You've clearly identi...I see no issue in this.<br /><br />You've clearly identified a theme within the fluff that connects to the rules, you've laid down your cash and converting stuff up to make it fit both within the structure of a codex and the models background, and going with that.<br /><br />Sure they have "their own codex" but in reality, is that a major issue? <br /><br />You can attack "count as" from two sides, one is how your doing it, you have a theme in your head, and your trying to identify how best to represent that on the table. Or you have an army, your theme is already laid out (E.G Ultramarines) and then after a while you try to SEEK advantage. <br /><br />I dont see the issue all that much with count as - if you can justify it in your head, great. If you can write a story and make it sound cool, brilliant. If you chop and change because you suck with vanilla and think mephiston or logan are going to make your ultramarines better, then maybe theres an issue here.<br /><br />I feel I am a worse culprit than you. I make my own chapter, create some fluff and hey presto I can run 2 or 3 armies? Surely this makes me the worst of the lot. Indecisive and I pick no particular theme (though truth be told I do play BA's mainly and have plenty of BA stuff in the army). <br /><br />Good post Grim though, its a deep subject thats always bound to grate a lot of peopleBullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812938536119462963.post-33556342362145257582011-01-06T08:42:34.208-08:002011-01-06T08:42:34.208-08:001.

2. Pe...1. Count as is ok as said by the rule book.<br /><br />2. People who complain can suck it, have them play with a "gav codex".<br /><br />3. If they have "fluff" complains they can suck it even more. Because if the CSM codex is one thing that it is non fluffy. And hey,fluff is the one thing that can be bend in each and every direction.<br /><br />4. If i pay huge amounts of money to convert and build things that are not made by gw or not made for chaos. I better be able to use them on the battlefield, competitively. <br /><br />5. If you(the "count as hater") don't want to play me. Fine. The chance that your army comes strait from a battleforce or is a noob hammer is high. People looking for good games can overlook their problems with "count-as"mad-dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029994064667588456noreply@blogger.com
