Default CSM 2x Special characters

I can't find this otherwise.

But the new CSM codex does NOT have restrictions on field 2x special characters.


So the question is - can I field 2x kharns? I read up the BBB and find nothing that prevents me from doing so.

any ideas?

They aren't really regarded as special characters anymore, the way new codex are written up.

Its like I can't take a master of ravenwing without the consent of the opponent? Nah.

It does not state that only 1x can be fielded.

If there is more then one of the special character that you're fielding you are going to see a dramatic decrease in the number of people who want to face you and they are going to avoid you like the plague, and thats why you don't use 2x special characters

Yeah, but if you go to any worthwhile tourney, you'll never win due to sportsmanship scores and army composition scores, and everyone else being a dick and being harsh to you because you took the 2x kharn. Up to you though.

keep in mind though that a special character is typically little more than a large pts sink... sure he/she/it'll likely kill stuff, but they're all still IC's which means they can never count as scoring units or claim objectives!

treat them as you would any nasty, killy enemy; with lots of long-ranged gunfire!

cheers!

try for 'torrent of fire/blows' next time you play a game.

it's a fairly well hidden rule so it's great fun to pull on anyone who doesn't properly read through the rulebooks!
it's not exactly "breaking" the rules per say, but it does lead to dirty tactics like 'rapid fire baiting' and such!

cheers!

LOL! okay, so i really do have the mind of a dirty, filthy radical... however, i've also seen most of the crap out there as i used to participate alot on the old tournament circut untill i got fedup with all the exceptionally long beards out there.

if there's a rather dirty trick, i'll have either pulled it myself, or had it pulled on me!

cheers!

Burt, you gotta love that guy. Remember what he kills his first grabboid with? A 10 guage, among many other things. Hes also got that beastly twin-50. And that dynamite too!
