This is such overcomplicated nonsense. I'm kind of entertained.

This makes me kind of miss the overwrought rules of Horus Heresy.

Our intent is to let you do so and we will be making an update to clarify that in the first update to the Muster Army rules after launch. Effectively, you can always choose to pick any one, lone detachment, regardless of the mission size, even if it costs more Detachment Points than that game might normally allow.

In regards to the smaller games and DP issue, from today’s event article

So what's the point of limiting 1k pt games to 2dp???

Because you can still run 2 1dp detachments or any single detachment. Seems simple enough, could’ve been clear from the beginning but it’s resolved it.

I guess it still means you can only pick two 1dp detachments at any one time, rather than 3. But yes, it does seem like they have kinda undone the entire point of this in a panic response to the Imperial Agents cockup.

You could convert or kitbash your own Draxus, perhaps? Inquisitors are fun projects.

After the negative feedback I got when asking about using the HH Land Raider as a Venerable Custodes Land Raider in 40k, I'm a little hesitant to convert a named character.

I kitbashed my own Ragnar, before I got the actual model (Long before the resculpt was ever done)
He used to be painted, but I stripped and re-primed him to paint again.
Mine's the one on the right LOL.

Am I missing it?

How do we determine the army's disposition?

Do you pick it? Or, does each detachment comes with a disposition?

The reason why I'm now a little gunshy about using other stuff is that I have a couple issues that I think will make everything plain.

About a year ago I moved to Florida, during the process, my Imperial Knight army and a smattering of allies were lost in the move.

For a bit, I wasn't sure if I was going to get back in, and after a few stalled attempts I decided on Custodes.

Currently, I don't know the current gaming groups, most of what I can look forward to are Warhammer Store Combat Patrol games or another shop where it's all about paid league games and training for tournaments.

I'm also temporarily bound by public transportation. Getting to a shop takes a long time and I can only carry so much stuff. I don't really want to worry about showing up to a shop to have someone point and say, "you can't use that." And Im SOL for the day.

That's why.

It's determined by the Detachment. All of the preview articles contain a list of detatchments, their disposition and DP cost. This will likely be in the MFM or a similar document soon.

GW said those will be in the next Munitorum Field Manual, together with the actual points.
Edit: To be clear, disposition depends on your chosen detachments, and the MFM will list which detachments will have which disposition.

I had something similar happen to me.

Lost my entire collection (40k SW and 2nd ed rules + codex, Fantasy Dwarves + rules + army book, Man-o-war elves fleet, necromunda gang + rules)
This was back in 2000-2001. Me and my ex had all our stuff in storage as we had moved out of state as a trial-run to see if the move would be permanent. We ended up splitting up and had agreed we would take turns paying the storage fee. (we both had stuff in there, plus our kid's stuff)
At some point, she had decided not to pay so everything was lost before I could get any of it out.

At any rate, what I would do in your shoes: Plan on using the conversion as most would be fine with it, but have a replacement unit or something so if you get there and they say no, you can just swap it out and still get a game in.
As I said though, most people would be fine with it.

*edit to add*
I carried it all in one of these:
Top was for large models and all the books
1 tray for 40k
1 tray for fantasy
last tray for necromunda and MOW

It's a good carry solution if you're not worried about padding your minis to protect the paint. (although they should be fine if they have sealer on them)
Now my 40k army takes 2.
Anyway, the point is you can carry a lot in 1 so should be able to bring lots of options without taking up much room or being cumbersom on public transport.

Thanks guys, I was reading all the previews and was struggling with this. I'm not missing it... just need to be patient.

If you can afford to play 40k, surely you can afford a car?

But if they can afford 40k and a car, can they still afford fuel?

I have a car, but I can't drive until September 6th due to a March 6th seizure...

Could be a similar situation.

Oof. Sorry to hear that.
