Default Question about mixing legions.

In the new codex can you be say the death gaurd and have khorne berzerkers in the same army? Also, are the death gaurd and other god specific units not as good if they are in a black legion army, or are they just as good? I like how I can put sores and other disease type stuff on death gaurd and I'd like to do that with all the guys, but I want to have berzerkers in there. Oh and I love this smiley face lol .

Technically now there is no 'Death Guard' unit. It is plague marines. Technically, the only place the Death Guard and such exist is in fluff and special characters. so yes, you could take plague marine and berserker's, they are no longer restricted to the 4 Legions!

Awesome! I have another question then. Are there any special rules for the different legions then?

No, though Gav Thorpe has announced hopeful plans for Legion Codexs and that there is a Daemon codex out next year.

Well that kinda sucks that there's no special rules for any of the legions, but legion codexes sounds awesome. Demon codex sounds great too. I guess I'll probably be death gaurd and have the other guys alongside them, but I just might make up a splinter legion though a nurgle legion with a different paint scheme could be difficult to make nurgley.

Yeah you are right it kinda does suck but then it open up some interesting fluff options now too.

For example I working on a background where my Warlord is a blessed by slaanesh and most of the army has the mark of slaanesh to support this. However because I also use 1k sons and some zerkers I can now pain them the color of my lord / army to keep them uniformed.

My fluff can support this now by saying he is so badarse that even though they are 1k sons and zerkers they paint their armor to match his to show they are dedicated to just helping him rip the universe a new one. Where as before I didnt even have the option to play with any combination of the 4 chaos gods troop choices.

gav has pretty much outright said that there will eventually be a proper codex for each of the chaos powers... ie: khorne, nurgle, tzeentch & slaanesh.

a codex for each of the undivided legions is highly unlikely however as for the most part, it's little more than a slightly different organisation. (though nothing to the extent of say how blood angels differ from ultrasmurfs!)

cheers!

I would have thought that space puppies or BT would have been a better example, BA are fairly Codex for the most part.

As for Chaos Power codexes, that certainly makes much more sense than Legion-specific ones. Far more versitile - which seems to be the name of the game these days.

Even though currently the new Codex states that the Legions for the most part are broken and only exist in small units that are scattered. Those units are the ones that join up with Chaos warlords to form his war band......basically millions of mercenary troops in the Eye of Terror

yeah too bad they didnt think of something such as an iron warriors battery or a night lords assault team with special rules for a single unit versus a full army of them.......

oh well we can still run just about anything we want in the new apocolypse rules.
