Forgeworld models can bring a lot to a game of 40k. From fluffy fun
like grot tanks to the more powerful units like the sicaran battle tank,
most of these rules are found in forge world own books. While some
might have their very own dataslate most just take a slot in the normal
force org of a different codex.
This is where the problem come
in. If you use the new spiffy multi-formation formation (decurion,
Demi, Warhost) there will not be a spot for all the cool forge world
toys. I don't have the knight codex but I am not even sure if the cool
forge world knights are eligible to play with their GW brothers.
I
can understand that you could take a simple ally detachment or an
additional combined arms detachment but that means you have to take more
points to play that cool model and they won't get the cool rules like
everyone else. This cool model tax is can be pretty big.
I am
wondering if this will stop people from bringing the cool stuff. Will I
bring my grot tanks if I have to bring some boys and an HQ with out the
new spiffy rules (assuming they get them) Or would I bring the tau
commander SHAS'O R'ALAI or new riptide or barracuda if it does not fit
in the new formation. I think it will be harder to fit these things in
and still take a decent list.
As more books break from the
standard FOC I guess we will see which forge world units survive and
which don't. I am not worried about my Malanthrope since I can always
use an extra Flying tyrant and gaunts...I hope.
Let me know what you think.
