I know this question has likely been asked, but I'm blind so please forgive me.

In Dawn of War deployment, does a daemons only start off with 1 HQ and 2 Troops or does the codex override the core rulebook and 1/2 of the Daemons DS on the first turn?

Codex: 'At the beginning of your first turn, divide the army into two groups. The units in the group that has been chosen to make the Daemonic assault arrive on your first turn, using the Deep Strike rules.'

Any thoughts?

Codex overrides the core rulebook.

Good good. That's what I thought but I wanted to be sure. Makes me happy too

Thanks for the input

its some where in the first pages that any codex overides the core rulebook. no matter what. thats why a machine spirit can fire a weapon if the vehicle also fired an ordanance that turn. Or would be able to if there was any.

I'm still not over the video game reference, I actually was hoping for some news about deamons in dawn of war.

Lol, well, I'm sorry for building you up and then tearing your dreams down.

Have a cookie, I promise, by the time you're done eating it, you'll be right as rain.

But yeah, daemons in DoW would be awesome

Ya I was thinking it was a video game reference XD

Was thinking "Holy crap! We get Nids AND daemons!"
