Skkipper Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 when making a detachment only one faction keyword has to match correct? say skarbrand has <chaos> and cultists have <chaos> can they be in same detachment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yes. It just removes benefits such as Alpha Legion, or access to stratagems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. There are a few exceptions, but basically you have it right. Every codex includes special rules bonuses for having a more specific faction exclusively in one detachment. For example, CSM Cultists have the HERETICUS ASTARTES and <LEGION> keywords. If every model in the detachment has the HERETICUS ASTARTES faction keyword, then they gain access to the CSM stratagems. If every model in the detachment has the same <LEGION> keyword, then they gain access to that Legion's trait rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skkipper Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I was mainly looking to avoid having to pay the -1 cp for just taking Skarbrand. The other part of the list is 3 super heavies. Being the Kytan, chaos knight and the brass scorpion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 What about a CD patrol with Skarbrand and Letters? Givesyou access to khorne demon strats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skkipper Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 don't have the points. skarbrand was the add on after picking three lords of war and having about 400 points left. I might exchange the knight and skarbrand for Anggrath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Swap out gear on the Knight? The Kytan and GBS should both benefit from Daemon Stratagems. But I understand not, also. I also fully support 3 model lists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand not, also. GW decided to clarify that there's a difference between the DAEMON keyword and the DAEMON faction keyword. Only a detachment with only DAEMON faction keyword models grants access to the DAEMON stratagems or can benefit from them. And FW still hasn't updated their book to clarify that any of the DAEMONs have the faction keyword (all of the daemons, including Anggrath, are NOT part of the daemon faction until they FAQ this....). Really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
