I'm trying to make a "soup" army up in Battlescribe, consisting of an Inquisition Vanguard detachment, and detachments that give me access to heavy support from the Imperial Guard and Razorbacks from the Adeptus Astartes...

But I want to do it without having to take HQ choices from the IG and SM?

Can't seem to work out how to though, other than to add an Auxiliary Support Detachment for each unit I want from IG and SM to add an Auxiliary Support Detachment...

Anyone here able to help me out?

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719722.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help?
If you're running them in true 'Imperium soup' mixed detachments just add the Force like normal but instead of selecting 'roster' and picking a new detachment type, just pick the existing detachment to add them to.

In Matched Play, there's no way to do that. Assuming you want to run Matched Play detachments, you must include 1 HQ as a bare minimum for each.

NOw, there are some ways around this - for example, a Tank Commander is an HQ slot for IG, so you COULD field a detachment of just IG tanks by using Tank Commanders running a spearhead.

But there is no way to get around the necessity for an HQ slot - assuming of course your opponent isn't just willing to let you bring along a mixed detachment in a casual, narrative game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719758.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help?
Here's what I've got so far (it's not set in stone, and probably quite likely to get trounced vs a Death Guard army) -




As I understand it, that's legal in Matched Play, and is Battleforged?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719810.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help?

In Matched Play, all units in a given detachment must share a Faction Keyword (unless they're UNALIGNED)- but, importantly, IMPERIUM can't be the shared keyword (or CHAOS, AELDARI or YNNARI).

So you'll need to check to make sure there's another shared Faction Keyword, and I don't think that there is for your first detachment. So this wouldn't be legal for Matched Play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719891.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help? brb?

On both page 240 and 214 the brb states IMPERIUM as an acceptable Faction keyword in reference to Matched Play and Battle Forged and units in detachments being from the same faction.

I'm guessing Battlescribe would give an error when creating the roster if that wasn't the case?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719946.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help? BS does not validate soup keywords, only battlefield roles in a detachment.
Your list is illegal since the acolytes and the marine units do not share another keyword beside IMPERIUM.
This limitation was introduced in the first Big FAQ in.. 2017?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719949.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help?
This is one of the things I hate about current 40k, the rules are all over the place, check this web page, check that pdf, get this codex, get that supplement!

Guess I'll have to do a rewrite and add the SM stuff in another detachment or something. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719952.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help?
Edit: Go with a Inquisition Vanguard, maybe space marine patrol but you will need a HQ and TROOP choice, and finally your super heavy aux. The assassin will still be 95pts and 2CP]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10719997.page GMT Battlescribe - multiple detachment armies - need some help? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10720640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785580/10720640.page GMT
