Thats a nice SW list. That sounded like a really fun game.

I need to take some time to reinforce the cron's because I have lots of broken , or nearly broken ones.

Hope you are enjoying the xbox!
Its really going to slow down your painting.

no, since all the rhinos are the old model and both preds are the new its not so incongruous, IMO.

and oops its 2 weeks to paint those models, not 1 week, so yeah i should be able to knock em out by then. can't wait

The extra HQ units dont have to be from the SW codex. Back when anyone could take the emperor's champion I thought about adding him to my own SW army... didnt see anything wrong with it then and I dont think anything has changed either.

Looked like a fun game. Does that new Pred look odd with all those old Rhinos?

heh heh hit the baal... I love basebaal...

And in any case, it was part of an additional 500 points in a friendly 2,500 point game.

They're looking good.

Are you going to bring these guys to the hobby tournament?

well, i did read over that before the game, but i would say that since it says HQ units and not space wolves HQ units in the relevant text of the SW special rules, it leaves it open to using allied HQ units to fulfill that obligation. it does say it's different than other armies in that regard, so maybe nothing's "compulsory" for them in the same respect as other armies. so following that the line talking about using Wh as allies, compulsory units don't apply, and an allied hq can take the slot. doesn't the allied use text mention other chapters of space marines, not just vanilla marines, can use them? still i can see it both ways, even fluffwise they'd be pretty reticent to allow outside interference in their bizz nass.

anyway whadda ya gonna do, it was a fun thing to try, though in the end the WH units added zip to the game. i would have been better off just adding more space wolves anyway.

I'm pretty sure you can't have an Inquisitor Lord in a SW army. Allies cannot be compulsory choices and due to the "Retinue" (whatever the one where you have to take an HQ for every 750 points) rule all SW HQs are compulsory.
