Kingpin Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I was wondering if anyone has the actually storm trooper codex. More importantly if I can ally them with my IG to have scoring storm troopers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 MT are Battle Brothers with most of the Imperial armies, so yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Oh thats brilliant, make them scoring then load them up with melta, have them drop and kill a tank they take an objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Oh thats brilliant, make them scoring then load them up with melta, have them drop and kill a tank they take an objective. My thoughts exactly. As allies do they come in a platoon like in the new IG book or are they just a single squad for each force org slot?

AbusePuppy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 They are regular FoC slots- the Command squad is an HQ, the normal squads are Troops, Taurox Primes are dedicated transports, and Valkyries are FA. (They don't have any EL or HS options.) Interestingly, their pricing on the Valkyrie is different- they only pay 10pts for the sponson HBs, where IG pay 20pts in the new book. Note also that they have a different set of orders when taken in their own codex as compared to in an IG platoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterman Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I was wondering if they could be taken in an ally detachment or if they were limited to primary and their formations (or perhaps yet another funky detachment of their own kind like Inquisition and Imp Knights). Sounds like they can be in a regular ally detachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm confused on the formation part of it. Do you have to take ALL of the stuff in the formation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yes. You can either take them as a normal ally (following all the rules for such) OR you can take one of the formations, just like the various dataslates that have formations available. Formations are complete entities in and of themselves and do not take your ally slot and generally have their own specific limitations of what can/must be in the formation. In the case of the MT ones, it is always a Commissar, one Command Squad, and two Scion squads plus three transports (either three Taurox Prime or three Valkyries.)

fluger Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm just thinking of other formations where you had 0-1 options and so forth, those seemed to be just locked in with their amounts and I was wondering if there was something in there that I missed where you could take UP TO those amounts.

AbusePuppy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Most of the formations are actually pretty fixed in their components, really- the Fireblade Cadre, Recclusiam Command Squad, Storm Wing, and most of the Tyranid ones all have specific units that must be included and no optional components.

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 So far the 0-1 formations are apocalypse related. General 40k ones have been strict in what units you have to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
