Guest Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've never even heard of it. Where's it from? Does it really matter? I mean, we've pretty much agreed that the concept of banning older rules is purely player created. We also agree that it is up to the players to agree on what is legal in a given game. And we all still agree that it's up to the TO to ban or limit problematic elements in their events. It really can't go much further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm looking for it. The rules were White Dwarf, I believe. The French Website had instructions for converting him. It was rules for the Furioso in the Black Templar Codex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 No, I don't care for legality purposes, I'm just curious because it sounds cool, and like I said, I've never heard of it. And yeah, GW's official stance is use whatever you want, make up your own Units and Rules, change any Rules you don't like, just take the Rulebook as a guideline. GW's official stance is utterly useless for resolving any Rules question or dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Actually, I just saw something pointed out on From the Fang that does make Gerantius unfieldable: He's not a Lord of War or any of the specific Knight types that the various Formations call for. Since the new Detachments all either require specific Knights, or have Lord of War slots instead of Imperial Knight slots, he doesn't fit in any of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonVilkee Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 While chaos 3.5 was awesome they were far too easy to screw up and play wrong. I pride myself on following the construction rules but even I cheated a few times with them! GW needed to replace that convoluted overly complicated monstrosity with something elegant. To bad they stripped out all the flavor with the complexity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have a real hard time trying to figure out your thinking sometimes Pax. I don't mean to be rude, and please don't be offended, but are you autistic? I really don't think this is an appropriate question to be posted to someone over the forums.

Sugarlessllama Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Why not? Is autism an embarrassing or shameful condition? I've met Pax, and even played a game with him a few years ago and I was legitimately curious. I meant no offense. Things of a personal nature are best left to PMs. Remember, while Pax might not be upset by your comment, there might be another gamer within the community that is hurt, or made to feel unwelcome by said posted comment. The key to keeping internet discussions civil, is to always remember that your posts should be: Clear Informative of your position, or argument Inclusive Otherwise you risk sounding more like a troll, starting a flame war, or more dangerously.... making someone who has been lurking in the forums out of a desire to participate within our community, lose the desire to do so. Another way to think about it is this: manners, they cost you nothing. But can reap great rewards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 But back to the OP: I think it might be neat, within the context of bringing back discontinued armies. I for one, would love to see some Squats on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapel Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's hard enough remembering rules from the current edition of the game, and codex's. Imagine how confusing it would be to have to understand or more importantly misunderstand rules from outdated codex's. In your garage, do whatever you want.... At the game store, it's polite, and more appropriate to use the most current version of the rules available for your game and army. That said, it's generally assumed, and might even be implied in the BRB somewhere that codex trumps rulebook. If a codex is released, that would imply that it would Clown older codex's as well. This game has enough rules as it is, no need to go confusing things further, but as I said....in a friendly game at home or even at the store, do what you want as long as your opponent doesn't care either way. This would also apply to the illustrious and supremely awesome follow up questions that begs to follow...."Can I make up my own Chapter of Space Marines, make up my own rules, and pick and choose rules from 6 different codex's to apply to my creative and "fluff explained" set of super rules?" No thanks, maybe in a specific situation or campaign....not for the norm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Why not? Is autism an embarrassing or shameful condition? I've met Pax, and even played a game with him a few years ago and I was legitimately curious. I meant no offense. So, just wondering, was the question on topic? Like, does the thread benefit from me being, or not being autistic? If there is no benefit, then it is misdirection at best and attempted slander at worst. The deal is that asking in a Personal Message (PM) implies you personally want to know the answer, while asking in a public thread implies an that you desire others to know the answer more than just yourself. It's like a lawyer asking questions of a witness on the stand, they ask them not to know the answer, but so the judge or jury can hear the answer.

Guest Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 This is your quote: I have a real hard time trying to figure out your thinking sometimes Pax. I don't mean to be rude, and please don't be offended, but are you autistic? So first sentience is you basically say you don't understand. Second sentence you attempt to dismiss your lack of understanding as a result of my status. And you do this in a public posting, so as to provide clarity to others that my status is in question and that is why I post things you disagree with. Even if this is not your intention, can you see where a person would come to this conclusion? The "autism" bit doesn't really matter in this case, as the way you've worded it, any "grouping word" would create this conflict. For example: "I have a real hard time trying to figure out your thinking sometimes, Necrontyr. I don't mean to be rude, and please don't be offended, but are you Caucasian?"

Guest Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can we move on? Yeah, I'm dropping it,. When he posted the first time, I really did expect to get a PM or something, but it is clearly a topic he wants publicly known, or he just doesn't understand the public vs private concept.

InfestedKerrigan Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 So, if our understanding of a "current edition" of a codex rules to be the most current in print, I forget how I was going to phrase that. It's 2am. Rather, going back to squats. We accept that they are no longer in the game. If someone showed up with the last printed squat army list and tried to run it, we would tell them it is invalid. The current core book doesn't say it is invalid, though. Damn social contracts.

PourSpelur Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 If I showed up for a game and my new opponent pulled codex Squats, one of two things is bound to happen. I just met someone I'm going to hate or I just met someone I'm going to love. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Army List is what I had said, didn't think they had a proper book. I don't think many things did back in the dark ages. Before digital piracy. How about the old Chapter Approved stuff? Wait, that's been brought up before. Keeping the stick away from the dead horse.

PourSpelur Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Codex: Squats was never printed. :)Guess we know what column I'm putting Pretre in... ;)If someone wants to play something funky because the obscure cannon causes .4 more wounds per point than the standard version and if you squint hard enough you can combine rules X, Y, & Z into a 1+ save than I'd probably not enjoy my game. If someone has old lead space Dwarf, Viking pirates with cyber-parrots and hover frigates I'll probably enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
