"Is my dude wearing Power Armor?"

"Yeah dude, he is."

"Okay, it's legal."




"Is my dude wearing Power Armor?"

"Well dude... It says that he's got Artificer Armor on."

"Well I read somewhere that Artificer Armor IS Power Armor.  Hahaha!"

"Bro... Power Armor is Power Armor, Artificer Armor is Artificer Armor."




"Is my dude wearing Power Armor?"

"Dude, that's a Rhino."

"Yeah, true.  Lololololol."


I dunno... It seems SO simple to me...

I get why the Artificer Armor question comes up.  It's not a bad question. I'm not writing a rulebook here, I'm trying to communicate the obvious intent.  Please don't over complicate it.

I really hope I won't regret saying this...

All Marks of Power Armor are fine, so long as they are called Power Armor.


And thanks.  :)

I do understand why people want clarification.  It's fine.  I just don't want a laundry list of exceptions and rules and this and that...  I also don't want to have a discussion / argument about it.

Considering that was a Rogue Trader rule for the most part I think your good on that one Chase!

I keep hearing all these snippets of Rogue Trader rules that make me curious... so they actually had different rules for the different marks of armour back then?

I never played Rogue Trader, I started early in 4th.  Maybe that's why this seemed obvious to you all, not to me.

Dreadknights are piloted by Grey Knights wearing Power Armor, clear as day on the model, so Dreadknights MUST count toward the 750 requirement or my head will explode.

Actually, it's terminator armor.  And when the codex came out, whether it counted as terminator armor, etc, was important for interactions with teleport homers.  Because it really was apparent that the writers treated it in some ways as up-scaled terminator armor, and written rules around it being so. 

So there, Ben.  Your snideness was not only uncalled for, it was also incorrect in a very ironic and illustrative fashion.

It seems like you took that personally. I don't know why you would.

Since we're being passive aggressive, I'd like to say it would be super nice if whoever keeps using the cutting board and the wooden bowl that are too big to fit in the dishwasher would handwash them himself instead of leaving them in the sink until I do it.

Hey Matt if you ever want to read through the Rogue Trader rules let me know.  I still own 2 of the Old School rule books.
