Doctrines question

[BrainFireBob]

Can they be mixed in an Ultramarines army?

 

As in, I trigger the Tactical for my demicompany but the devastator for my auxilary on the same turn?

[BrainFireBob]

Real relevance is taking something like the skyhammer with an Ultramarine battle company- firing the "global" for the skyhammer and a Company one for the company

I thought that you can only activate one combat doctrine per turn?

[AbusePuppy]

You can only enact a single Doctrine on each of your turns, and it only lasts for you turn, as per the SM codex, so you'll have to choose which one you want.

Isn't it technically one Doctrine per detachment per turn? With multiple detachments of ultramarines, you should be able to enact multiple doctrines (a detachment would still only be affected once, but you could have multiple doctrines in effect on the table during a given turn.)

Nope. Just says you can activate a single available Doctrine at the start of each of your Turns.

Correct.

So I'm gonna ask my doctrines question here as well. In the demi company they get to use the tactical doctrine once per game so in theory a battle company would get to use the tactical doctrine 3 times due to getting access to each doctrine as a battle company and if you took ultramarines then you get access to a 4th tactical doctrine and of you took papa smurf then you get access to a 5th one right so for 5 turns your tactical marines could be twin linked for both shooting and assault?

[derek]

The question there is, is that how it actually plays out you'd get access to the tactical doctrine 5 turns in a row on a game that had all those things in a list

[pretre]

Sure, why wouldn't you?

[derek]

Was just double checking to make sure I was reading it right. Don't want someone saying I'm cheating because of that.

[WestRider]

Not quite. You get one use of Tactical if you have one or more Demi-Companies in your List, not one for each Demi-Company.

 

Also remember that when you activate the Tactical trait from the Demi-Companies, it only affects Models from the Demi-Companies, not those from your Auxiliary or Command Choices.

[derek]

Ah I don't have my codex so I couldn't double check my theory. So it'd be 4 turns then instead of 5 so still useful
