Armoured Company. I'm going to guess that they're not legal, but I know very little about what is and is not.

Good question really. It states in the Grand Tournement list that they are very Illegal! so on a GW level no they aren't. However my local battle bunker had gladiator tournements where they were legal. Also it is rumored that they will become legal for 08 or even 07's GT (grand tournements) most likely 08.

It dosent hurt to play it (only your opponent) considering i played one. Plus you get the random (lack of a better term) tournement that allows them. The safest route is just call ahead and ask if they are legal, but as for GTs and most RTTs they are illegal.

I'm not too worried about it for awhile, it'll be 08 by the time i get the chance to play (stationed in Iraq). Thank you for the information.

Do tournies allow mixed models...say from necromunda? I was going to mod my tanks with gangers as the commanders

You could use necromunda models to 'Count as' for Imperial Guard. That would be cool. That is totally legal. Still has to be WISYWIG. so no autoguns, more lasguns.

Actually, I'd argue against that, since Autoguns have the same stats as Lasguns... why not?

Oh, and armored company looks cool, the idea of getting leman russ tanks as troop choices is COOL.

Are you not able to arm guardsmen with autoguns anyway, Since they are a Imperium Weapon anyway.

the ig codex dosen't even make mention of autoguns so strictly speaking, no. but you should be able to for fluff reasons, and as MoW says they have the same stats.

Just wondering where you saw that AC would be a legal list in the 08' tournie scene because this would really help me decide if I was going to get that 10 box or the 3 box Russ set.

buy it anyways! the gw bunkers and the larger store will now be running more apocalypse themed games so you'll be set for those events!
plus, the armoured company is perfectly fine for friendly games - it's mainly just the gw tournaments that don't like them as they lack proper balance... (ie; the studio hasn't really delved too much into them beyond a 'fun' list.)

many independent tournaments will also allow armoured company forces as well.

and finally, it's a freakin' amazing deal!!! one you're not likely to see again anytime in the near future!


cheers!

Default Re: AC Question

all tourniments have there own rules GW does not allow but most local turnies do. so if all else fails ask the tourniment orginizor usually the shop owner or 40k guru they'll be happy to tell you what is allowed
