- Players will roll for Warlord Traits prior to each game.
- Each player receives 1 Force Organization slot for Fortifications. (We are still deciding if we are going to allow the Skyshield Landing Pad or the Fortress of Redemption due to space restrictions.)

- Forge world army lists and units are permitted with prior approval from judges.

Would the DKOK Siege Regiment be allowed?

Forgeworld has not updated the Krieg list yet for 6th edition. At this point to make it useable we would have to change multiple things about the list.
ReplyDeleteIf you can find an updated FAQ for this list for 6th edition let us know, however you may not use any super-heavy detachments.
Any decision on the Fortress of Redemption? I picked one up last month and have been looking for a chance to use it.
ReplyDeleteFortresses and Skyshield landing pads are in, just be careful as those are pretty expensive in a 1000 point army.

ReplyDeleteWhile not a direct update to the army, IA1 2nd edition updated almost every single unit specific to DKoK and added it to the IG army list. Im not sure what exactly the necessity to update the army to 6th would be, but if the were some other requirement, what of these could i run as regular guard (from IA1 2nd edition):
ReplyDeleteThudd gun (quad mortar)
Heavy Artillery Carriage
Sabre platforms
IA Manticore (option for manticore missiles)
Sentry gun Battery
That would be fine, as long as the IA2 book specifies which slot they belong to for Wh40k. You MUST bring this book with you or the printouts and 4 copies of your army list so we can verify when we check army lists. No exceptions.
ReplyDeleteI just read through the missions. To be clear, there is no night fighting in mission 1 or 3?
ReplyDeleteI will update the file. Night fighting for Mission 1 and 3 will be rolled per the normal rules. Mission 2 will start will bypass this and start with night fighting on the first turn.
ReplyDeleteWhen will the results be posted?
