Mega-Battle Decisions

[Grand Master Steve]

Kevin is right. The issue of a player with 2 armies and a unit using another army's transport never came up. I think in that scenario units from army A can use only non dedicated transports from army B. Ie: imperial guard riding in a land raider. Land raiders can be used as a non dedicated transport. I may be wrong on the house ruling on this matter.

I can't remember if it came up at all.  I think this is because we discourage people taking two different armies to the Megabattle.  I guess the exception to this is the Baneblade that most people tack on to their list.

Let's avoid mixing armies this year.  If it does have to happen, I think they should be required to use their own transports and own Codex, just like how the teams work in a doubles tournament.

This is a perfect example of a Megabattle related can of worms.  Saying yes to something like this sets a precedent that I really want to avoid.  I'll end up with Ghazghkull in a CSM drop pod at the end of the day.

Since (from what I'm told) we're having several tables to play on, can we have a table where we can do this?

So, if a chaos player took renegades and marines, could the marines ride in a stormlord the player brought? If so, could the renegade guardsmen use it as well?

I remember it being explicit.  If one was working out of two codices, no interaction was allowed between the two armies.  There were exceptions for forces that could be combined in ordinary 40K games, such as Inquisition and Kroot.  It wasn't just Baneblades that were allowed to be attached to codex forces.  Chaos superheavies were allowed to join Chaos, Demon or Traitor Guard forces, while Imperial superheavies were allowed to join any Imperial force.  If such superheavies could carry troops, they could carry the troops from the player's army.  (I remember an approval being given for traitor guard in a plague tower.)

I'm all in favor of keeping it simple.

I don't recall this coming up last year.

One of the only things I can think of that came up was my Inquisitor along side my Dark Angels.He and his storm troopers used the Valkyrie (which I guess I can't now.Grr!) He couldn't use anything else, nor any other unit use the Valkyrie. The Special Character had some kind of rule to him about transports ,but other than that nothing else could use stuff, even if same player and list.

Doug you said GK in the Valk.  Barring the GK dex preventing it, an inquisitor can join storm troopers in a Valk.   As for the mixing, straight out of the Apoc book alot of the data sheets are interchangeable between traitor and loyalist marines.  This never came up last year because of the don't be a douche rule.
