it still defeats your argument.



The core of this argument is the same as the socrates one

If you have an admech warlord you may give an admech character an arcana mechanicum

Means

if you have an admech warlord

You may give an admech character a free arcana mechanicum

If you do not have an admech warlord

You may not give an admech character a free arcana mechanicum



It does not mean

If you do not have an admech warlord

You cannot take an arcana mechanicum from any source giving you permission



And the meaning of it must be a Relic it can take stems from this


Hence socrates is mortal or he is not

Where as your argument remains he is mortal therefore he is human because your argument relies on information not contained in the statement

(Which also shows that it is not a strawman it is an identical argument so if it were a strawman you have proven yourself wrong)

I present evidence that there is not a general restriction on access to Artefactotum:
ARCHEOTECH SPECIALISTS 1CP
Adeptus Mechanicus – Requisition Stratagem
Within the techno-vaults there lie many mechanised wonders that can be requisitioned during times of war.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the ADEPTUS MECHANICUS keyword. Select one ADEPTUS MECHANICUS CHARACTER model in your army and give them one Relic (this must be a Relic they can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).
Note that this stratagem includes the requirement to have an Adeptus Mechanicus Warlord. This would be a redundant requirement if it was already a requirement.

U02 - you literally made a different argument to one I have presented. That's the definition of a straw man argument

You're done as being relevant to me, as you've shown you do not argue in good faith. Because I did not remove "half your argument", I quoted the bit where you made up an argument I never made and "defeated" it, as if you think that's what's happening here.

Bye bye

I'm glad you concede defeat

You have yet to present an argument just unsupported assertions therefore I cannot make a good case against it as one is not required

Alextroy

And jakesiren

Have made the rules explicit and you have failed to address any of mine or their points

If you don't want to address mine why not address theirs - because you can't

I'm glad you don't understand more words, it seems.

I'm not addressing you, is all. I'll get to theirs. But given you so hilariously claimed not to be making a straw man fallacy while literally doing that, it was worth pointing out.

I'll address the substantive posters arguing in good faith in my own time. Shockingly, your opinion on timeliness is of no importance.

No the point that you are now at 6 post not addressing any of the substantive points raised by me alextroy or jakesiren because you can't.

I can't make you address the arguments but if you won't you are essentially yelling I'm right with your fingers in your ears

And that adds nothing to the discussion. Other than evidence you think we are right (because otherwise you would be able to address them)

Jake - I've looked through yiur list. The fallingodwn I see is the same one as before , that without having a. Warlord, you don't have any relics you could have, as no relics exist.

Hence why I think it's ambiguous, and I don't think it's intended to stop you, and hence why I think it's faq worthy.

Where do you get the concept that the relics don't exist until you have assigned the warlord? If you are able to quote the rule that you believe conveys this that would be appreciated.

To look at it in a different way, what you have expressed seems to be the idea of the relics being locked until your warlord has been assigned as Admech, at which point they are "unlocked". I don't see that idea supported in the rules.

I must agree with Jake. There is no rule that states you may not take AM relics if you don’t have a AM warlord. There are a number of rules that allow you to take relics. Two of those require you to have a AM warlord, but the third does not.

Is there some tiny difference in the text in this Codex making folk get so annoyingly odd about this iteration?

Because most Codexes say “hey if your general is from X army have a Relic” but we know “extra Relic” Strats aren’t locked to that faction.

What am I missing here after pages of Rule 1 breaches and bickering that illuminated nothing?

And who is even allying their AdMech making this even a problem in the first place???

Try reigning it in DeathReaper and re-read what Alextroy said. He's saying there's no restrictions regarding taking relics if you don't have an AM warlord, so we can use the permissive rules to give a model a relic.

Anyone useing the raven/Metallica ik list for start which has had some passable tourney results (for IK). It might be one of the better ways to run knights at the moment.

Your not missing anything most factions have that and no it is entirely true that other codexs have the same wording and are not locked to a faction that's what the majority in this say.

The core argument is that 2 people seem to have invented a restriction from that stock phrase. Which they are unable to quote in anyway or support in anyway. They then apply that restriction to "it must be a Relic they can have" claiming you don't meet it if you don't have a warlord which would be true if that restriction existed but it doesn't.

Exactly as I repeatedly said ages ago that whole argument is predicated on that restriction existing and it either does or doesn't and noone has been able to quote it so it doesn't.

Except you have not shown permission to take one without a AM warlord.

Why are you ignoring the part of the rules that say "If your army is led by an ADEPTUS MECHANICUS WARLORD, you can..." (This is explicitly how you get access to AM relics).

The Strat gives permission to take one and it "must be a relic it can have"...

You cant have one without having an Ad mech Warlord.



P.S. why did you ask the question if you are going to ignore the rules and do what you want anyway?
