[Megabattle] Custom Model / Datasheet / Idea Approval Thread

[blantyr]

So I decided I wanted to have a special character lead my space marines and no one's better qualified than......

Steve D!

That's right, I'm gonna field a Steve D. special character. No joke. Here's the rules, is he kosher?

He was proposed as a character last year.  I objected on the grounds that we had decided no primarchs, but this was over ridden as the stats for the Emperor were really more applicable than a primarch's.  In the end we deployed him as a player rather than a character.  We might want to reconsider that call this year.

Does the rule about no named character being fielded twice apply if one instance of the named character is a player?  Would this principle also apply to Bryan and the Bryan Marine?

  I love it.

Also, I have a Razorback with a multimelta from Forgeworld, but I can't find the book that contains that option and points value (it's merely a rhino chasis with a turret mounted multi melta).

Would it be ok if I fielded it at the cost of a Razorback w/ Twin-linked lascannon upgrade? There isn't a more expensive upgrade option for the current razorback which is why I think it's a fair price.

I see no issue with the multi-melta upgrade, if you go by the codex a lascannon is always more points.  So, using that value for a the multi-melta should be more than acceptable.

[Logan007]

So if the special character I wrote up ok to use in the megabattle?

[Moosifer]

Well if you gonna do that then I need to make a marine about myself then!

Let's avoid custom characters.

I like all the creativity that is happening but lets just try to keep the focus on the models people have to make because there is not a legal model in production.  The date is closing fast and I would hate to see someone post something that could be legal if it just had a little more time to be worked on.

Not sure where to ask questions, but this seems like the place.

I'm looking over the models I have currently, and I'm not sure I could run 4000 points of one army. What about 2000 of two armies?

Also, where are the "rules" for this event? I use the term loosely, because I expect mayhem (if I can make it).

Thank you, Chase, that answers my questions. I'll have to start doing some serious maths.
