The deal was:

Patriarch = Warboss
Magus = Big Mek
Hybrids = Boyz
Hybrids with heavy weapons = Lootas
Purestrains = Kommandos
Tanks = Battlewagons
Buggies = Buggies

Questions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/495007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/495007.page GMT What were the rules at Baltimore?
Wow, and I thought I was going to have trouble with folks "getting" my Tzeench Demon army using Guard for horrors, Penitent Engines for Soul Grinders, etc (just a concept so far)...

This guy had to explain that an I7, rending, etc model is actually an I2, pistol-packing model.

I mean, it is a BEAUTIFUL army, but it would be easier to use the Tyranid Codex and call Guard = Gaunts, Tyrant or Broodlord = Patriarch, Zoantrope = Magus...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496242.page GMT What were the rules at Baltimore?
The Kommandos are the most forced fit, but also consider they're infiltrators with move through cover led by a master infiltrator (Snikrot/Broodlord). There are more parallels there than at first blush.

Using the Tyranid codex, the Genestealers would "line up", but now your Brood Brothers would be fleet, I4 humans, and you'd be unable to field any vehicles. With the IG codex, you have the Brood Brothers and vehicles covered, but you'd run into problems repping the Purestrains, Patriarch, etc.

There are no perfect fits because rules for the army don't exist anymore, and the defacto counts as list (LatD) is gone too. It's a different thing than taking an entire army of current models and calling them something else. That can run you afoul of GT rules.

I'm speaking from experience here as my Kroot army was also of course: counts as Orks.

I just wish that mine looked as good as yours!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496897.page GMT What were the rules at Baltimore? GW did it anyway.

@Moz: I loved those Kroot. They are like the perfect counts-as race due to that eat-and-morph thing they have going.

Cheers!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/496900.page GMT What were the rules at Baltimore?
And Moz is right...Orks are probably the best all-around counts as choice due to their flexibility. Aren't too many basic builds you can't do with that codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/497536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/497536.page GMT What were the rules at Baltimore?
Vehicles ain't a massive problem as I use barbed strangler carnifexes as looted leman russ tanks.

I just explain before the game that I won't be using them to climb buildings or strike back in combat.

no limo's though ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/498273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225706/498273.page GMT
