Armageddon: Rules
« on: December 19, 2008, 02:03:53 PM »
I read through the rules in the Armageddon rules last night and maybe I missed some stuff but I wanted to make sure...

We're basically using 5th edition rules with the mods from the Armageddon rules, right? So infiltrators and scouts will be able to use outflank when deploying from reserves?

And how would Faith work? I might be bringing Sisters of Battle so I wanted to make sure we're clear on this... Would Order have a shared Faith pool or would I have my own Faith pool and other Sisters players would have their own? I kind of think that each person should have their own pool otherwise it would get too complicated, but figured I should check to make sure...

Thanks!

I do have a problem with Vulcan twin-linking every non-UltraMarine whatever-gun on the table.
Thank you for this Chase

I guess I'll interpret all this to mean that inflitrating units can outflank.

Will that matter given the setup of the table?

there will be defined deployment areas for both sides.  So it should be pretty straight forward once you see the board.

Which basically is a U shape, with deployment zones on both sides of tables, including the inside of the U.

I will post a complete layout of the board soon... stay tuned.

And yes, the rumor is true: 4,000 points per player is the newly set limit.

I'm hearing rumors that you can have one nob for every ten orks in the green tide????


This is off some ork forums around the web though, but I would love to dream of a 100 orks with 10 power klaws.

If we are going to make use of the Cadian Express 4000, we need to make rules for it.

It should function as an objective of some type. We'll talk next time I see you at the store.

Sounds like it would be an interesting objective from what we discussed although breifly.
