Why Can Black Templar Ally with Eldar..... what happen to abdhore the witch......
I think i going to get a Farseer, some rangers and if forge world items with the 40k stamp are allowed than a warp hunter.
and this was meant to be fun, but its gonna get broken SOOOOOOO fast. I think for the most part T.O. will be blocking this unless other wise stated, Also like I've been saying adding a another small army is shifting the points of a normal game to 2k prob.
sorry Nids, Matt Ward hates you

Perhaps allies + fortifications will be the new "ardboyz-style" and no allies/forts will be the new comp.

from what im reading if you remove fortifications from the game it would give huge advantages to fliers. h and i also just read that instead of allies you have the option to double your force org, so that makes up a little bit for no nid allies ,

I doubt many events would want that. Who wants to see 6 units of long fangs, hive guard, rifleman dreads, war walkers, etc.
IDK about allies either. It won't be long until someone brings a JoTWW priest, psyker battle squad, vendettas, long fangs, and a hydra (or manticore) all in one list.

I am reading the book now too and tomorrow will be interesting hehe.
I like double the FOC at 2k+. Granted it allows me to run an ork air force which will be cool as heck but I dont think it will be as broken as people think. You still MUST take 4 troops choices and the way wound allocation is small squads may just not be the way to go hehe.
Chariots are AWESOME!!! I hope the chariot rule extends to the Demon Chariots hehe. They get the Hammer rule thing on assult like jump squads but they get D6 attacks then their regular attacks. Ice is going to be a happy man hehe.

Double force org means I can finally take the elites I want for nids; but it also means 6 hvys for the likes of guard ( think 6 manticores at d3 str 10 that gets full str against vehicles), SW with 6 LF, GK with 9 dreads and others along those lines. Its the same thing as allies and I have mixed feelings on both; I love that it opens up some options in lists that are lacking, but it has too much potential for abuse. And I'm really tempted to abuse the crap out of it

Double FOC not broken? Fortifications?
Try this: Coteaz 100 Crowe 150 Techmarine* 90 Techmarine* 90 Henchmen x4 + psyback 71 Henchmen x4 + psyback 71 Henchmen x4 + psyback 71 Henchmen x4 + psyback 71 Purifiers x5 + psycannons x2, rhino 180 Purifiers x5 + psycannons x2, rhino 180 Psy-rifleman 135 Psy-rifleman 135 Psy-rifleman 135 Psy-rifleman 135 Psy-rifleman 135 Psy-rifleman 135 Aegis Defense Line** + skyfire gun 100
2000pts (1994 actually) *Techmarines can repair d3 hull points per turn now ** Vehicles only need 25% coverage for cover now
So 6 rifleman dreads, 4 razorbacks, and 2 psycannon bunkers that bring their own cover. Not a list we'd see often around here but sure at NOVA/WGC/Adepticon if double FOC and forts were allowed.
FWIW, MVB is considering making NOVA a 1999pt tournament where you're allowed to go over by 1pt without penalty just to avoid the double FOC.
