Sorry for creating so many new posts but I'm trying to bringing myself up to date with all the rules and codexes (well.. all the ones I'm interested in at least) So.. Armoured battle groups (those in IA1 and updated on the FW site). I always thought that the organisation would be : - 1 company command tank - 3 (or maybe more) tank squadrons of 3 tanks Like the organisation of the Emperor's Fist or Emperor's Hammer tank company in Apocalypse. Now, while reading the rules update, it seems the organisation is : - 1 company command tank - 3 squadron with : - 1 squadron tank and 1-3 tanks Anyone can tell me where I'm making a mistake ? ![]() P.S. : Btw, another silly question but.. do "Grace of the Throne" (the special character) have the "Command tank" special rule ? Thanks by advance. Edit : Just reread the rules for the Krieg armoured battle group.. "You must take an Elite choice squadron command tank to be allowed to take up to 2 tanks from the Troop choices." So that would be : - Company command tank - 3 squadrons with 1 squadron command tank (Elite choice) and 2 tanks (troop choice) ? (total being 3 Elite and 3 troop choices ? ) Edited by Njall, 29 Sep 2010, 10:02 AM.

No. It is (minimum) 1 HQ, 2 Troops, like in normal codexes, but A elites choice is also neccasary. I could be wrong as this is of the top of my head, and i do not do Kreig |

Yes if you want 10 tanks. The krieg armoured and the regular armoured lists have the same rule, however in the IA Update PDF it reads like this: For each squadron of tanks you must take a squadron command tank in elites (thus limiting the number of tanks you can take to 12 + HQ, Fast and Hvy.) So if you wanted 10 tanks that would be the easiest way, however the minimum you could field would be: 1 Salamander Command vehicle (or something else) 2 armoured fist squads This would give you an army with no proper tanks per se, but you can do it that way. |
