Well then how do you create custom characters?


there are some rules within chapter approved 2019. And a codex will have various options for differant types of characters.

beyond that, make something up and run it past your buddies. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596812.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596812.page GMT what book do I check in to find..... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596827.page GMT Re:what book do I check in to find..... https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chapter-Approved-SB-ENG-2018

Note that these rules are horribly unbalanced.

They're explicitly not for Matched play anyway, but even in more casual games just be aware it's very easy to make totally broken Characters with these rules.

The only vaguely balanced way to use them is to allow both players to take the same number of traits. Even then, I'd still use a lot less than the rules say as it just gets extremely silly very quickly.

Basically there are no real rules to create custom Characters for normal games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596883.page GMT what book do I check in to find.....
Honestly, if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, just run it as a Techmarine with a conversion beamer (found in the Space Marine index).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596896.page GMT what book do I check in to find.....

Even the custom character rules in Chapter Approved don't cover this. However, with a bit of tweaking and testing with different points values, you could quite easily come to a nice datasheet for your model. Just make sure to run it past your opponent first, don't expect them to have to be fine with it, and if in doubt, price your model a little bit higher than what you think.

Yeah, most PUGs will not allow any homebrew Datasheets. But if you play with a close group of friends it might be an option.

100% agree that you should overcost any custom creation. The vast majority of people will tend to undercost things they design for themselves, and so if you think it's overcosted it's probably about right!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10596903.page GMT what book do I check in to find.....

not pug, PUG. short for "Pick Up Game" aka going to a local game store and getting a game going with someone there ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597240.page GMT Re:what book do I check in to find..... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597409.page GMT what book do I check in to find.....

Chapter Approved 2018.
Keep in mind that you aren't allowed to use the custom character rules in match play, just narrative and open.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10597678.page GMT what book do I check in to find.....

"Joined: 2018/12/15" that's like 5-6 dog years.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10598352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10598352.page GMT what book do I check in to find..... CA 2018 stuff is designed to be earned over campaign play I think.

The other thing that's kinda cool about either of these options is that you get to play your characters at various stages in their development. You get to play the green soldier, with no skills; the promising young warrior with one skill, your weathered warrior with two skills and your cynical veteran with three skills.

It's interesting the way the rules influence the model's behaviour on the tabletop, which creates the personality of the character at various stages in the life cycle.

I think if you played KT with one of your friends in a campaign setting, you may be able to each drop in a character from KT into your 40k games, but I think that's pretty much the only way. KT rules at 40k scale would be crazy.

You seem new to the game so this won't be a replacement for actually getting and knowing the rules, but it helps manage the logistical nightmare that is 40K. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10689723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781294/10689723.page GMT
