Can you take Space Wolves/Dark Angels/Blood Angels units with the Gladius Task Force Detachment?

I'm assuming, per the App, that you can (the only limitation is you can't take the Stratagems or Enhancements associated with any other detachment).

You are correct.

Sure, you can eben take chapter specific datasheets in a Gladius, your only limitations will be that you cannot mix up several chapters in one army (ie only BA, or only DA etc), and you must use the enhancements & strats of Gladius

I intend to run my BA's as Gladius also

so, yes, any space marine force can take the Gladius Task Force detachment. as all stratagems and enhancements are tied to specific detachments, your also right in that by doing so, you cant use any of the strats and enhancements found in the SW/BA/DA/DW/BT indexes.

you CAN, however, take those chapters specialist units in the Gladius Task Force. the only limit is you can't mix chapters, IE you cant have both blood angels and dark angels specific units in the same force.

by the same token, you can also use the SW/BA/DA/DW/BT detachments, so long as you dont take anything with a different chapter on the datasheets and abide by any other detachment restictions (for example, no psykers in a BT detachment, or death company in a space wolf detachment, etc).

Also, when the Codex: Space marines releases in a month or two, all marines will be able to use any of the detachments inside it, so long as they follow any relevant restrictions those might have.


from a base rules perspective, all marines are part of the same faction, so you can pivot to ANY detachment for ANY marine subfaction, provided you follow the relevant restrictions. in many cases, it would be sub-optimal to do so (for example, the deathwatch stratagems are all much more powerful on KILL TEAM units) but your allowed to do this.
