Exactly. Tanking wounds with models can be risky. If there are to many shots you can try to "look out sir" some.

It is a little complicated at the moment...

A battle forged army consists of detachments. The number of detachments is not limited, bit at least one is necessary.

Detachments can be:

1...

I hope the genecult members don't happen to be just a bunch of chaos cultists, some standard genestealers and the once limited broodlord model

Just split the Tac squad in two five man squads and call it a combined arms detachment.

You are completely correct. Skitarii units can only be played as formations or as their skitarii manipel because they can not fill the required slots of combined arms or allied detachments. As only...

Inquisitors are in their own detachment consisting of at least one Inquisitor. Two scitarii troops are the minimum for a scitarii manipel. So it would be a perfectly legal battleforged army...

Every unit can only be part of one formation. And a unit in a formation can not be in another detachment.

If all units in your army belong to detachments or formations (which are their own...

The objective secured rule comes from the combined arms detachment, which is similar to the old foc or from the allied detachment. Other detachments may have other rules. But you can indeed have a...

You can indeed use the formations without the decurion. But then you dont get the command benefits of the decurion or of your CAD for the units of the formations. As always the formations build an...

Wow... they finally got it.

I managed to change my Imperial Guard with penal legionaires as troops and Psykers as HQ to fit in the Astra Militarum codex, I ripped the Hellboard from my Baron model...

I considered using Chaos Space Marines, but I don´t like a 3+ save on the Magus. Hybrids are the problem in most of my ideas. The early generations of hybrids should be like speed and strength buffed...

Thank you for the advice. Are there any claws or similar in the gaunt kits?

Thanks for all the replies.

It looks like its really hard to find models which really fit the old arbites. Converting scouts seems to be the best way. Considering I need only five arbites to get a...

I´m inspired by the novel "deathwatch" where the local arbites are cult members as far as I remember. A Lord Commissar could be the Arbites Leader, veterans with shotguns and plate armour could be...

Wthout knowing anything about your tax-system I guess a familiy of four pays not more than two people because on a long run it is necessary for a functional political system to have enough children.

I´m trying to build a battleforged list for a genestealer cult. The patriarch and the purestrain will be the broodlord hunting pack formation. The issue with being come the apocalypse allies ist...

Eldar can take the malefic daemonology as a discipline... So yes, it is possible for eldar to summon a greater demon at least rules wise.

The newer 40k formations are for use in normal games. The 4 assassins formation is an example but newer codizes or supplements feature 40k formations too like grey knights or champions of fenris. A...

There are already special detachments with their own unique command benefits. Every 7th edition codex has one and the supplements have their own. Nemesis Strike Force Detachment in Codex Grey Knights...

As far as I unterstood, you choose first if you play an unbound army or not. If you play unbound you just take what you like and don´t think about detachments etc. and don´t get any command benefits....

sure, sororitas can not have a Stormlord. But you can have a primary Sororitas Combined Arms detachment and an Astra Militarum Combined Arms detachment with a Stormlord in one battleforged army

P.S.:

The FAQ for Escalation states that the sentence containing "may only be chosen if your primary dectachmend is..." should be ignored. Every Combined Arms detachment can contain a lord of war...

This is only right if you are playing in a tournament where only one primary an one allied detachment/formation may be allowed. The rulebook has no such restrictions. You are allowed to field two or...

I a battleforged army you can only choose a Lord of War in a detachment with the appropriate slot. An allied detachment doesn´t have this slot. To use a Stormlord for example you need a detachment...

In a battleforged army you can still have as many detachments as you want (as long as you´re not in a tournament where other rules can be given). This can be combined arms detachments, allied...
